Golden Earring - She Flies On Strange Wings (Dutch TV, 1971 & live in Voorburg, 1979 & Leiden, 1999)

The lead single from their 1971 album, Seven Tears, which wasn't released in the US. This reached #4 on the Dutch charts, spent a couple of months on the charts. The album reached #1 on the Dutch charts. I've posted another track here: https://democraticunderground.com/103481003 .

This first video, with the band lip-syncing their just-released single on the roof of the Amsterdam Hilton, was from a special featuring several Dutch bands, including Shocking Blue and Earth & Fire (whose first and biggest hit had been written by Earring guitarist George Kooymans, who also wrote this song and the one I posted in the thread mentioned above; he also cowrote a lot of their songs with lead singer Barry Hay, and many of their early songs with bass player and keyboardist Rinus Gerritsen).




Live in Voorburg in 1979:




Live in Leiden in 1999. This song has always been a fan favorite:
