Golden Earing at The Rainbow 1973

Golden Earring is one of few bands to achieve international chart success in three consecutive decades, first with their hit cover of the Byrds "Eight Miles High" in 1969, followed by "Radar Love" in 1973 and "Twilight Zone" in 1982. The latter two remain staples of classic rock radio today. As a band never content to follow any formula for very long, they approached each album like a new enterprise, often reinventing their music. In 1973, they released their most popular album, Moontan, which gained them a much larger fan base and allowed them to tour internationally as a headliner (with Kiss and Aerosmith among their opening acts).

In 1973 the performed for 2 nights at London's Rainbow Theatre. The second performance was recorded and various tracks from that recording can still be founbd on the internet.

The line up was as follows:
Bertus Borgers - saxophone, trumpet
Eelco Gelling - guitar
Rinus Gerritsen - bass, keyboard
Barry Hay - flute, vocals
George Kooymans - guitar, vocals
Cesar Zuiderwijk - percussion, drums

They of course performed their classic track Radar Love!

Were you there on one of those nights? What do you remember?
