Earth and Fire - Storm and Thunder

[dinkeldal]

heimwee naar de mellotron sound van E&F

[hammar63]

Die o zo mooie mellotron!

[chaizg1956]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­ !!!! Orgasme in my ears !!!

[ronaldvanderkleij]

earth and fire and genesis is like Barcelona and VV Veendam

[dinkeldal]

@ronaldvanderkleij in de zeventiger jaren was het vanzelfsprekend dat Genesis in het voorprogramma van Earth&Fire speelden, E.A was een briljante geniale progrockband en zoals je weet waren ze life niet te evenaren...memories...

[UncleNico1]

I can't help but thinkin' about the Peter Gabriel connection when still playing with Genesis. The Musical Box comes to mind. All the early Earth & Fire is clearly influenced by this period of Genesis.

[furakkueroru]

Only the proggy bit at the end sounds dated!

[Petroloog]

mm

[Petroloog]

mmmmmmmm

[killforfiend]

Wow! a marking in the origins of Gothic Rock!

[TheBoondoggler]

This is the best thing I've seen and/or heard in ages. Bravo!

[robertvanes]

Echt een super nr, en wat was die jerney vroeger een lekker ding joh, mmmmm

[shabrida123]

wow

brings back memories

Earth and Fire - Thanks for the love (1975)

[flevosap666]

fokkin goed! jezus..... ik ben helemmal uit mn plaat dit is echt de bom!

[labora4best]

Introspective song.

Nowadays some people go to see REIKI -Healers... and other shit.

Ach!

[RYRYYY1]

cheers plan b united nations!

[furakkueroru]

She looks like a Goth and them like Viking Metallers from 1971!

[basmikiemike]

Koerts Koerts en nog eens Koerts............zo goed die mannen!!!!1

[TheSterbloemjolanda]

geweldige stem, kippevel

[PAULLONDEN]

World class ,and that from Holland,this band could've matched itsef with all great prog bands ,like Yes ,,Floyd etc.

[goeselman]

geweldig ook nog live gespeeld top

[pjoter1968]

Schiiterned nummer jammer van dat irritante ding in beeld van new better version.

[planespotter61]

Goeie plaat, maar wel een rip-off van Pink Floyd's 'Saucerful of Secrets"...

[70sbiker]

one of the all time greats

[jimimurti]

amazingly beautiful...Jerney

[azforeever1]

wat een wijf wat een muziek

[thankGodforDavidG]

brilliant voice of Jerney Kaagman makes this song one of best Earth and Fire creations !

[dinkeldal]

dat de tijd door gaat naar het luisteren van deze briljant!!

[JannesHuizing]

Heb je dan ook nog even Focus geluisterd met Hocus Pocus???? Als je deze song hebt gehad en dan nog even Earth and Fire met Memories of Storm and Thunder dan is je dag weer goed!

[richardlog]

Ha, ik heb het precies zo! Maar dan ook nog even Love of Live van Earth and Fire!

[craftwerkman]

Wat een wonderlijk (natuurlijk) mooie vrouw was dat toch!

[1702sherwood]

Really great ! Killer sounds ! The final section with marvellous M-400 work is'nt on the album. Thanks a lot for sharing this little gem !

[mopedman60]

Wow, wat een nummer was dat ook weer !!!!

[dagobert50]

romantisch !

[elvira2262]

thanks, great

[teet555]

als we het toch over de band hebben

super te gek in een woord prachtig wie was vroeger er niet verliefd op jerney

ik wel dus re gek nog steeds 5 ***** bedankt

[Uitsmijter13]

The beginning really sounds like an approaching thunderstorm.. so ominous and dramatic. Together with Memories I think these are the greatest songs of Earh and Fire.

[tellyisrubbish]

'Song of the Marching Children' is a superb album - extremely cathartic for those of a more melancholic disposition.

[borgduck]

Telly is NOT rubbish!

[velskari]

i have just recently heard this superb band.

I love all the rock and progressive giants, but this small curiosity band has few pieces that are my all time favourites. This is maybe their best song. Brilliant.

[borgduck]

Then you're in for a treat, my friend!

[burns32]

damn this is like portishead

[furakkueroru]

And Nightwish!

[TawmDee]

3:02 - 'hit clip' flashes on the screen.. what's that about?

cool song though

[sambda]

Yeah, that wasn't on the tape, but ended up in the file I grabbed of the clip. Couldn't be bothered to go back and start all again as I had disconnected the VCR by then.

[plexihout]

Tekeningen op de achtergrond komen van de binnenkant hoes LP- Song of the marching children.

[MoRulez]

Ik heb heel lang naar dit nummer gezocht. Fijn dat ik het nu weer kan beluisteren!

