Music Video of the Day: Wild and Exciting by Earth and Fire (1970, directed by ????)

Posted on by Jedadiah Leland

There’s not much to say about this video for Wild and Exciting.  Earth and Fire were a Dutch band and this song is off of their first album, which was also called Earth and Fire.  As was typical at the time, their music video was a performance clip, though one that was more energetic than the typical 1970s music video.

Earth and Fire never hit it in big in the US or the UK but they were huge in the rest of Europe.  Consider this, then, to be a reminder that good music is not simple defined by what’s happening or what’s popular in only one or two countries,

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Maybe Tomorrow Maybe Tonight by Earth and Fire (1973, directed by ????)

For today’s music video of the day, we have another song from the Dutch progressive band, Earth and Fire. I wrote a little about the history of Earth and Fire yesterday.

This is off of their third album, Atlantis.  From what I can tell, Maybe Tomorrow Maybe Tonight was the only single released off of Atlantis.  It was a hit for the band, breaking into the top ten in both their native Netherlands and in Belgium.  It only reached the 44th position in the German charts.  Who knows why.

This video, like the majority of the music videos from the 70s, is a performance clip.  Apparently, it was originally filmed for a Dutch television show.

Enjoy!
