Great Live Album

"This is the latest live album, recorded in Leiden. It truly is an astonishing live album. having a nice metallic rawk in it. The songs are astonishingly well performed, especially in the 9 minute version of Radar Love, where lead guitar players George Kooymans lets his fingers roll all over his guitar. I must warn you that the songs have changed a little over the years, Radar love especially has a stepped up pace and is now more metallic. So is it for all the other songs, in a more or less manner ( Twilight zone is half as 'raw' as Radar Love is. don't think that the raw thing I'm talking about is bad. It gives most of the songs extra power and the pace that makes you wanna throw your foot down the gas pedal and live life the fast lane. and ofcourse there aren't only fast paced songs on this album, there are also beautiful ballads like 'going to the run' and 'whisper in a crowd.' That are performed really good with George Kooymans reaching musical notes that no man (male) ever thought of reaching. My conclusion and personal opinion is that this album is great, offering 150 minutes of listening pleasure, with an excellent play list ( at the end of the second cd you can feel Golden earring building up to an explosive finale ). The cd is explosive and indeed a blast to listen to."
It rocks!

"Last Blast is a great album, and a must have for Earring fans. Sadly, it's only available in the Netherlands (as is almost all of their stuff). Highlights include rocking versions of She Flies On Strange Wings, The Devil Made Me Do It, Whisper In A Crowd, Paradise In Distress, Legalize Telepathy, Burning Stuntman, and The Fighter. A slight complaint: Barry Hay's voice shows it's age on this album but it's understanable. After all, a 51 year old man giving it everything he had on stage for about two hours is pretty amirable. Overall a great album with only a couple of stinkers. They gave it their all, and if you're a fan, it deserves a listen no matter what the price. Check out that guitar playing at the end of Twilight Zone and during Radar Love, will you? Holy crap!"
Fantastic!

"It's me again, here to tell all of you out there That this is one (great) live album. The songs they play is more from the recent era. The band plays with very high energy and enthusiasm. Pretty darn good from a bunch of guys getting up there in age. A MUST for Earring fans, and suggested for all who love good classic hard rock n roll."
