Founded in 1961 by George Kooymans and Rinus Gerritsen, Dutch rock band Golden Earring (or Golden Earrings, until 1969) started off as a beat-band, experimented as a psychedelic quartet and finally became a heavy rock group. Their ninth album Moontan (1973) hit the international album charts and is the band's most successful album in the United States, being the only Golden Earring album to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
Back Home - The Complete Leiden 1984 Concert is a new live album by Golden Earring - also released simultaneously on streaming audio and hi-res audio channels - and features archival recordings of their legendary sold-out show at the Groenoordhallen in Leiden on 23 June 1984.
An abbreviated version of this show was originally released in late 1984 on the album Something Heavy Going Down, but the complete recordings were never made available in digital format. Until now!
This double cd also contains all four released versions of the Something Heavy Going Down single, taken from the original 2-track Soundpush master tapes and including three mixes by renowned Dutch DJ and remixer Ben Liebrand. These remixes appear on digital format for the first time and fill up some gaps in both Golden Earring’s as Ben Liebrand’s discography.
In addition, the DVD features the long-awaited restored version of the Live From The Twilight Zone film as shot by director Dick Maas on the same night in Leiden. Fully restored and scanned from the original 16mm negative, including remastered audio. The music videos for N.E.W.S., Something Heavy Going Down and Quiet Eyes (directed by Anton Corbijn) are added as a bonus.
All tracks have been 24 bit/96 kHz remastered from the original master tapes.
Back Home - The Complete Leiden 1984 Concert was previously released as a limited one-off yellow coloured vinyl edition on Record Store Day 2023.
As with the previously released remastered & expanded editions of classic Golden Earring albums, Back Home - The Complete Leiden 1984 Concert is overseen by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels.
