their best album by far
A really, really good stoner album. This album is so hot it's hard to handle. Must get!!!.


Good CD
I was let down because I was expecting way more power from such a powerfull band but still I will recommend it to anyone who likes Golden Earring. Not as good as the accoustic concert of some note, but still good. A nice, long version of Radar Love was about the only saving grace this disc had to offer, and some equally long, very hypnotic cuts from the Moontan album were a nice touch too.


Not for Everyone
If you are a die hard Earring fan, you will definitly enjoy this album. Golden Earring Live is not for everyone. It is a honest, on the spot live recording, despite the fact that there is a extra guitar part all the way thru the recording that is not Barry Hay. Whomever did the job, however, was very capable. Barry's vocals get a bit lost in some parts of the recording, but there are many moments of sheer rock-n-roll magic that make it worth while. George Kooymans does a wonderful job of reproducing some very difficult harmony vocals with Barry. All in all, I would have to recommend it to all earring fans EXCEPT those who expect a perfect and polished product. This is a kick ass live rock-n-roll recording, warts and all.


Great Live Golden Earring
I have had a cassette of this album since 1994, and I love it. LIVE is a great concert recording from Golden Earring from right about the time when they were starting to merge Outlaws-style guitar jamming with Zeppelin heaviness and Floyd-like space rock. Get this, THE CONTINUING STORY OF RADAR LOVE, and SOMETHING HEAVY GOING DOWN all at once.


Long Overdue
Great guitar & bass soloing with my favorite Radar Love version. 25 years have passed since this double live performance from the Netherlands premier rock band, still going strong today. Remaster sounds fine, except for 2 serious glitches in the recording process: a 1 second "drop-out" at 1:06 on track 2 and a "scratch" in the mix at 8:45 on track 8.

Overall, my favorite live Golden Earring ahead of "Something Heavy Going Down" and "Last Blast Of The Century".