[henkah]

"Grand mother" of the dutch prog rock and the later Gothic scene

[SjoerdDekker]

and Roisin Mrphy van Moloko

[dinkeldal]

made in holland

[LFORSK]

really cool ending

[mobyboy]

perfect prog that almost relate to goth !

[dibbeke]

This was our dutch music scene at its best, although it's way before my time, this music was certainly ahead of its time.

Recently I was at the recording studio where most of this music was recorded. Unbelievable, but the vibe still is in the air there. The rhodes and hammond are both still working, but in awful condition.

[zosinternational]

great song i was 11 yrs old now 48

[basmikiemike]

buiging!!!!!

[dinkeldal]

schitterend !!

[dinkeldal]

de beste progrock uit europa

[Mariekesone]

These were the years....Great Dutch vocalist....and Band...

Go Jerney...:-)

[lekezenman]

Sorry for Sigur Ros, and I do like them, but "ambient sounds" and running naked over the highway is not a signa las strong - maybe as much freedom-giving anno 2009 to the youngsters that make the future anyway and let NOBODY TRY try to MIS-TURN that yeah!!!- than hard work from Earth and Fire!

Bernard Belgium

[sambda]

Keep taking the pills!

[retsiembrU]

Epic!

10/10

[samiegfunk1]

its every one at their prime. especially J.

i like this live audio version better than the album audio version.

[iMusicale]

one of my favorite dutch prog band. it's the best.

[thankGodforDavidG]

yeah 3:00 YU Go Girl !!!

[thankGodforDavidG]

[vinnn066]

kippenvel !!!! Na al die jaren,ben nu 50 was toen 12. Sambda bedankt voor posting!

[johnlivia6061]

Ja, 't gaat hard, niet?

Ik was toen ook 12, nu 49.

Ben blij de goede muziek- en leefjaren bewust meegemaakt te hebben.

[sambda]

Glad you like it folks. Stick &fmt=18 on the end of the URL (at the top of your browser) and you'll get it in much better picture and audio quality.

[teet555]

ben het met je eens nu komt er alleen pulp uit op wat uitzonderingen na dit is top muziek groeten

[teet555]

nog steeds te gek jerny i stil love you

wat was het een lekkere meid of niet dan wie was er in die tijd niet verlieft op haar poster boven je bed hell yes i love here

[jtb1976]

This is a quality Dutch band. Why they never made it in the UK is beyond me. Listen to The Song Of The Marching Children album. If you love prog you must buy it! Plus Jerney is one sexy laydee!!

[thankGodforDavidG]

totaly agree with that, they sure got my attention, and yes, Jerney looks and sounds greeeeeeeeeeat !

[borgduck]

BLOODY HELL!!! I WANT THE GODS TO STRIKE ME DOWN TO PRESERVE THIS MOMENT!!!

It's like King Crimson with a female vocalist & they have the nerve to declare FOCUS as Hollands Prog Rock band. Forget England & Germany!!

[odinvonzero]

First time I've heard of this band, and I'm impressed!

[STUIF9]

Ambachtelijke rock, zoals het bedoeld

is!!EEN CLASSIC UIT DE JAREN 70..

BRENGT ME TERUG IN DE TIJD TOEN

POPMUZIEK NOG EEN BELEVENIS WAS OM NAAR TE LUISTEREN!!

[Geenflauwekul]

I love the sound of mellotrons.

[mantsamik]

wat een gitarist

[chaizg1956]

Perfect voice, perfect figur, wow!!!!!!!!!

[snamyook73]

Great song , great singer... very cool sound!

[progjazzfusion]

Simply amazing...the passion of the early 70's music never ceases to amaze me.

[levensregt]

Super dat hier nog een VHSje van was.

[jolandasterbloem]

GREAT

[furakkueroru]

This song is so Beautiful, she should be included in Female Vocal Goddess!

[StopMotionRabbit]

God, what a voice!!! I'm jealous.

[gartentischtiger]

dat swatte pakje ...met diese unbeschreiblich schöne Nase !

[cuzanq]

was dat in je polsen snijden toen al in?

[tarquesh]

LSD daar klinkt het naar. Lijkt wel Finse black metal.

[kittydeveer]

the mellotron rockks

[cleanecj]

these r great. im glad i know about em.

[Roosjuh17]

hier keek ze ook al zo blij

[ludo281160]

Early symphonic rock (1971)...That was really the time to do it! Holland was then as inventive as the UK and USA...Very special and amazing!

Thanks very much for Jerney (voice) and the brothers Koerts for making all these genious music (singles + albums), certainly throughout the first half of the 70*ies!! Great great memories(!);-) It stills gives me the creeps...Thanks samda for sharing.

