The best front man in rock and roll history never will be another singer with a voice the range of Eric burdons we still rock out with the animals here in Kentucky
In March 1967, Eric Burdon & The Animals at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey was the first rock concert I ever attended. I was just 13 years old - and I'll never forget that night. Eric was such an electrifying singer, and he still blows me away.
The Animals were amazing.There were lots of U.K. bands around at that time who couldn’t really play but the Animals had outstanding talent, Eric Burdon was born to be a blues shouter, such a great voice!
My mom listened to the animals and Amen corner, manfred mann, the kinks the yardbirds the hollies and the beach boys oh and rolling stones to name a few.
En découvrant ce film, je comprends pourquoi Les Animals et Eric furent, sont et seront toujours mon groupe préféré. Le talent à l'état pur. Fabuleux !!!
@@elisabethaxelsson4736 Eric was so sexy, the way he sang, the way he moved. No one in The Who like him, sorry that's how I feel. And he was a confident man. Comfortable in his own skin, so to speak. Still alive, must have been doing something right.
60s music was the best ! So much talent out there all for the choosing. I was a wee kid but still absorbed all of it from the radio and my older teenage aunts records. I just love it.
Oh I agree Barbara. A little whirlwind of energy and soul. You may enjoy seeing him, if you haven't already, singing as a guest star on the Otis Redding special filmed live for ReadySteadyGo (RSG) in 1966. He does a quite brilliant version of 'Hold On I'm Coming' and he also has a blast in the spectacular finale with Otis singing 'Shake'. They are both on youtube and if you think he is beautiful on this then prepared to be blown away. Apologies if you have already checked it out, but I just like sharing the Eric love.
I second that. Too bad he didn't get the opportunity to act more- he had short roles in at least two American movies- great voice, great looks, sexy as heck too- even my mom liked him! Better than Peter Noone, Herman and of course she much preferred Eric to Mick Jagger-! Mom didn't dig him and couldn't understand how sweet, pretty, little thing like Marianne Faithfull could be so besotted! Dance on Eric, you STILL GOT IT! Namaste
Elizabeth, I see you discovered these performances sooner than I. I love them all! Love Eric! I wonder how a guy gets so very sexy! Wish time had stopped for all of us and we could be in delight forever. He is just too much!
I was 5 yrs old. When this song came out. But when I hit 12yrs old. I fell in love w/ the singer. The house of the rising sun. I loved that song. Animals I loved you and still do..I'm in love with u so..
nobody will repeat this period of music in any place of this universe, I love that time when this Animals, beatles, stones, Purple, Zep, 10 years after, Cream, ruled the world, gonna cry... : ::: )SERIOUSLY, I APPRECIATE YOU HAVE UPLOADED THIS MAN, THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH... : )
@@elianeramasamy1296 oui, oui, medemoiselle, je ne parle pas franaçais mais c'est la meilleure musique de tous les temps, tienes buen gusto musical. You have got the best taste in music
Ohhh man sounds just like the blues from South side of Chicago my town wowwwww Buddy Guys Legends club would love The Animals , Eric and that keys player 😍🥰
W tamtych latach miałam 15-16 lat,w damoludzie nie było takiego szerokiego dostępu do tego rodzaju muzyki,ale zdobywaliśmy płyty,teraz mam RUclips i mam wszystko Dzięki Pozdrawiam Cecylia z Warszawy
He be the only guy to sing, house of the rising sun. Only he had the desired voice, he was a hansom fucker too. I,m a 45 year old guy, but I would have em.
Yeah, they did do a load of great song's.. I don't remember ever saying that house of the rising sun was the only great song..We gotta get outta this place, when i was younger then.. too name a few..And of course r,I,p. Hilton Valentine. But cheers any way.
Sorry, Miss's the second, I didn't want to sound all pissy , I,m still a bit buged by the reasent bad news we have all just received though. Sorry again.. god bless.
