Hi absolutely love your reactions , to see your positive energy and enthusiasm when reacting to a artist for the first time is infectious, you seem to be so enthusiastic and humble, great reaction thanks 🙏

She stars the video with "this came out in 1964 - WOW - that's old". I was born in '64, but yeah, both the song and I are old!! 🤣🤣👴

"Please don't let me be misunderstood. " is another great one of theirs.

Eric's voice is epic and this song is a must - listen

I still go to see Eric whenever he's in the area. Still has that amazing voice. Check out "It's My Life" & "We Gotta Get Outta This Place". This was from a UK movie. They made many movies with all the top artists of the time. They were part of the original British Invasion with The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Zombies, Yardbirds, Dave Clark Five and so so many others. An incredible time to be alive back then.

Filmed in 1964, this is from Pop Gear (1965) which was shown in movie theaters to introduce US audiences to the British Invasion bands. The band is slow walking as if in a funeral procession which goes with the somber tone of the song.

This song is very old even before this recording. It was a staple for most folk and blues bands to play a version of this during any live set. The animals recorded it and did such an iconic job, it is now defacto theirs. Great reaction and thanks for sharing.

great tune by a great band Fun side note, the bass player Chas Chandler is creditied with "discovering" Jimi Hendrix

The organ 🎹 and his voice make the song. The Animals were one of the many British Jnvasion bands of the 1960s.

It can't be that old (laughing); I remember when this song first released and was getting a ton of radio play. One of the 'great' rock classics that emerged from the 60s; Eric Burdon sings with the soul of a broken man who is 40 years older than he..

You need to react to the Yardbirds, The Zombies, and the Kinks! They have amazing songs! The Yardbirds have so many great songs like For Your Love, Heart Full of Soul, Shapes of Things, Happenings Ten Years Time Ago, Evil Hearted You, Still I'm Sad, Train Kept Rollin, etc. (and they're actually the predecessors of Led Zep). The Kinks have Sunny Afternoon, You Really Got Me, and Lola. The Zombies have Time of the Season, She's Not There, and Tell Her No. The Zombies also have impressive use of organ solos in TOTS and SNT. And Keith Relf and Ray Davies are also very handsome men. And Jimmy was in the YBs and he was just as attractive as his Zep days! I love all of these songs.

The earliest versions of this song were about a brothel. If you listen to the lyrics carefully it could be about a gambling hall, as per some sources.

One of the greatest bands of the 60’s. Other great songs are “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, “I’m Crying” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place and “It’s My Life”

The song itself is much older than 1964, as recorded versions date back to the 1930s, and is itself based on traditional songs going back a couple of hundred years. This version by The Animals is one of the best, and Eric Burdon’s vocals truly outstanding. There’s some great music from the 60s that I’m sure you’d love.

I love that you are listening to this "Old" music. There is much more out there keep listening! ❤

Nice, the great Eric Burden on vocals. One of the biggest hits of 1964, dominated by the Beatles and the British Invasion. For another banger from them do We Gotta Get Out of This Place. Great Band! Also, their bassist, Chss Chandler, discovered Jimi Hendrix and brought him back to Englad to form the Jimi Hendrix experience, another reason I love the Amimals! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

That organ the VOX Continental has such a distinctive sound: I have heard this many times over the years and it never get old, it is timeless. On the keys with that epic solo, is Alan Price.

The keyboard player was Alan Price, who was an outstanding musician.

Great Classic song. The singer Eric Burdon sang a hit tune with with the black rhythm & blues group War called Spill the Wine! Think you would like it! He speaks the verses and sjngs the chorus. It's way groovy!!!

A classic hit song and a great reaction.

One of the best rock band🤘

The classic Hammond organ! Love this one!

This is a few hundred years English folk song.Its probably been covered more than 'Yesterday.'

They had to move the organ key board and player to get at the spot for end of video and only had time for one take! That's what is cracking up SMILEY the Guitar player behind the lead singer!

An absolute top tier unique recording! So incredible! Great reaction!🌿🌸

The organist is Alan Price Ola.👍

British Invasion of music was much need …you can see love of the blues in singing

One of Britain's Great bands in the 1960s pure talent live without autotune and they recorded this song in only one take.

Excellent reaction one of the classics later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸

Real 60,s classic

I love this old video clips

At the start of the video and during the organ solo the organ and the player are next to the drummer, but at the very end he has moved like 10 meters away and that could be why the guitar player is smiling.

Check out bob dylan's version of this song from 1961, from his first album, i think youd like it, its the reason the animals chose to cover this...bob didnt write it either, this sing goes back to the 1800's, its very, very old folk song. Its a very dark song with some very dark subject matter

When we were kids in the 60s messing around trying to learn guitar this was one of the first songs we all tried to play.

