I really can't think of a woman more beautiful than Mariska. She is so captivating. Very overlooked in her vocal abilities. This gal can really sing. I think I am in love with her. (Yes I no she passed)
Different from the studio take but not live either. Weird: you see van Leeuwen singing backing vocals but you don't hear them. Mariska looks stunning as always
+MarkVL I believe it is a remixed studio backing track (with the left-out van Leeuwen backing vocals), but Mariska is singing 100% live here: she pronounces "Goddess" in the right way, not "Godness" like on the studio version, second verse she sings "Her weapons were her cristal eyes, now making every man mad" (so here was the "now" put in, apart from a slightly different way of singing). "Got what no-one else had": the "had" is much longer than on the single track. And the is no "WAUW" after the second verse.Apart from that: back then I was 16 and sooooo in love with Mariska (who wasn´t.....?)
+Harry Kruisselbrink Yes, Mariska's vocals are live but it could be the audio from a different performance, that happens a lot on youtube. This doesn't seem like what was broadcasted originally audiowise; why would Robbie doing backing vocals if they're not there (as the leader he sure knows what tape is used, in top of the pops artists always had to use a different recording from the original).
Stationed near Oxford, UK with US Air Force when this came out, love it, nothing like it today. Thanks for the video and memories
Good song, bad camera work. I'm not sure why the camera man was working so hard not to show the lead vocalist.

@@MarkGelderland in top of the pops you always had to sing live.
@@ShockingBlueandMariskaVeres Not true. They had to make a re-recording and mimed to that
@@MarkGelderland sorry, they did not.
Woman enough for any man but with just a hint of vulnerability as well.
Shocking Blue - Venus - 1970
MARISKA VERES IS the Ultimate Hippie Chick. Stunningly Beautiful, Talented and A Very Sweet Lady (In Private).
let me in that cage please
Wow, Like all dutch singers, the shocking blue are really amazing
Thanks for sharing one of his biggest hits !
I love the way Mariska connects with the camera in this performance
Yes much more animated than usual and seems to be enjoying the attention.
@@kuduking8071 it is because she was singing live. that was very important for her to feel comfortable.
good music Ensenada city mexico
great song, surely the cameraman got the sack after this.
Drummer could have phoned his performance in...
This is the sell out number - why we've all heard it years later.
+Marmamarquess Fucking genius 's what it is.
Can someone tell me what song came after that would really interest me
Bella.
