notes
Manfred Mann's synth solos, played on Minimoog and Polymoog, are woven throughout this Springsteen cover, a defining synth-rock moment of the year that topped the US chart. Mann's use of these instruments across the Earth Band's records is well documented. Let the filter sweep actively during the solo breaks.
