\u201cThe Final Round\u201d, the last ever live album by legendary Manfred Mann\u2019s Earth Band vocalist Chris Thompson, was recorded in Germany during The Final Round Tour 2022.nIt was recorded with Chris\u2019s band of 21 years featuring Mads Eriksen, Frank Hovland, Gunnar Bjelland and Zsolt Meszaros, with special guest Marc Rohles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a 2-hour long CD set featuring all the hits of course. Delving back into the early Manfred Mann\u2019s Earth Band classics like \u201cMessin\u201d and \u201cBuddha\u201d, plus some new originals from Chris and of course \u201cYou\u2019re The Voice\u201d. It is a great representation of the songs Chris has been playing over the years with the band, producing some great live versions. Anybody who has been a fan of Chris over the last years will not be disappointed with the quality of these CDs or the track listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chris says, \u201cIt has been a great pleasure for me to play with these guys over the last 21 years. The best band in the land, enjoy! I shall miss it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
