I can't listen to this song in the car anymore. Its sure to get me a speeding ticket! As soon as I hear the first notes, my foot pushes the gas pedal to the floor & the windows go down. This was glorious to listen to on an open stretch of road, the wind blowing thru my hair & blasting this song. Ahhhh the memories!!!
One of the most underrated bands of all time (except in Netherlands, of course). Sadly missed. Wonder how many times Cesar jumped over his kit, gotta be thousands
@@vudunof But they did sweeten the chorus, didn’t they? There were more voices than there were guys on the stage. The rest was live, and very well played IMO.
@@davidsthubbins176 That’s LIVE - lead vocals are totally different + he even pronounces the lyrics different throughout the entire song. Same thing with backing vocals. Not sure if you’re old enough to remember watching these performance when they happened on this TV show but it was a big part of my life to see your fav. bands/songs on here.
@@acerjuglans383 Lol. I did not watch it until the end. I only watched for timing, it is damn good. And about 99% better than the other backing tracks I have seen from that era.
Loved Golden Earring. I used to buy Kerrang Mag in the 80s. One journalist reviewd a gig, and I contacted him. He arranged a VIP entrance to the gig which was at a High School in Utrecht Holland in 1989. I was collected at Utrecht Rail Station in a limo driven by the bassists brother who was the Road Manager. Had dinner with the band backstage and shared some joints after the gig. A one in a lifetime experience
@KittyGrizGriz Oh, I've seen a few great bands in my life, but there are some I have missed like Foghat in their prime etc. I am sure there are bands you have seen too that would make me jealous
Bass players have great rhythm 🎵, ah ha, yes, the Danelectro bass is a fabulous instrument. I love it’s ‘classy’ name. I read that Rinus G. made his 1st bass, either by himself or with the help of his father. Either way he’s crafty 🎸 and a fabulous player. Hello from the 🇺🇸 Oklahoma & Wyoming! 😺
Love the EARRING !!! That bass line by Rinus G. rumbling along on down the track. I can never figure out which band member is the most handsome 😂 they’re all HOT 🥵 WHEW!!!
I hear you loud and clear! I’ve had the maddest lady crush 😻 on Rinus Gerritsen ~ Forever… Bass players have great rhythm. Rinus’ sister, Milly, is married to guitarist George Kooymans.
Pretty sure the vocals are live (they're *not* the studio recording), and maybe the guitar and bass - but the drums kept going as he jumped over his kit.
I thought the midnight special was all live performances but theres clearly a second guitar part that isnt played by the guitarist on stage, still love the song and performance!
I can't help but wonder... how long was Tim Hawkins the lead singer of Golden Earring!? LOL No seriously, Barry Hay and Tim look like they are family, to my old eyes... 😎👍👍
So, did these guys tour with an additional guitar player , horn section and backup singers to be able to actually play it live or did they ( like Zeppelin) play a stripped down live version since they would not be able to include all the overdubs from the studio recording.
This performance is very confusing. On one hand it sounds live since the singer is obviously struggling in some sections, but the drummer isn't really playing since he has a silencer on his snare drum. Believe me, that particular silencer he has makes it make no sound at all. Also, there's backing vocals there that nobody is doing. It's like they're miming to a previously recorded live performance.
Not just the drumming but there are two guitar parts at times. I thought it was live as well at first but I think it’s just a good mime job of a live track.
@gnpahdc it's totally prerecorded!! The guitar player is paying but you hear nothing . There's definitely 2 guitars but only one player. Backing vocals and no one is singing them! Plus the singer is 2feet or more at times from the microphone but his voice is loud n strong. Sad it isn't live. I loved this song since I was a kid.
His voice was compromised for this performance as he could not hit the high notes. Lead guitarist doubling him on the chorus as well. Maybe recorded during or after a long tour.
Good to hear this was a live vocal. Barry's voice is apparently weakened perhaps due to overseas travel / illness..this is evident. I've seen and spent time with the band in Holland, Barry's voice is much better than this live take even to this day. George however vocally is spot on. Too bad Caesar's snare has a dampening pad and wished this was the long version vs. the 45 edited version of Radar Love but, better than nothing. Radar Love and Twilight Zone are the only two songs us Americans know. Their numerous LP's over the decades (since '65) are nothing short of remarkable especially all 3 Naked Truth CDs / DVD's. Hope George is managing well with his illness.
How lucky for you to know them personally, and to have visited The Hague! I’d love to travel to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 some day. Have read that people, especially the men are naturally taller, there? It’s very very sad that they had to quite touring in 2021 due to guitarist George Kooymans illness of ALS. I love their song “She Flies On Strange Wings.”
@@KittyGrizGriz Yes She Flies on Strange Wings is fantastic. I first heard this song in 1975 and it is still a favorite. Be sure and listen to their double LP/CD called On The Double. It's the very first recording with Barry from 1969. If you search my channel you will see interviews with Barry, George and Caesar from 2001. Thank you for the note.
Thank you for the music tip, I don’t own any of their albums, but need to change that. I peaked at your channel and love the bird videos and sounds. I’ve got several bird baths on my back patio in Oklahoma, and enjoy watching them. My favorites are the mourning doves, cardinals and finches. Flickers are beautiful but they enjoy pecking on my upstairs wood siding, ugh ha! In Wyoming, I enjoy watching the ospreys.
An interesting combination of live playing and lip-sync. No horns on stage, but you can hear them! No 'oooh' backing vocals, you cannot see them but you can hear them! Ha!
Augmented playback. It amazing how one guitar can simultaneously play three independent melodies and two singers in duet have four or more part harmonies. And best of all, the singers voice (live) is totally blown out. Where’s the horns & synth at the end? So sad.
Sorry but I never got this tune. Never liked it never loved it. To me it's boring. What am I missing? When I was a kid Def Leppard would rave about it and play it live, but to me it was the worst song in their set. Surely one of music's most over-rated songs? Please convince me otherwise.

