Fun fact, this is a Bob Dylan song LOL

@@QuitYourCryin No, he just covered it

@@QuitYourCryin No, it was written by that great song-writing duo Trad & Anon. Dylan and the Animals just re-interpreted it.

Plus they brought there equipment on the train from newcastle to london, then the underground to the studios, cut the track, then straight back to newcastle

You can tell the guys on guitar are getting tired and cramping.

Oh, Vagas.

Thank you for breaking ur down for Brad!! I was going nuts like " someone explain this shit to him so he will understand!!" I didn't want to get into a whole thing,so thanks for saving me from having to!!😂😂😂

@@stephaniegeer1691 My thoughts exactly 🤣🤣🤣 !!! When I do it, I get long winded and usually, someone will attack me for having an opinion. Now, that wouldn't stop me from doing it, but it's nice, every now and then, if someone takes the hit FOR me 😁😊👍😎.

@@deadringer8050 No one knows for sure, but I think it's most likely a prison too. Old time residents have talked of a prison with a rising sun decoration on top of the gates and pointed out its exact location. And a prison is usually where you go to wear a ball and chain.

@@ptournas I've always thought of it as about a prison also, because they used to be called "houses" of correction,.

Thanks, best explanation of the song I have ever heard. Makes sense

Fantastic explanation!

The part about tell your children… That was always great

The worst thing was, his father did the same so it a cycle that repeats itself.

also he's telling the consequences of his poor choices, that he is headed to prison, "one foot on the platform the other foot on the train, I'm going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain"

Alan Price

@@steveaga4683 His name is little Alan Price 😀 ( Jarrow Song ) and an absolute legend 🙏

Alan Price soon killed the group through his deceitful greed.

Alan Price on his Vox Continental absolutey smashes it !

sure did

Don't forget Sky Pilot

Those are the exact same I was going to suggest

he looks like 16

@@TheThinkthin yeah I wouldn't have guessed older than 20

Eric has such an amazing rock/soul vocal range... Chills everytime I hear this song man

Brad & Lex, this group (Newcastle) was very heavily influenced by Black Rock & Roll, early R&B and Chicago Blues. Sam Cooke, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino, etc.

Reminds me of some happy days with family

Spill the Wine is a must!!

Yes! “Spill the wine” is one of the most badass songs ever written. 💕💕

@@bethking4005 yep

@@bethking4005 Also as"Tobacco Road"..

especially the live version of spill the wine

Actually it’s a Vox Continental organ, not a Hammond. But you’re right about what a great instrument the Hammond is.

Pretty sure you can get 'exactly' that as one choice on some modern and/or slightly old school keyboards. And yeah, a sound that really locks down an era every time you hear it.

The great Alan Price!and Chas Chandler on bass who became Jimi Hendrixi’s manager

@@stephenmartin2737yes it was

Was in the movie Hamburger Hill

Yes!

As a child I thought the lyrics were "spill the wine, take that girl" and I was like, where are they going in such a hurry? lol

He is the singer in War?

@@tylersimplot13 Yes, for their first 2 albums (in 1970), "Eric Burdon Declares War" and "The Black Man's Burdon." The song "Spill The Wine" was a huge hit.

Yasssss!

Look up Leadbelly 1930s

@@bobmclemore Yea, I love Nirvana's cover of 'Where did you sleep last night' and a bit of delta blues like Robert Johnson, Lightnin' Hopkins etc.

Spill the wine was the first thing that came to mind for me for the same kind of feeling

Yes! SPILL THE WINE!

Chas Chandler's Opening Bass line is fantastic too.

He also managed Slade who were massive in the UK in the 70s.

Chas also produced both.

Gave him a grubstake too and a place to crash before he was anybody .

the bass line in this son gis amazing, I didn't know he produced Hendrix

Dude is slow. He always stops the video when it’s so obvious that the song is about to pick up.

@@jackiepage6120 If you just want to listen to the music, go watch the official video. This is a reaction channel. You shouldn't be here if you don't want the music being paused.

@@KurNorock he means that sometimes he doesn't get the lyrics cause he keeps pausing. He should atleast pause at the right time. Or better just pull out the lyrics while listening to the song i dont understand why they have to guess the lyrics based on the vocalists sometimes its really hard to make out what they are saying

@@KurNorock you're slow if you didn't understand what Jackie was saying.

I missed some of the lyrics watching it. But what is thrilling is how easily he goes from a low register in his vocal range to hit those high full throated notes

Yes a gambling house and whorehouse...

I'm on Travelocity booking a stay now sounds like a great time

@@walterstanfield3662 masks (the leather kind) and “protection “ can be bought on site.

In the French version, Les Portes du Pénitencier, it's actually a prison. It was very popular here in Québec from the 70' to 90's.

@@walterstanfield3662 oh shit. Walter went there with that joke. Lol. Or maybe he’s actually going to go there. Either way I’m howling.

The earliest version I’ve heard is by leadbelly with his wife on vocals...it’s pretty fucking haunting

In the South You could by sheet music of African American street vendors back in the 20th century, often the songs contained lyrics about recent news events, see variation of songs about the titanic sinking. But also just about things happening around the in the local area. House of the Rising Sun was no doubt spread and sung round The south and how it ended up with Leadbelly, who sang a lot of heritage songs that dated back decades and decades. It’s an amazingly interesting area to read about!