T%he bass player was Jimmy Hendrix mannager !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great song from a great band. Lot's of great bands and great songs from that time period. The Animals also had many great songs, and if you react to more of them, I hope you find some live versions. There was a popular TV program called the Ed Sullivan Show, and many of the great bands from that time period did live performances on that show. The Animals had several appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, and performed some of their greatest songs live. Don't let Me be Misunderstood, We Gotta get Out of This Place, It's my Life, are a few of their other great songs. House of The Rising Sun was their top song and my favorite. I enjoyed your reaction and I'm glad you're looking into the lyrics.

As always, a great reaction to one of my fav songs

This song is an orig by Leadbelly. He did many songs in the early days. CCR covered many of his songs and Led Zeppelin covered his songs.

FUN FACT: No one knows who wrote “House of the Rising Sun”. Because Eric Burdon and the Animals had such a massive hit with their recording of this song back in 1964, most people assume Eric Burdon wrote it. Fact is, no one knows who wrote it. Musicologists have tried to track down its origins but it's so old that its origins are lost in the murky mists of time. It may even go back all the way to 17th century England in a form that became known as "Broadside Ballads." If it did originate in England then it probably came to America via some ocean-going traveler who may have sung it here in the U.S. and then others picked it up and it slowly got passed around. Also, if it did originate in England, then someone had to have changed the location of the brothel from its location in England to New Orleans, probably to make the song more relevant to American audiences. That is all speculation, obviously, since no one knows for sure what the original lyrics were in that particular verse. Another interesting thing about the song is that in some versions it's about a man lamenting his experience in the brothel while in other versions it's a woman telling of her trials and tribulations at the brothel. I first heard it by folk singer, Joan Baez, a year or two before the Animals' released their version. In the Animals version the narrator is a man. In the Baez version the narrator is a woman. There is also a version of the song by the legendary folk singer, Huddie (Leadbelly) Leadbetter, that is so different (both melodically and lyrically) that it's barely recognizable as the same song. Another early rendition of the song was by Bob Dylan about 3 years before the Animals released their hit version. The oft-told story about Dylan "stealing" the song from folk/blues singer, Dave Van Ronk, is sort of true but also sort of not true. The "sort of true" part is that Dylan did first hear the song being performed by Van Ronk who wanted to record it. But Dylan included it on his own debut album (released in 1962) before Van Ronk got a chance to record it. The "sort of not true" part is that no one "owns" that song so you can't "steal" something that is not owned by anyone. And, as far as I'm aware, no one really knows where Van Ronk heard the song in the first place. Back in the '60s, a plethora of folk singers were all hanging around in coffee houses in New York's East Village where traditional folk songs were passed around and performed by anyone who wanted to sing them. People didn't have cell phones back then so there was no way to record a song on the spot. So, if some traveling folk-singer happened to hear a song somewhere and then moved on to another town and sang the song for another audience, the singer might not remember exactly how the lyrics went and would just make up new lyrics to fill in for the lyrics that he/she couldn't remember. This happened for decades (even hundreds of years in some cases) and that's why there are so many versions of old folk songs. Musicologists sometimes refer to this borrowing, changing, and adapting of a song as "the folk process".

Another fun fact. The lead singer was latter also in the band WAR. I just recently learned that.

Nine years old when this came out, remember watching this on TV,,grew up with these songs, thanks 😎🌷

Did you notice that the colors of the the keys on the keyboard are reversed.

After getting out of the service in Nov '70, I started college, "Ag & Tech College in Upstate NY", in Jan '71. The college had the Animals perform as a welcome back event.

hard to imagine this mv is 60 years old - hell man i was already 11 then so i guess that makes me old too. still sounds fresh today.

always been a great song...that guys been smiling on this video and making others smile including me for 60 years. . .

Eric burden, the lead singer did a song with war called "spill the wine " was a hit on radio at time .

Ola I love your reactions to all my old favourites. You send me scurrying back to my LP collection to flick through them and then my CD collection. You constantly remind me of the 60s and 70s when protest music led the way and really appealed to young men being drafted to fight in wars etc. Love you heaps xx

Alan Price on keyboards. Went on to have a successful career with his own band.

Guitar player was laughing because they had the organ player move from the back, by the drummer, to the front, during the last verse. 👍👍😉😉

yeah, they follow him around wherever he goes.. hes used to it

One foot on the platform , the other foot on the train...Relased the year i was born. Not bad for 64.

I thougnt it was funny that unsaid 1964 was old, because i was born in 1976 & when i was ur age in the 90's, i listened to a lot of 1960's stuff, but, then, i put myself in your shoes & did the math & realized that as a 20-something kid in the 1990's , that u listening to something from 60 years ago would be like me listening to something in the 90's that was from 1934 & i was like 😬😬😬😳😳😳🫤...so, yeah, i guess it is old....i did listen to louis armstrong from tne 30's tho, & other jazz from the 40's, & old folk stuff tho too, but not mostly 60's 70's, 80's 90's stuff, ....yeah, anyway, im old, lol! Great channel & eric burden & the animals are awesome.....this song has been in a lot of movies , my fave is martin scorsese's movie "Casino" from about 1994....epic song, what a dark mood. Great reaction

They were from north east UK and the bassist discovered Jimi Hendrix

I think they became known as Eric Burden and the Animals. Eric did have a great voice.

