manfred mann's earth band covered "spirit in the night" for their album "nightingales and bombers", with the title "spirits in the night" on the european album and single releases, but "spirit in the night" on the u.s. and canadian albums and singles. the manfred mann version differs from springsteen's version mostly in its arrangement, relying heavily on keyboards and using different harmonies in the chorus. the album version, featuring mick rogers on vocals, peaked at #97 on the "billboard" hot 100 in 1976. the following year, manfred mann's earth band again released the song as a single with the titles "spirit in the night" (u.s. and australia) and "spirits in the night" (other parts of the world), this time with vocals by chris thompson. that version reached "billboard"'s top 40, peaking at #40. this version was released as a bonus track on the 2004 cd release of "the roaring silence." also available on 'blue' roaring silence lp in the 1970's. "spirit in the night" was to be the first of three songs from the "greetings from asbury park, n.j." album that manfred mann would cover — the others being their #1 hit "blinded by the light" and "for you."
