If that's true than its amazing

The Beatles recorded Long Tall Sally in one take...

You learn summit new every day ! 👌👌

Chris Stapleton and Justin timber lake ,say something done in take lol .... worth a look tho!

@@amb2745 The Beatles never did anything this great.

I was 6! Heard it almost 24/7, had an older brother! :) We had record players back then! lol! I learned, records can break!

The greatest .... ..!

This version the song is but the song itself is over 100 years old. There are versions over 400 years old.

@@snafufubar Sorry. I was not referring to the age of the song, which after all is irrelevant, but rather to the age of the recording and the quality of the performance. I misspoke.

@@snafufubar 400?

Absolutely! Not shading EB but that keyboard is friggin killer!

Omg yes the keyboard is absolutely amazing!!!

Alan Price is an underracted musician

I don't agree. One of my sister's favorite songs and when I learned to play it on guitar, she said "That's great, but it's not the same without the keyboard" 😄

Yes, but the way he ripped off the rest of the band by copyrighting it in his name never sits well with me or the band.

I thought it was Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees

@@albertmurillo7522 nope, definitely Chas Chandler. Jimi Hendrix was actually bigger in England than he was in America, at least early on.

And what an incredible find for the music industry.

Dude! For real?

@@sebastianaguirrecortes9492 for real.

I absolutely love him singing "Spill The Wine" with the group WAR

yes he is

Fact. Eric sung lead on the group War's track hit. Spill the Wine. I saw him and thought. That would be Eric. I had no idea. Saw it in his reaction video to War.

@@karenscales5077 I am 60 years old, grew up listening to War, and had no idea that was the same voice on this song which I remember also. That's the beauty of these reactions! Love it!

Tobacco Road, one of the greatest blues songs ever...

Great call!

It takes courage -- or hubris -- to even try.

Not so much a cover as a rendition. It's a traditional song. I suppose you could cover their rendition though. I really like Lauren O'Connell's dark, dirty version, sung the more original female lyrics.

Not even!

agree! absolutely stunning!

My late mother in law, who faithfully sang in choirs, and loved and did it well.. would get a few beers in her.. whooo! This was her go to song, and she didnt hold back.. and was great!

Amen! And im an atheist...

Fun fact, its belived this song goes all the way back to church hymns

No, they are real!

Yeah Bee hah that made me laugh way more than i should have.

Wow I didnt know he was that small.

axiomist and he was only 16

He's a little taller than that, but yes, Eric Burdon is not a big guy at all.

Haha so much false info in one comment thread

Eric is 5’ 7” it’s the bass guitarist Chas Chandler (died 1996) who was 6’ 4” that made the heights look mad

The Doors are almost a tribute band. Literally almost everything (keyboard, vocals, rhythm, melody, etc) we’re adopted by the Doors. They built their own identity but the similitude is uncanny.

Robbie’s daughter?

Yes, I Agree ! My Grandparents Were Friends With Robby Kriegers' Parents ! I I Would Occassionally Ask My Grandmother to Ask Mrs. Krieger Certain Questions In Relation to The Doors, Mainly in Regard to Her Son Robbie, The Guitarist, and She Would Tell My Grandmother, After Talking to Robbie ! I Always Thought That Was Very Cool ! Have a Great Night/Day.

Yah, I agree!

HELL YEAH !!!

True

You watch that video and from the looks he gives the camera you just KNOW when Eric Burdon was in school he smoked behind the bike sheds and could have any girl he wanted.

The story I liked was that around the time when the Animals were starting out, old-time touring American bluesmen didn't bother bringing bands with them - that was expensive - so they'd hire local bands who knew their standards. So the Animals got a few jobs that way, and at least one of the bluesmen said "You have to watch yourself with those guys - if you aren't on top of your game, they'll look like the stars..."

I see hilton every day he is still going strong what legends

I've said for years that he sounded like someone that had been born with the voice if a 50 year old singer, in a good way.

1 - 29 - 21 R.I.P Hilton Valentine at 77 years

I always get goosebumps

The keyboardist definitely played a large role in this though

They are ahead of their time. Eric Burdon is still singing. He’s almost 80.

1 - 29 - 21 R.I.P Hilton Valentine at 77 years

Ive just been able to listen to this song again. It was one of my fathers favourites, and we played it at his funeral. That was 7 years ago.. I still love the song.. it’s just hard to listen to it now.

👍🏾

Eric Burdon could get gritty.

That was all the record labels doing...the Beatles were the Silver Beatles first, and rocked leather jackets and James Dean style hair, then they all were made to get those awful haircuts etc...same with the Animals....still happens today

@@BeverlyM52 "Hold on....I'm coming." drove the girls wild!

@@davidhoward2487 Anything he sang...;)

Even though this song is very popular, I would have to agree. This band's whole catalogue was heavy. Some ones off the top of my head that everyone should hear at least once are "Black Plague" (very relevant) and "When I Was Young"

They are wayyyyyyyyy better then The Beatles ever thought of being

Underrated?? That's pure legend.

It's hard to say, so many good bands from that Era

WOW!!

Before he took Hendrix to London, Chandler put him up in his home city Newcastle. Hendrix spent some time busking in Newcastle and stayed at Chandler’s home in the Heaton area of the city (which is where I’m from). At the same time Hendrix was in Heaton, a mile away in the neighbouring district of Byker, a young body builder from Austria called Arnold Schwarzenegger was training in a gym run by a trainer he had befriended in European competitions.

Because Jimi was getting nowhere in the USA ( guess why....)

1 - 29 - 21 R.I.P Hilton Valentine at 77

We just reminded you what you already had

And Eric Burdon is the most impressive part of said invasion.

I was 9 years old and I still love this song so much

I was 9 at the time, joye, I still get goosebumps.

6

I'm 66 and loved it as soon as I heard it,still do.my parents thought the devil was in me.☠️👹

I was 8, am 30 now. thanks pop.

Damn rip 😌😢

Damn, did not know he died , sad

Did not know that! R.I.P. Hilton!

True

To develop song writing and performance skills like that at such a young age is quite amazing. His voice is great, but damn, the organist plays like he invented the instrument. In the dictionary, under Tight, there is a video of The Animals playing House of the Rising Sun. 200 years time, this will still be a stone cold classic.

That's because they told a story and put heart and soul into their music

US version cut back by the record company. At least for radio play use.

@@scabthecat also, the song was adapted from a tune that was a prostitute's lament, written back in the late 1800s. There is no real credit for the original. No one knows who wrote it.

@@adotintheshark4848 That sounds so right. I was 8 or 9 when this came out, but understood the dark, sad lines. Still can't figure out HOW.

The Dark Market oh my, yes, indeed.

I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good,

Kelly Hudson Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood....

Now you’re talking! Awesome song.

Absolutely! ❤️👍

👍🏾

@@jamelakajamal I was about to say the same one.

Sky Pilot as well.

Please don't let me be misunderstood is one of my all time favourites 😉

Jamel_AKA_Jamal these guys tell you no lie

Yes the song really builds to that.

So True

Major influence on Springsteen, according to Bruce himself.

I never knew he looked 14 and 5'4"! What a power house voice!

Lisa...One time at one of their shows, Eric lost power to his mic. Supposedly, he belted through The House of the Rising Sun without it and few people were none the wiser... 😳😲😮

@@bonscotty67 I can believe it! I knew the songs, heard them when I was really young, but had a late awakening to some groups from that era. My parents didn't play the Beatles when I was growing up and hardly any music from the 60's that I now love. I'm just now figuring out who sang these Animals' songs, Eric Burton and just fell in love with his voice a few days ago!! Wow, a sexy voice, something I can appreciate now! 😁😉

Lisa Noelle... I was fortunate or unfortunate to be the youngest of seven. Five older sisters would play all the music we call Classic Rock now. As a vocalist in various cover bands throughout my life, I latched onto Eric Burdon as an influence early on. One of the bluesiest white English men I've ever known LOL

@@bonscotty67 He really is! I was just thinking that when I started looking into him. I'm just now being able to appreciate the blues. You don't except him to be him to be a white English dude. Are you in the States? What covers do you guys usually do?

Hmm that is hard. I have lots of favorites. There version of Boom Boom is great...used in the climax of 'Skyfall'...I also love We Gotta Get out of this Place' and 'It's My Life' ...but I really love some of the bluesy album tracks and a particularly stunning version of 'Hit the Road Jack'. I basically like all the ones that showcase the amazig Burdon vocals to the max.

Cough cough MGK cough cough

Amen my brother!

There's tons of rock bands kickin out great stuff, just everyone is to busy bitching about pop music to look for it.

Original and hardcore....with Eric Bourdon on lead vocals its the best

I think you are listening to the wrong rock

British Blues took the Black Man's Blues and gave it back to the Americans and thank you. I mean that. When and where I grew up I wasn't allowed to listen to Black Folks' music. I had to do it on the sly. But I could pay all the white boy music I wanted. Thanks to you, British people, for not being like white southerners I grew up with so many years ago.

@@suzieqorange Cheating the system, nice

Perfected by Mark Knopfler if I may be so bold...my 2 pence.

@@suzieqorange You're welcome! The blues were really big in Britain in the 60s when I was in my early teens. Met lots of big names - Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Jeff Beck, John Mayall, Georgie Fame - at our local blues club when we were still too young to go to the show, but waited outside to see our heroes. This was a bit before groupies - it was all very innocent! When the real old black Bluesmen from the US got invited to tour in the UK, they were treated like kings. All these British Blues artists looked up to them, as did the audiences. To us, they were the epitomy of cool!

@@papercup2517 I'm British, got into the British Blues Boom™ in my early teens because I didn't like the pop music being aimed at me ..in the early 80's ! My interest in guitar playing & backtracking these guys' musical influences took me in turn, into a superb , rich & vast array of purely American music ,a fascinating series of musical twists & turns in Blues , Ragtime , Jazz , R&B , Soul... At 51 , I'm still a big Blues fan , wether it's The Yardbirds or Mississippi John Hurt , Mike Bloomfield or Howlin Wolf , Jimi Hendrix or RL Burnside ...there's just so much good music out there to keep me occupied til I croak lol 😊👌

That's my fav of the Animals..love this group....

Don't forget Sky Pilot

House of the Rising Sun was played in Vietnam a lot. Usually accompanied by strippers. Very erotic.

A clever talented man ❤

That song was the very first song i learned, im glad to hear that other musicians enjoy it

🙏🏻☝🏻

the only song I ever played, hope my children feel the same when....

@chris lopez feel the same way lost my dad too of heart disease he died at 53 on memorial day I know how it feels to lose that person you love most rest in peace dont worry hes always looking down in heaven

at a time when Rock n Roll was experimenting with sounds, lyrics and instruments 60s was truly a Renaissance for music

And it a melodic form Amazing Grace!

They would need a hair cut first. That was long hair for the time.

take us to chuch indeed. Especially since the house of the rising sun is a whore house, and originally writted/performed from a woman's point of view.

@@cherrylattimore99 Not quite. I have a habit of double-checking when I have a "Really? That's cool. :)" reaction and, according to Wikipedia: "There is a common perception that prior to The Animals the song was about and from the perspective of a woman. This is incorrect, as the narrative of the lyrics has been continually whipped back and forth from a female to a male cautionary tale. The earliest known printed version from Gordon's column is about a woman's warning. The earliest known recording of the song by Ashley is about a rounder, a male character." Also according to Wikipedia, it's a true folk song in that we don't know for sure where it came from... though what evidence we do have suggests that it developed in Europe and then was changed to refer to New Orleans later. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun

Hit the nail on the head!!!

Pretty sure there was a lot of shit back then but it desapeared because they couldn't just keep it due to technological issues. And today we take everything without taking out the trash. That's my take.

You said it .we may have f/end it up but we got the music right

Classic

I thought it was over saturated but yes. I like today’s music but nothing. And I mean NOTHING comes close to the music of back then!

Eric Burdon is a confirmed "real one" for sure

True i was 9 ,im so lockey i was born in the late 1950,s so i grow up with all this groups and all the great music in the 60,s

Black US artists were respected and admired in the UK. They toured there, were welcomed there and their songs were played on the radio. They became more influential on the UK music scene, than on the US music scene, during that time. As for Bob Marley, he was huge in the UK. He had more success there, than anywhere else outside of Jamaica. Don't assume that every country is exactly the same as the US...

@Atheos B. Sapien It was indeed. I felt I had to defend Britain, and to an extent Europe.

@Atheos B. Sapien No, it was what I wrote. Many British bands started as cover bands and always gave credit. Artists like Pat Boone is an American thing. You didn't have to whitewash music in Britain.

@@Codex7777 Thank God!

Ditto!

100% agree but now we have mumble rap and Miley Cryus and about 90% can't sing live.

You know I don't think it's just the song. I think it's this performance which is .... perfect.

Yep, sitting here shedding tears...absolutely love Alan Price on the keyboards.

John Fuentes Can you please list them just in case we are missing a couple. 😉

saw Eric Burdon in 1968 when he was with War. One of the best concerts I went to. He had 3 members of the Steve Miller band Jam with them that nite what a nite that was.

Alan Price wrote the soundtrack for the Malcolm McDowell film Lucky Man! and his band and their performances were written into the movie. A 60s must see!

snap

It still sounds fresh

Must agree!

Have you heard Eric's version of The factory Girl.....another folk song....wheich he recorded around that time? It is on KZfaq and it is real goosebump inducing.

Yeah youth is definitely best time to be young !!!!

@StrangeArrangements me too. Saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan when I was 7, and the 60's opened up around us while I grew up. Definitely a golden age.

Yep, we had the best music!

It was indeed!❤💃🇺🇸

We love our music.

@@lenaanne9778 We love shit, and that comes out in our music!

It rains, snows, and the weather is generally crap. So we sit indoors and learn, play and wrap our minds around music.

@@1220b Just imagine what we'll come up with during the coronavirus lockdown!

Think about the music from India, listen to Ravi Shankar, one thing to consider there are a lot of neurologically diverse people in the UK, a lot of artists have this neurology, it includes schizophrenics, bipolar disorder, people with downs syndrome,Asperger's syndrome , personality disorders, clinical depression, it's very very common with people who have this neurology to express theirself this way, the UK has the second highest recorded population of people with autism after Japan, autism can be very very mild.

Good description of the effect of a good "Story-Song". :-)

Didn't really know I liked blues until then

Jason so true I was a 8 years old girl when this song came, i dont understand english back then but my world turnds upside down when I heard this song for the first time. Erics voice made me understand at this song hade so much sorrows, me tears came in flods and it was as I was blown a way over and over . I dont understand what happends to me ,deep down in me i fellt so much pain, but I fell in love whit this song and it is still my favorit song and Eric my favorit singer im 65 years old now. I still got goesbumps all over when I hear this masterpice , yes The original Animals was my favorit group , and I still love them.

Thank God he went to England!!!

Not so sure about that.. The 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s, had quite a few black musicians and entertainers appreciated by white folks. I have names like Lionel Hampton, Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots, Nat King Cole, (listened to him on AM radio, when I was a kid).. later The Temptations, Quincy Jones, on and on.. That's just a handful I have in my collection of 78s, 45s, 8-track, cassettes, CDs and mp3s and 4s. Like rainbows, the music world is far better with a lot of colors. Old white dude, from the South. 😎