[BoucherPhil]

after much perusing I nominate Jerney as the number one female wearer of the cat suit,

possibly Alice Cooper being the number one male

[sambda]

You ain't seen the early Suzi Quatro!

[BoucherPhil]

Jerney has great presence here. Just love that suit.

Thanks for posting a top tune

[mostlyautumn]

It is so cool when Jerney just stands and watches them jam just as Peter Gabriel did with Genesis back around this time.

[furakkueroru]

This is definitely Gothic Metal! Look at Jerney, she looks like an early 70's Goth! And the musicians look like Viking Metallers! Hail Earth & Fire!

[missd1985]

Maybe that's why this song has always been my favorite of Earth & Fire ;)

Damn, Jerney has changed a lot during the years... Not in a good way :P

[bolderiks]

Have you ever seen someone looking better after 35 years then ? Good taste about the music though.

[johnlivia6061]

I do look better since i've passed 35.

I'm almost 49 now and getting more handsome every day.

[bolderiks]

You do ?

Then you must be one of the actors in Una giornata particolare ;)

[johnlivia6061]

wish I was!

just kidding, ask my wife if i'm better now. or better, people who didn't see me long time.

[sunnsight]

@johnlivia6061  Can i have your secret???

[FOKKEMA62]

She WAS gourgeos.

[okkith64]

Difficult word for an immigrant..

[FOKKEMA62]

What do you mean?

[okkith64]

Good question. Don't understand it too.

[johnlivia6061]

i think he means that you wrote gourgeos instead of gorgeous.

[FOKKEMA62]

And he actually took the time to let me know about a spelling error? I'll make sure it NEVER happens again.

Thanks.

[johnlivia6061]

some people have too much time.

jobless people, rich kids, you name it.

[fvandijk]

a perfect strike from holland 70-ties. History tries to come in between now.

[mostlyautumn]

Incredible song. Haunting and drenched in String Mellotron.

[furakkueroru]

Look they are headbanging '72 style!

[mostlyautumn]

70's Prog rock is more like it.

[BoucherPhil]

love that mellotron, am a big fan of king crimson/fripp

[BadPsyTron]

Ja waanzinnige versie, alhoewel het origineel veel langer is. Thanks for sharing sambda.

Waanzinnige plaat g*dverdomme!

[sambda]

True. This clip starts about 2 mins into the song. The advantage is that you get a unique ending to the song - the version on the record just fades out.

[jacobolthof]

Anno 2008; nu 10 october, luister en kijk ik er voor de zesde opeenvolgende keer naar 'en boucle'.

[jacobolthof]

Anno 2008; nu 10 october, luister en kijk ik er voor de zesde opeenvolgende keer naar 'en boucle'.

[mellotrongirl]

The Mellotron M-400 always is played live with the lid off...smart idea if the tapes get sticky! Wow! What a song! How can anyone be without Song Of The Marching Children or Atlantis?!!

[loekie64]

Great stuff with special thanx to the Koerts bros... Indeed the famous M-400 + a great deal of Hammond. Chicken-skin stuff...

[hdev57]

Goeie versie zeg!

[henkah]

Overigens vind ik Jerney wel Gothic gekleed met dat zwarte pakje aan :)

[henkah]

Een van de betere nummers. Beter dan het latere disco-gedoe. En Jerney? Zij is en blijft een geweldige zangeres en een leuke meid!

[blauwmarc]

samen met memories het mooiste nummer van E&F. Man, wat was Jerney een lekker ding toen!!

[Clipyclip]

Jerney is sweeeet....

[furakkueroru]

When I was 10 I was fan of Shocking Blue, I didnt know this band existed!

[furakkueroru]

I LOVE it,it is heavy gothic metal from 1972!

[Assiman]

it's not gothic, fag.

[henkah]

It is symphonic rock, no gothic.

[Assiman]

it's proge

[henkah]

Symphonische Rock is prog!

[furakkueroru]

Symphonis Rock is Gothic (Nightwish, Within Temptation, After Forever etc)

[furakkueroru]

Is this the first Gothic Metal song? This sounds like Nightwish.

[Assiman]

you have wax in your ears and dick in your ass

[furakkueroru]

You are the Ass man!

Seems this band is better than their fans!

[dikkesappe]

Het is een geweldig nummer, maar deze video zwabbert te veel (loopt niet op een constante snelheid)waardoor het geheel vals klinkt, jammer. Ik hoop dat er nog een betere, zuivere geluidsband van te vinden is.

[ARJEN508]

Volgens mij is de studio-opname over een live-optreden gemonteerd. Nog wel knap gedaan eigenlijk...

[Sanvean0]

Thank U,it's my favorite of Earth and Fire.

