On November 30, 1982, Manfred Mann's Earth Band performed live in Budapest, showcasing their dynamic sound at a time when they were experiencing renewed success. Prior to this recording, the band had released the album "Somewhere in Afrika" earlier that year, which included the hit single "African Summer." This album not only illustrated their ability to blend rock with global influences but also marked a significant period in the band's career where they were exploring themes connected to social issues and the environment. The live performance captured on video includes the song "Don't Kill It Carol," a powerful piece highlighting the band's knack for energetic shows while addressing topical concerns. The concert in Hungary also reflects their international appeal during the early 1980s, as they gained a dedicated following across Europe and beyond, reinforcing their impact on the rock music scene of that era.
