Well, You Got Me

Good!

One of my favorite songs ever, plus a version I've never heard.

I was hoping.you'd look at this video.

It's really good!

Hey, with this band, you should expect it to be good.

I love that they used the horns. That part is so important to the sound of the original.

I agree. Though even the acoustic version of "Radar Love," with just the four in the band, still sounds great. Btw, the guy in the cap playing saxophone is their old friend Bertus Borgers, who was touring with them back in the ' 70s. He and George are good enough friends that when Barry gave a bit of an update on George's health late last year, he mentioned that George, who could still walk around then, was out with Bertus and they were laughing. Barry thought they'd been drinking...and he said he thought that was the best remedy, and that George sounded good.

Also, the lights are cool.

They put on an amazing show.

Finally, I want that tiger maple Les Paul he's playing.

Me, too. That's a gorgeous guitar, and it sounds incredible, especially with his playing. Love watching video of him playing guitar. Hate that he can no longer play, because of ALS. Golden Earring would almost certainly still be doing concerts and recording some new music if he weren't so ill.

Joe Bonamassa has one of George's guitars. Guitar World article on it, with video of Joe talking about that one and another guitar he'd added to his collection. Link below, and the section of the video on the guitar that had belonged to George starts at 2:13.