Never understood the guy behind Eric with that creepy smile in such a serious song. The rest keep in character with serious faces to match the song. But, that guy just does this creepy smile. wow

Eric Burton vocal.chas Chandler bass. Hilton Valentine guitar.john Steele drums.alan price keyboard.chas and. hilton are gone.eric still performs.check out winds of change album from 2968 6:04

1964 is two years younger than me.... I guess I am old.....

I was 13 when this song was released. The reaction then was much the same as yours. But my friends and I felt that the song was originally about a young girl who becomes a prostitute. Many brothels in New Orleans were known as "house" - for example, Josie Arlington's Five-Dollar House. From 1897 to 1917, the New Orleans red-light district was called Storyville. Within that area, prostitution was legal by municipal order. The law was changed in 1917 because the United States was entering World War I that year, and thousands of soldiers were boarding ship to Europe in New Orleans. The city - still the second-busiest port in the world - was always a party town, as ports always are. The armed forces didn't want the recruits to contract sexually-transmitted illnesses, which would make some of them too ill to fight. So there went Storyville. The good thing that came from Storyville was jazz. The first jazz recording, as far as is known, was made in 1917. There were dancehalls and taverns everywhere, inside and outside Storyville, where at first the musicians played marches they converted to dance music and a style of piano music called ragtime, after composer Scott Joplin's first published piece, called "Original Rags." However, it must be said there is nothing particularly New Orleans about this song. A bit of Americana for you.

It's 2 a.m I stayed up watching you

The bassist is Chas Chandler who discovered Jimi Hendrix who you reviewed recently

They were part of the first British Invasion.

Yes, Eric did a decent job but who really "made' this song was Alan Price on organ.

Beautiful Pretty Too Ola

Ha haa you have no idea yet how old. I was listening to the tune when it first came out at the age of 13.

❤❤❤

You are so magnificient!! The 8th wonder of the world. I can see all the beauty in the world in you. I can see that u shine too! Full of light 😊 Full of kindness. The world need more human like u 🙏👆

I left u coment about this song but for somehow some reason it went to Elvis my bag. I really never heard the song before well listen to it full it's weird they never did music videos back then but yes it's funny how they walked around. The kind of remind me of the Dors that's what they did in the 60s was bowed.You look very nice t

After watching this video many times, I believe that the walking represents him, after being arrested, walking under guard to the train which will take him back to New Orleans for trial. He tells his story as he goes and is resigned to his fate.

Chas Chandler, the bass player went on to manage Jimi Hendrix 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 You should listen to Five Finger Death Punch's version of this 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Theres tons of good music buried in time, just gotta look and you'll start to find it.

Well, to enjoy this, there must be a huge element of " the suspension of disbelief!" What we have here is an Englishman from the north of England acting out the role of a black American singer. Indeed, I'm convinced that history will not be kind to all those UK singers who sounded like black American singers ( complete with an American accent ), The blues should be about "the truth" and singing in a foreign accent is a long way from the truth. One could be kind, and view such vocal renderings as a sort of "homage" to the black American blues greats. Or, better still, as mentioned previously, think of Eric ( and Stevie, and Joe etc )as acting out the role of black American singers. And, like any good actor, they play their parts well, and convincingly. But, of course, we mustn't ever forget that they are merely playing a part. Now, B B King, for example, didn't act out the role of a black blues singer. He was a black American blues singer; however, in this song, Eric is, indeed, playing the part of a black American singer, and that was not be forgotten!

I really love your reactions! You should listen to Hotel California by The Eagles! It’s such a great song!

My voice is similar to Eric Burdon but no one knows that

Five Finger Death Punch (5FDP) covered this song but, I'm not sure if you're ready for a gritty version, as their video reveals.

House of the Rising Sun is a classic which has been recorded by many, many artists but I believe this Animals version is considered by most as the best or most famous version. There is a nice hard rock version by the band Frijid Pink and artists are still recording it today. Canadian blue rock singer released a nice version on her last album and there is a great video of her performing it by herself on guitar and harmonica and even symbols for percussion on here boots. If I am not mistaken it's an old folk song and Madison changes the pronouns to feminine which is not usually done but I heard it was original written with feminine pronouns. Just a bit of trivia that I heard.

😯

Mike and the mechanics "In the Living Years" reaction please.

That voice should be coming out of a 60 year old black man who has been through some rough shit in his long hard life.

Yes I Am indeed old 😂. That's why We know About this Incredible Music !!! If you Enjoy this perhaps you might Enjoy 1) The Zombies ( Time of the season ) 2) Dr Hook ( Cover of the Rolling stone 3) Bobbie Gentry ( Ode to Billy Joe ) 4) The Hollies ( long cool woman in A Black Dress ) 5) The Cascades ( Rhythm of the Falling Rain ) This is Just A Small list 😊 However if you want to try something Almost 1 k years old from 1068 Johann Sebastian Bach's ( Air ) No Lyrics Just 🎵🎶 Music
