Ich durfte George und seine Band 1970 in Rotterdam kennen lernen, war dort mit 16 Jahren mit einer Fussballauswahl und wurde bei einem offiziellen Empfang der Stadt von Ihnen zu einem Konzert eingeladen. Seither begleite ich diese Band und habe Konzerte in ganz Europa und in Brasilien besucht. Für mich eine der grössten und sympathischsten Bands der Welt.
By some miracle I still have this magnificent work of art on the original vinyl album. It has battle scars from so many wonderful nights when we were all too wasted to see straight but it will still play without skipping. I first became aware of this version of Eight Miles High around 1972 and now in 2020 it still touches my inner soul like very few others could possibly do. The range of the bass solo is amazing. This song has been dissected by myself while tripping on window pane acid, mescaline and the usual mind expanding methods back in the day and everything always goes back together quite nicely. I don’t know if laboratory grade LSD is even available currently but if tripping is something that you can wrap your head around then Eight Miles High is like an old friend worthy of a nice long visit.
@suspicionofdeceit ….. That’s the one. A tiny square window pane so potent that one cut into 4 quarters is more than sufficient to keep four open minded people busy all night discovering the vast universe that exists right in front of their faces.

Niemand kann auch nur ansatzweise erahnen welche Rolle Golden Earring in meinem Leben spielen , gespielt haben. Danke dafür , ihr niederländischen Freunde. Ihr habt manch dunkle Stunde begleitet und mir Zuversicht geschenkt. Only GE was able to fill all the place in my musical heart. Long time in the seventies much people thought, it must be one member of this band, when they saw me. Physically, with my hair in this period between 1969 and 1980, i had a look like Rinus Gerritsen....
a friend sent this to me--never heard it---he also sent strawberry alarm clock's Rainy day's mushroom pillow. YES to all those trippers out there that have beautifully commented. "they say you will never be the same. AND, you won't!"
The fantastic Dutch drummer on this record is : Sieb Warner (The Hague, September 17, 1946, real name Siebolt Jaques Warntjes) is drummer and singer. Warner became known as a founding member of The Motions in 1964. His first professional band was Willy & his Giants. Warner was a member of The Atmospheres when he founded The Motions in 1964 with Rudy Bennett, Robbie van Leeuwen and Henk Smitskamp, and released the first single in the same year. Warner played on four albums with The Motions, until he was asked in 1969 to succeed Jaap Eggermont as drummer for Golden Earring. He would only play with the Earring for a year, and his last performance was at the first Pinkpop-festival on May 18, 1970. He was succeeded by Cesar Zuiderwijk and turned his back on music to become a civil servant in Groningen at the Informatie Beheer Groep (now DUO). He is now retired.
I first heard of this group when I saw them at a small venue in Detroit in late 1969. They did this song and I was blown away by it. At the time, they were the loudest group I had ever seen. Of course they went on to more commercial things (Radar Love), but I still loved this era.
"Eight miles high" läuft bei meinem Vater immer im Auto, er flippt regelmäßig aus, ich kann es verstehen, das ied ist einfach geil, geil, geil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Dad always said to me "Let's Fuck our hearing, with Golden Earring" then play the vinyl... on 2x 10" 2-way Tannoy speakers and 2x 3-way Tannoy speakers with 12" woofers... great shit, them the days!!!!
I am sorry to read that you loved this song before, but after hearing this version not anymore. I know it's a long ride. Maybe you learn to appreciate it (again) in time.
i missed it i wasnt birn till 67 but oddly i like the 50s to 80s bettet than the mudic today and i was playing deep purple , sabbath, styx back in late 70s.i didnt get into the psych rock till i was 18.there was a radio in md wgrx 100.7 and back in mid eighties they played alot of 60s 70s bands..now its a hodge podge of eras type channel .so nowhere near as good like everything else.
Yes, and that puts them up there with the Stones as being one of the longest surviving groups. Maybe their history is even longer... I would go to Holland for my holidays as a kid, and would walk the streets looking for record stores and the latest Earring records. Aside from the too-long middle jamming this tune still sounds great.
Ik begreep dat Jimi Hendrix getroffen was door het basaandeel van Rinus Gerritsen alhier. Er schijnt sprake geweest te zijn dat Jimi Hendrix Rinus in zijn Experience-band wilde hebben.
Phons Bakx , I’m the typical American that only speaks English so forgive my language barrier. I became a Hendrix admirer in 1969 but I don’t see any similarities between the music of Hendrix and Golden Earring other than they are both amazing at what they do. Plus Hendrix promised to meet us in the next world, so don’t be late. Maybe someone reading this will be kind enough to interpret a few words that it all becomes clear or reasonably close. Cheers !
Squidgeyblack80 , I don’t exactly know but the volume obviously goes all the way to 11 and such low frequency feedback would require a huge amount of current to be drawn by the large tube drivers in the amps final output stage. I can’t remember the tubes part number but they typically had a very cool looking blue tint to the glow which pulsated as the load varied. At normal operating temperature, if someone made the mistake of touching a tube they would draw back a finger minus the skin that remained stuck to the tube. Lotsa energy wasted and dissipated in heat but the amp delivered a unique sound due to the use of vacuum tubes. Good times and good vibes for sure.
The original version by The Byrds is anything but ‘simple’ - it’s one of the most experimental, groundbreaking singles of the ‘60’s…mind blowing & hypnotic…Golden Earring’s version is a tremendous version but please don’t even try & detract from the brilliance of the ‘66 original
@@petercoyne7910 I couldn't agree more and had to put ACG7001's statement right. By the way, my favourite earworm is 'turn,turn turn', especially the short guitar solo following the voiceline in a wonderful harmony ~2:03 - 2:40
Thanks for sharing this gem, a true highlight of experimental and psychedelic music. This brings back memories of long gone times of smoking some stuff with good old friends.
Yes a great album. I have bought it and still have it in my collection. But sadly the leadsinger and co founder of the Earrings George Kooymans, I just hear it today, got the ALS ilness. So the band decided to stop. George, your family and the band I wish you all the strenght in the world and many thanks for the music!
One of the best cover versions in (Psychedelic) Rock history ... I still remember when the record got released (in the early 70s) ... I never get tired listening to it [especially to the Danelectro bass guitar solo] :-)
Yes, it's not just a cover version, but an extraordinary interpretation of their own, from 3:40 to 4:20 I can even hear a kind of oriental touch (Barry Hay was born in India) like in 'See see' from 'The Wall of Dolls'
@@ACG7001 I'm sorry to say but theirs is just an ordinary hard rock copy that doesn't even reach the fine level of the Byrds' original (see petercoyne7910's comment) let alone Golden Earring's masterpiece...
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS BAND THEY ARE GREAT TO ME ,I HAVE SEEN THE STONES IN 74 FRANKFURT GERMANY .THE MOODY BLUES //THEY WERE PERFECT IN CONCERT ///BUT I GOT HIGH AND GOLDEN EARRING I PLAYED ,I WAS LUCKY TO OF SEEN THEM 4 TIMES .STILL TODAY THEY ARE THE BEST TO ME
This band is crazy I love them! The Byrds only played this song right on the album not the live videos I saw. Golden Earring went nuts with it and it’s awesome.