[dprescottnoel]

I've had this album for years in bootleg. Criminal that they weren't more appreciated. This live version is even better! Whoever posted this, thank you!!! Anyone know where to get this on DVD?

[xannakis]

Amazon has their greatest hits dvd available.

This song is on it. Although I don't (yet)

if it is this particular video.

[xannakis]

This version is on the 'Greatest hits'- dvd. Plus another live-version. The dvd IS still

available, and well worth buying!

[sambda]

The version on the DVD has criminally be re-dubbed with the record version! This one here is the original live vocals.

[xannakis]

Sambda, you're right. I've checked it out. On 'your' version, here, you can clearly hear Jerney yell in the background at exactly 02:59. On the studio-version you can't hear it.

So, thanks for posting this.

[skirmish703]

The first part is very suspenseful!

[Fudgeo1]

"No clip" what was the Image around 3:01....

[sambda]

Dunno. That wasn't on the tape I was grabbing from, but ended up in the finished video file. Couldn't be bothered to go back and do it again just for that.

[peermichels]

Awesome sound!!!! With this song I almost would like to call them The Dutch Pink Floyd. The whole song matches completely. Well done.

Cheers

[olarcial]

Awsome sound, so misterious and psichadelic. And Jerney so young then. She sounds so different when she sings weekend.

[sambda]

Yes. Sadly, Earth and Fire only had a brief period of turning out this interesting kind of stuff, before they went sort of "disco funk" during the later Seventies and started to be called "Holland's Abba"!  Sadly this later career has tarnished their earlier reputation.

[djpeh]

'Short' still lasted from 1970 till 1975/76. So, not too short all 'n all. With four great experimental albums and eight more or less rock-psychedelic hitsingles. In the second half of the seventies most former alternative bands stopped to exist in the Netherlands or turned to commercial sounds, from disco to popular 'meezingers'. Times had changed clearly, as well as their public. It's easy to judge now, too easy. Though I agree it's sad it harmed the bands reputation up till today.

[erwin460]

Alle lof voor de gebroeders Koerts.

[ronvanderwoerd]

Awesome !!!

[hassebas55]

wat was dat een lekker wijf had haar poster boven mij bed hangen maar ja tijden veranderen

was en ben een groot fan van de band

hassebas

[Geenflauwekul]

Geweldig, inderdaad, Earth and Fire is één voorloper van de gothic rock.

[groundhog713]

Damn! Jerney was and is a hottie! Musically, they sound like King Crimson sitting in with Grace Slick....

[esang0312]

사랑하는 내 딸아...

우리가 헤어지는 날..

부디 울지말고..

이 아빠의 귓가에 이곡을 들려주렴..ㅡㅡ

[BadPsyTron]

Yep she was.., and that was a shocking Blauwtje voor haar LOL :P

[mobyboy]

Hypnotizing !

[furakkueroru]

She is a Goth! Its cos of W%F there are so many Dutch bands w/female vokills? Gathering After forever, Within Temptation, Epica, etc.

[Bram1978]

this is from the 70ties, log before goth now a days. Your remark doesnt match with time.

[furakkueroru]

Its just ahead of time!

[furakkueroru]

And she's wearing a Gothic dress and sings like Siouxsie from Banshees and the band sounds Gothic Metal except at the end where they sound proggy!

[Assiman]

fail. She doesn't sound like siouxsie at all. And this absolutely not gothic metal.

[valicourt]

In my country people would go crazy for her!(Kazachstan)

[haatwerken]

hoe lang is zij

[haatwerken]

hier was ze 25... best aangenaam...hahahaha

[haatwerken]

hier was ze 25... best aangenaam...hahahaha

[beatoffzen]

earth and fire is gewoon te gek!!!

jerney is gewoon super !!!

[outdemonsout]

there must be heaven!

[Anonymous1601]

Jeetje, kijk die haardracht. Echt de hippietijd. Zeker wel uit de jaren 70. Iedere keer als ik dit nummer hoor, waan ik mezelf weer in 1975. Toen hoorde ik dit nummer ook voor het eerst.

[TheoNo2]

oke en deze diva moet dus naast goor en zijn gechiechel zitten. ? Bloody shame.

[loverudon]

eerlijk is heerlijk jerney was gewoon een lekker ding

[Adriana3591]

OMG! THAT'S Jerney when she was younger?! All I knew here for was the idols judge who had a face lift, lol. Impressive, she used to be amazing, not so much now though...

[lieberman70]

Yes, a warning what "blowen" and getting older can do to your body.

She's a legend and for this we love her.

Mariska Veres was disabled.

[lizzyLAPDANCE]

great song.

[abelseeman]

Pity they cut the full introduction to this awesome and accurate themed song
