share those videos right away.

I posted more about them in replies in the Lounge thread, so I'm going to link to that thread - https://democraticunderground.com/10181711813 - and I'll probably copy that additional info here later.

I'll be adding to those replies later today, too, since I found out Barry Hay, Golden Earring's lead singer, had mentioned them in his autobiography, and I found that via Google Books. It's in Dutch, though, so I'm going to have to type that section up and see what Google Translate can do with it. And maybe do some extra searching if it turns out Google Translate mangles some of the translation, especially slang, as I've seen it do before. And as I saw it do last night when I noticed Barry had written about his first impressions of Golden Earring (this was before he was invited to join the band) a page or two after he mentioned the Tielman Brothers, and the first few sentences of that section I tried ran into some translation obstacles. (I wish Barry's book, and a book George Kooymans did about his music and songwriting, had also been published in English, not just in Dutch.)

I added a two-hour concert Andy Tielman gave in 2004 to that thread in the Lounge. What I've heard of it so far sounds fantastic.
