I lived on the east coast of England. I went to school with this Dutch kid. In the middle of the night we would sneak out of our parents homes and go stargazing. He had this album on cassette and it was our regular middle of the night go to. 50 years later I can honestly say I have never forgotten him and Vanilla Queen has been, by far (and then some) the most played track in my extensive record collection. I loved Golden Earring. I still do.

45 years after its release and both the song and band are still fresh.

Love watchin' old rockers still able to knock holes in the wall. This album killed me in 1973, still rocks. So good to see such a mix of ages in the audience, too!

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOOD WE HAD IT. WE JUST KNEW MUSIC WOULD BE ABOUT THE BEST. SADLY POPULAR WON OUT.

This is the best f***ing band ever. And this has always been one of my favorite Golden Earring songs.

Wow. Blown away by Moontan at it's release, and still blown away today.

Amazing. They play and sing this with passion. like Golden Earring is still in their 20's on stage.

The soundtrack of my youth

Aged rock stars still kicking ass

Great Composition ! Thank You GOLDEN EARRING ... All Time Great Band !!! ♦️

This was a Big Hit when I was 17 back in 78 got out of School in 79 it's one of the Bad Ass songs ever written thanks Golden Earring

Immer wieder der Beweis, das man auch heutzutage ohne irrwitzig schnelle Guitarrenarbeit obergeil alte Musik ans Publikum vermitteln kann. Vanilla Queen forever

Greatest Band in existence.

This is my favorite GE song.

This is an amazing song from a fantastic album. And all the boys in the band are all good friends thanks for all the great concerts best band ever

I tell you what I will always listen to Golder Earring..

Been listening to this since I bought the vinyl release in 1973. Still have the vinyl. Never dull. Better with age. Especially when compared to contemporary “music”.

Hearing that synth passage was truly mind bending back in the day.

best song from golden earing

I grew up in the 70's listening to this group was in the Hospital with back surgery fell in love with this song & Radar love .

rediscovered golden earring recently.....wished they had lived in my time zone.......enjoyed them 50 years ago.....and even more now....one of my favorite golden earring songs.

Einfach nur geil, das sind echte Musiker die habens einfach drauf.

What's your name honey? yeah! by far there best song!

Deze song is een van de vele voorbeelden van dat ze live beter waren dan op de plaat! Een Earring pareltje!

Big fan since 73 still togther in 2021 n still pretty young (LoL) one of the best bands lve ever fuckin heard luv G.E.

When I was 9-12 (57 now) they were my favorite band. I have an original-cover Moontan...and along with Switch, & To The Hilt...those were my 3 fav LP's. My bro-in-law said they were unreal live back then, and he's a truly great drummer.

Remember Golden Earing from the era of 75 until 78 79 when I got of high school one bad ass sing n lyrics

Hi some of the best music ever and you will never see the likes again.Sad for today’s youth.

Sorry I missed most of their music here in America. Bought Moontan LP in 74 and it was AWESOME but.....they never seemed to tour in TEXAS. So I forgot about them until "Twilight Zone" and then...........until I found this show from 2015. Saw EVERY other great band but am REALLY happy I finally caught this awesome show! Best wishes to George and the rest of the fellas...

Oh but you are so wrong. I saw them in the 70s twice a Dallas county convention center and again at the convention center when they played for KZEW and Zoo world. I even remember them being in studio on KZEW in the 70s where we learned they could sing in English but speaking it was a different matter at the time. I believe it was Charlie Jones who had them on. Yep they played Texas

Listening to the Earring makes me so ff-in nostalgic and sad of days long gone by, can t stand it. Holland of the 70ties and this super group as the music score to it. We will never have our country back and the music that went with it.

Those old boys tearin up the house like no ones business and making the young musicians cry. So sad about George.

Super Band Danke fürs hochladen. Ich wünsche George alles gute. Du schaffst das.

Great album. Been listening to it for 40 + years now.

Absolutely mind blowing!

Everything on Moontan was incredible. You know it's a mindblowingly good album when "Radar Love" is the worst song.

Very underrated band. I listened to them all the time in the 70's. Same with bad company.

Oh your the lucky guy who had it on vinyl. I played an 8 track that I repaired until it was unlistenable. Who dreamed up 8 tracks anyway? Did they really expect the damn things to last longer than six months? Hit a bump going down the road and the deck would start eating the tape and you had to fish it out of the head and hope the tape wasn't folded to much where you didn't have to cut and splice it. People who weren't around have no friggin clue what I'm talking about, but I bet you do. Next trip to the past we will cover FM converters. Lol

This song got zero air play until a few AOR radio stations began playing it to play something other than Radar Love. I think they weren't as big in the US primarily because of the language thing, which I understand they got much better speaking English as time went on. It's really hard for a band to tour a lot in the states with not many American hits, and without just a ton of label support which it didn't appear they got a lot of.

awesome song takes me back to my young ages

These guys are truly from another galaxy....

shocking news today - thoughts are with George

No, not all original. Of the band that started in '62 - they were massive in the Netherlands (still are), only bassist Rinus Gerritsen and guitarist George Kooymans are here. Barry Hay was with them by '67 and Cesar Zuiderwijk on drums came on on the 'Golden Earring' album (also known as 'The Wall of Dolls'), circa 1970. But in terms of 'original' since 'Radar Love', yes. This is the first single I got of them...'65, I think, whilst on holidays in their home town of Den Haag. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6SNqJSDYpOdnNY.html

WOW!! I have to agree so much with the comment that Radar Love was the worst song on the album. The entire Moontan album is great and I always thought that Radar Love - as great as it is - was the weakest song on the album. This is a rare 5 star album and 5 star every song album. I was 16 years old when I bought this 8 track and I played it over and over in my very first car.

Golden Earring kicked ass, folks! No shit....so sad about George

Het vleugje electronics van dhr. Gerritsen kan ik bij deze opname moeilijk plaatsen. Misschien teveel de tovenaar van Ozz. Voor de rest natuurlijk een goed nummer. En misschien niet helemaal een nummer uit de Earing school.