This song along with Black Betty. Two songs that gave me the urge to see how fast my car would go.

THANK YOU MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
Golden Earring. Massively underrated band. They were much more than this song.
Vanilla Queen was always my favorite song of theirs.
@@barcham She Flies on Strange Wings I dig big time.
Vanilla Queen... and Candy's Going Bad
Great drum-work on this classic.
A true rock classic.
Some songs stand the test of time. I was 14 years old when this hit the radio, and it still sounds amazing 50 years later. Outstanding! 😊
Same here, class of '78
I love how they go back and just hang out in the beat for a long time again. The whole song's about that beat! So good!
I remember watching this live! Boy am I old. Love it!
Defiantly one of the coolest beats of the entire decade.
I’ve watched this probably 10 times. I can’t believe how great it is. That’s George Kooymans on guitar and singing the chorus. He wrote this song.
I think Ace Frehley copied everything he could from George🤘
It's not a live performance. The're lip syncing to a track.
@@BenCoombs They’re not lip syncing to the recorded album version

One great track 🎉Played loud and often
Backing track with live lead vocals. Great band all the same, and a good performance. Ya can't drive the speed limit if this comes on the radio!
Hi..I was wondering ehere the 2nd guitar was..too bad...such a great song
The drums look live to me. I could not find a hiccup there.
@@9ZERO6I guess you missed the end when the drummer jumps over his kit BEFORE THE SONG'S OVER
@@acerjuglans383Also, he has a drum pad on his snare😂
@@acerjuglans383 Lol. I did not watch it until the end. I only watched for timing, it is damn good. And about 99% better than the other backing tracks I have seen from that era.
I wore the grooves off of that album..one of the best lps from the 70’s.
The drums and bass make this song 😎
Ya think??.. haha
A FANTASTIC rhythm section!
Is always the “backbone” of a great band🤘
Legendary
Thanks Midnight Special
The originals are always better than the remakes most of the time
and this the best and the original thank you.🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁🎶
An all-time favorite song of mine! Great band!😎💜
Incredible band with a DEEP catalog.

Did you eat herring? Stamppot?
Saw them perform this live a couple years later! Great song and band!
One of my favorite songs with "Back Home" 👍Loved the Danelectro Long Horn bass♥️Cheers from 🇫🇷 🍻
Yes! The danelectro bass. John Entwistle played them…
Bass players have great rhythm 🎵, ah ha, yes, the Danelectro bass is a fabulous instrument. I love it’s ‘classy’ name. I read that Rinus G. made his 1st bass, either by himself or with the help of his father.

Hello from the 🇺🇸 Oklahoma & Wyoming! 😺
@@KittyGrizGriz Hello from France 🇫🇷 Cheers, 🥂🎶
Played today by Victoria De Angelis of the Italian rock band, Maneskin.
Oh wow, transported back to the 70's!
An absolute classic! 🤘❤️
Love the EARRING !!! That bass line by Rinus G. rumbling along on down the track. I can never figure out which band member is the most handsome 😂 they’re all HOT 🥵 WHEW!!!
The jump by drummer Cesar Zuiderwijk (I love Dutch names 🇳🇱), over his drum kit ~ IS the money shot!
These guys knew how to rock..
This is a song you wanna have blasting when your cruisin" on down the highway!! 🚘
Happy Thursday... thank you for sharing! 💖
I'm 68 now, living in a foreign country (not the USA) and this sounds great in ear buds.
Thank you.
Funny how this song is so driven by the bass, and the camera doesn't get near him.
I hear you loud and clear! I’ve had the maddest lady crush 😻 on Rinus Gerritsen ~ Forever… Bass players have great rhythm. Rinus’ sister, Milly, is married to guitarist George Kooymans.
I actually remember seeing this when originally aired. I was 15, maybe 14 atvvthe time.
Still a killer tune 🎶
Man, I love this performance !!!
Yep lip synced well.
Awww yeah, this is my jam right here. 😁
and the guitarist is in fact wearing a golden earring.
Excellent.
Would love to see them do Long Blonde Animal...on this show....
Lol.....
Best driving song ever!💯
Never saw the band before. There is someone else playing lead or it may have been recorded before the show for the song.
It's Prince behind the curtain
@@jeromejamies3641 Shredding away.

