Goleen Earring

Legendary Dutch rock band's final 2019 performance featuring "Radar Love", "Twilight Zone" and "When The Lady Smiles", NTSC Region Free DVD directed (six cameras) by director Marcel de Vré with audio mix by John Sonneveld, and including a replica of the concert poster, fan photos and liner notes about the event and the aftermath. Golden Earring's last performance ever was held at the Rotterdam Ahoy on 16th November 2019. By accident, visual director Marcel de Vré (who had captured the Golden Earring Five Zero Show at the Amsterdam Ziggodome in 2015) recorded that final performance. He was hired to take care of the video content and live camera shots that would be projected on a big video screen hanging on the back of the stage. Without the band being aware, de Vré recorded the show and archived the complete footage. Luckily, excellent audio and video was available of a tremendous concert, that sadly turned out to be Golden Earring's final performance - with this historical release as a result.

Digitally remastered and expanded two CD + DVD 45th anniversary edition of the first Golden Earring live album. Remastered from the original IBC Studios master tapes, featuring 5 bonus tracks, including 3 previously unreleased recordings from the concert in Brugge in March 1977. Includes a 30-page booklet with a new essay, memorabilia, and photos. Live is the band's first live album released in 1977. With it's long, spun-out versions of classic Golden Earring songs, this record is vastly different from other live registrations by the band. It's also one of only three albums featuring guitarist Eelco Gelling as a band member, adding a new dimension to the band's sound. Furthermore, this album emphasizes Golden Earring's strong rhythm section on swinging songs like "Mad Love's Comin'" and "Radar Love".

Limited 11CD box set from Dutch rock legends Golden Earring. Together with Red Bullet, the band collected seven live albums, plus some unique recordings previously only available as B-sides. Also included are several recordings from the Five Zero Show from 2015, which were only available on DVD before…

Dutch group Golden Earring has always inhabited a strange and twisted territory between hard rock and straight-ahead pop that's also home to Blue Oyster Cult and modern acts like Monster Magnet. On Bloody Buccaneers, Golden Earring doesn't come up with any real surprises, but manages to deliver a surprisingly consistent record of the same sort of hooky, roots-influenced heavy guitar music that made the band famous. Despite the lack of any songs as good as "Radar Love," Golden Earring's career-making mega-hit, the material is pretty decent and played with panache. Barry Hay's powerful vocals are still wonderfully sandpaper tough and George Kooymans' guitar playing is as ballsy and filled with punk rock 'tude as ever.

After spending much of the late '70s and the early '80s as a cult band, Golden Earring returned to an international level of popularity in 1982 with the hit single (and popular MTV attraction) "Twilight Zone." This song and seven others are featured on Cut, a solid album that found Golden Earring starting to deviate from the pop/rock formula they perfect on No Promises…No Debts and Prisoner of the Night. Like those albums, Cut works its way through a series of guitar-based rock songs built on strong hooks. However, the band allows themselves to instrumentally stretch out a bit on some of the songs this time out.