since 1976 I am a fan when I got the LP Switch for my sixteenth birthday. My second album was Eight Miles High from 1969, which had this on the B side. Forty years later the band is still performing and making albums and I still love this one as one of their best. Rinus Rules!
this one´s so much from outer space!!! a great kind of the arts of musicianship. first heard it way back in 1977 or so, yeah when their live double-lp was released. it´s such a hunting tune it won´t let you loose any more. I love it I really do.
FANTASTIC, thanks for posting this. I had the album until I lent it to a friend who put it near the heating and it got bent. Bah, To this day flying on strange wings.
i have loved this group from the first time i heard them, saw them twice had all of their lp wall of dolls i really loved but they are still the band i listen to 50 years now my friends, when it is great it stays forever
different band; different take on this song, whoever does it and the Byrds did have a constraint of 'time' it came down to (a single 4 the record co) all that.. not to mention it was in 1966..this is a hell of a great version; love that guitar which is trademark to me with this band ..sorry I can't word it right.. thanks so much for this and love how long it is!!!!
They were in town. Boston. 69 or 70. Ran into the members at E.U Wurlitzer & Co. We talked. Our bands both did a version of 8MH. I like theirs better. Can't believe I found this. - Bass players love bass solos.
I saw Golden Earring at the Fillmore East around 1974 on a Tuesday audition night. Blew the roof off the building with Radar Love. They never were hired to play the weekend there. I wish there was a video or recording of their audition.

the best cover version ever, I like it more than the original version
I really enjoy how Golden Earring were able to take a simple pop song like Eight Miles High and make it sound so...progressive!
Listen to the original. It’s the first song to use middle eastern music in a jam track. The lead is using John Coltrane penatonics
Well, not that simple...;-)