I have seen a couple different performances where the guitar player has had to come in and cover the higher notes on the chorus.
Guitarist does a great vocal on the chorus.
Cesar Zuiderwijk! Woo Hoo!
I can't help but wonder... how long was Tim Hawkins the lead singer of Golden Earring!? LOL

Stripped down, but so well played you’d never know . Saw them in 74 perform most of this lp and some newer tracks
@@Onteo1
So Lucky! Where did you see them perform?
I wish I’d seen the Earring live too, alas, not to be.
@@KittyGrizGriz saw them on a triple bill in Rochester NY. Opening was Robin Trower and headliner was Black Oak Arkansas.

Believe me, that particular silencer he has makes it make no sound at all. Also, there's backing vocals there that nobody is doing. It's like they're miming to a previously recorded live performance.
Agreed, it's kinda bizarre. In some places the drumming matches up, and in others not (and certainly not at the end).
Not just the drumming but there are two guitar parts at times. I thought it was live as well at first but I think it’s just a good mime job of a live track.
Offscreen additional musicians?
Plus you can hear horns which are on the original recording. Where is that coming from?
Guitarist is also not playing the solo.
Playing with a backing track
Candy's Goin' Bad...
That was the follow up single
🤘🤓
Holy cow, I thought this was an 80's song! Way ahead of their time!
Drummer with that Buddy Rich technique 🔥
Was this the beginning of New Wave? All it needed was 80s moves.
Latest Space Force LP is great too!
Too bad they chose to do this as an air-band pantomime. Fantastic song. Fantastic song writing. Great record. Sad in a way. Good to see them, though.
Are you sure? It's definitely not the one that I've heard on the radio or have in my collection, and the mouth movements match up to what's playing.
@@drh3b i hear two guitar parts and a back up vocal part.
Syched
@gnpahdc it's totally prerecorded!! The guitar player is paying but you hear nothing . There's definitely 2 guitars but only one player. Backing vocals and no one is singing them!

yeah it's very odd
They've done that a few times before with other bands as well.
His voice was compromised for this performance as he could not hit the high notes. Lead guitarist doubling him on the chorus as well. Maybe recorded during or after a long tour.
Who’s playing lead guitar? No one on this stage
thats what i was thinking
They dubbed in the Therimen part I think during the Chorus.. Otherwise the singer was live..
Groß Art ig !
A rocker listening to Brenda Lee 😮
연주 보소 쥑이네

Partially live
It's live with backing tracks
Barrys voice is really straining here.
An interesting combination of live playing and lip-sync. No horns on stage, but you can hear them! No 'oooh' backing vocals, you cannot see them but you can hear them! Ha!

I think I like the studio recorded/vinyl version a lot better than this live version!
At least the drummer got in some practice time on his practice pad ~DOH!
2:44 well, as a musician…
It`s live but, do i hear backing tracks,2 guitars?
Especially in the chorus
This song is about Brenda Lee
Who’s playing slide guitar?
Wait a minute...Barry and George.....one of them is missing, because he is not the lead singer on this...
Singer is struggling tonight. He must've attended a Zeppelin concert the night before and lost his voice. Usually much more power coming from him.
Yea, I noticed this too. Barry Hay is hoarse. What a great band! I Love their song “She Flies On Strange Wings”.
Yeah, his voice is definitely hoarse. Still, better than most of todays "singers".
Probably from all the free stuff that they get in the dressing room 😉
Unfortunately singers can’t change their strings.
@@KittyGrizGriz coke throat. Post nasal drip from a lot of piwder.

Wtf was up with that solo?
I think that one of those girls is a Honkette yeh uh
Barry Hay sounds hoarse. George Kooymans sings the chorus on his behalf... and quite well!
Too bad he’s singing over an instrumental track.
Bummer that they're not really playing the song live. Usually these midnight specials are top notch musicians. Guess one hit wonders are just that...
They're a Dutch band with two US hits - this and "Twilight Zone". They charted big in Europe, so not really a one-hit wonder.
Don't like the backing tracks during the chorus and the singer sounds weird.
A great song of my youth……. the camera work was awful.
Where the f is “candy’s going bad” live?