@@bladant Well in fact, the song has roots all the way to Germany and Italy in the 1600s.

@@tomtomthebear I think Leadbelly got it from Woody Guthrie. They played together many times.

We did a mash up of this mixed with where did you sleep last night! They fit perfectly 👌👌👌

Alan Price on the Organ! My era again, in the Pub with my Geordie mates!

I think a hyperlink or something dropped out when you copy/pasted this.

The tall Bass Player at the back : Chas Chandler was The Manager of Jimi Hendrix after his playing days were no more...

I would like to bet that Eric smoked a lot.

@@Isleofskye and he had to duck to get under the scenery.

Saw them ' love them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Went to war in 67 with that sound in my head.....

He got that voice from yelling a lot no doubt.

Grew up in Reno NV it was called Mustang Bridge Ranch,, if you could get $10 and it up you were good to go

'We've gotta get outta this place'.

Same ❤

No you're dead wrong. I don't think Hendrix ever managed anyone. I don't think he had any interest.

@@TheRealBoroNut Chas Chandler became Hendrix's manager is what he is saying doh!!!

@@NicholasWarnertheFirst Wooosh!

Love it! My favorite is a girl named Sandoz

I grew up in that era too. That is one of their best songs, but my personal favorite is "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".

Had to find the misinformed boomer comment, auto tune has been used for 2+ decades to enhance vocals. Before that, they still tuned vocals all the time, it just wasn't automatic like the name "auto-tune" implies. You've probably listened to dozens and dozens of songs that have the vocals tampered with to improve the quality, essentially the same thing as autotune.

@@EtopiaCA sorry I'm not a boomer thank you though!

@@vampgrl79 Well I'm glad I could inform somebody of the mistake they're perpetuating by commenting on auto-tune while not understanding it.

@@EtopiaCA Actually Auto tune was invented in 1996 and wasn't used until. 1998. Please look it up! Speaking of you being misinformed! Millennial.

@@vampgrl79 I said that autotune has been used for two decades+, aka 20+ years, aka close to 1998. Then I proceeded to explain that vocals have been edited for many more decades, just not in an automated process like autotune. Please read carefully before responding to this.

It's a Bob Dylan cover. No surprise it was a quick session

@@ryanhighberg4662 The fact that it is a cover of a traditional song is irrelevant to how long it took them to record it. Bob Dylan was not the composer and Joan Baez and many others have covered this song. Its origins are disputed but the lyrics were apparently published in the 1920s.

well Chas managed Jimi, didn't discover him.

@@mitchellhartman6205 Didn't say discovered.

Everyone has something they have to atone for.

To my knowledge Bob Dylan did this on his first album a year earlier. Of course, the Leadbelly version predates these by several decades. And the song itself is older than that. This was at the dawn of the Sixties; they really started on November 22, 1963. It is impossible to overstate how much everything changed that horrible day.

The guy and girl on this channel isn't that bright

Si hsy talento no sirve la tecnologia

Love White Buffalo❤️

Oh yes. Bringing me back over here 🎵💃🎶

Just checked out this version and it was better than I expected. Good god though……what happened to this band? Their older sound was WAY better

That chord progression has an interesting history in itself. It was created by Dave Van Ronk, who was going to use the song on his first album, but he showed it to Bob Dylan, who used it on his first album and didn't tell Van Ronk until after it was recorded. Eric Burdon said he heard it from an English singer who was doing the Dylan version and the Animals' guitarist, Hilton Valentine, said he just copied the Dylan chords and played them using arpeggios.

@@ptournas Never heared this story before. Thank you! :)

@@TubetakerBHV Your welcome! There was also kind of an amusing side to this. Dave Van Ronk and his wife let Dylan live with them for a while when he first came to Greenwich Village, and Dave helped to get him into the folk clubs. Dylan already knew "House of the Rising Sun", but he played it in the style of Woody Guthrie's version. After Van Ronk showed him his arrangement of it, Dylan started playing Van Ronk's version. After Dylan moved out of Dave Van Ronk's and began recording sessions with Columbia, he ran into Van Ronk and asked him if he could record his version of "House of the Rising Sun" on his first album. Van Ronk asked him not to, he told Dylan that everyone knew he was going make it big and asked him to save it for a later album because he was also going to cut his own first album in a few weeks and wanted to be the first to record it with his arrangement. Dylan said he was sorry, but he had already recorded it. Although Dylan didn't credit Van Ronk for the chord arrangement, he did write in the liner notes for the album "I'd always known 'Risin' Sun' but never really knew I knew it until I heard Dave sing it.". Dave Van Ronk said he was very upset with Dylan at the time, and when people started asking him to play "that Dylan song, 'House of the Rising Sun'", he dropped the song from his repertoire for a long time. He also said he got over it after a while, because he did like Dylan and they had been friends for a quite a while. And he thought it was funny when Dylan later dropped the song too, because after the Animals did the song, based on the same chord progression, Dylan would get upset with people asking him to play "that Animals song, 'House of the Rising Sun'". Dave called it a bit of poetic justice :)

@@ptournas Thank you again for your additions to the story. I love stuff like this. These "behind the curtain" stories always gets me. :)
