The reason I heard Hylton Valentine (lead guitar, behind Eric) was laughing was because off camera, studio technicians were secretly wheeling Alan Price (organ), seated on his little dais and still playing, to the front of the set for that final shot where they take their bow. Hylton started cracking up at this little bit of absurdity, and since there was no time (or money?) for another take, the laughter had to stay in! 😀

I was 16 when the "British invasion" of music swept all over the world, led by The Beatles. That was a magical time. The Animals were an integral element of that wave. I played their "Best of" album over and over and over. "The House of the Rising Sun" was their first hit single in 1964. It's a gas to see the young generation, as these two reactioners, rediscover the music that was a big part of my teenage and early adult years. Eric Burdon was in the Animals, War and also had a solo career.

They chose this song to close their set as support for Chuck Berry on his uk tour. They recorded it nine days later in one take & it went straight to number one around the world. The vocalist's name is Eric Burdon & Alan Price, who went on to have a successful solo career, is playing his Vox Continental keyboard. The bass player is Chas Chandler who was responsible for introducing Berry to the uk.

This song is a Legend. The song tells of hard times for a family in New Orleans. The best version ever recorded is by the British Rock Band "The Animals" in 1964. I was 14 years old in the U.S. and will never forget this song. Their recording hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart and in the United States and Canada. It is still great today.

It’s a great version, but the song is way older than the New Orleans version, this is an old folk song from south west England, same theme tho, about the temptation of the devil.

@@iamthecaptainofmysoul2293 Yes, I was aware of that. The song goes back to at least 1923 in the United States recorded by a number of musicians from the 1920s ,1930s, 1940s, 1950s and finally the Animals in 1960s and can also be traced back to England with different lyrics and title. The first group that I could find that used the current title with the current lyrics, and rocked it up by using electronic guitars and an electronic organ during the performance, was the Animals. Prior to them, it was an acoustic folk song with different titles and different lyrics.

It’s great when all the elements of a song mesh together so perfectly that it becomes unassailable. There are other versions of this song but everything here puts it above them. The constant steady drumbeat as a base, the bass as a heartbeat , the guitar melody as a familiar friend and the organ giving this version its distinctive style. Eric Burdon’s voice is what cemented it in people’s soul.

The original song House of The Rising Sun, pre-dates the city of New Orleans. Fact. No rehearsal before this take from Eric Burton and The Animals. I've heard several different stories, for reasons of their own, they had enough money for one take in front of the camera... this performance. This was back when vocal and instrumental talent was actually all you heard. I listened to The Animals quite a lot in the '60s. This is one of the songs you never forget, nor do you forget the lyrics. Evens decades later.

"she sewed my new blue jeans". Bet you can't guess what that means. So, I'll tell you. Back in the late 50s early 60s, blue jeans or dungarees were overly-long in the legs. It was the style back then to wear them with cuffs at the bottom which had to be sewn to stay rolled up. It had to be done well or it looked bad.