I first saw the animals at the scene in soho, brilliant, was way beyond curfew!, loved all of them Eric burden. I so much hope that they are all happy now. Love xx
5:05 Those moments...! they were really big young rockers that last forever...I love Animals...I I love this performance... I love Eric...I´m gonna cry man...gonna cry
@@kimikat7618 that's what music do in people such us: poetry, doesn't we? I play this music as well since I was a teenager, now, that spirit hasn't gone, only my hair and youth, old on the outside young on the inside...😎🎸
Yep. The TV appearances- even the live ones like Ed Sullivan- were very much tamed for general audiences at home. They were bonkers live. If you haven't seen Eric singing in 1966 as a guest on the Otis Redding special of ReadySteadyGo (RSG) then check it out. He sings 'Hold on I'm coming' backed by a brilliant band that toured with Otis. He also sings with Otis on the finale 'Shake'. They are up on youtube and frankly phenomenal live television the likes of which we will never see again. Eric is about the cutest I have ever seen him look...and he smiles a lot and shows off his footwork as well. Smooth mover was Eric.
all overturned world, with the beatles, Rollings Stones, and others, but if you realize until now the lyrics in Eric Burdon's songs are masterpieces, they are magnificent, and you deserve all the congratulations from that time till now, and forever...
I saw Eric Button live, mid 80's. And he was STILL rockin' it! In high school, I imitated him with the ascot and Ben Franklin sunglasses! Lol? Maybe lol? Anyway, the jocks shoved me around as did others, but I did NOT care! I was dressed like Eric Burdon!! And I played in a band in the bars on weekends!! Anyway, someone yelled out House Of The Rising Sun ( of course) he said," Christ! I hate this fucking song!" But played it anyway. But you could feel the energy level drop Great show all the way around though. He claimed to have seen God both STRAIGHT and ON ACID!!!! MY MAN!!!
Holy s**t! This is INSANE! This has got to be one of the (if not THE) best live performances I've ever seen! Eric's voice and the way he moves are just out of this world and the whole band compliment each other perfectly. It's lucky I was sitting down when I watched this because Eric, would have most certainly 'knocked me off my feet' Heart pounding, knees weak, mind blown! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM indeed! 🤯😍❤
I feel like this is one of the few videos that shows how energetic the Animals could be live. I suspect they (and other groups, I'm sure) had to tone it down for most TV appearances.
@@richardleonard4281 True, but they sung live on the Ed Sullivan show six times in alland they are worth checking out...especially I'm Crying and HOTRS and a really extraordinarily vocally brilliant version of 'Worksong'. However, of course, Ed Sullivan did make sure things were kept in bounds and didn't get really wild. (mustn't shock the folks at home. lol)
My favorite part of babysitting in the early 70s was after i put the kids to sleep, was putting on their headphones (first time thrill headphones) and listening and dancing to all of their 60s music. I didn't even care when they got home or if i got paid (50 cents an hour) as long as i got to play those fantastic songs. Such wonderful music and these people had every artist from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. I wish i had that old album collection.
My brother was much older than me and when he got married I had the use of his 60's record collection for a while. (this was in the late 70's) All the top bands...Who, Them, Kinks, beatles, Stones.) It blew my socks off. But it was The Animals records that really grabbed me and wouldn't let go. He asked for it all back after a while (rock music and a new baby don't mix) and I tried in vain to hang on to The Animals. Thought he wouldn't notice but it was his favourite too. lol Anyway, I collect vinyl now and it is fun to buy it at fleamarkets etc. So why not do the same and get a turntable if you haven't got one and start picking up albums?
@@lechatel thanks for the reply. I loved reading your story. I did the same as you, I collected old records from everywhere and I even have an old Stereo councel record player. The saddest thing happened when we were remodeling our house we put all of our stuff in our garage for safe keeping and sadly it burned down. We lost everything that was stored in there. Then as you say life gets in the way. Kids and now grandkids, but I have replaced a few of my favorites. I hope you find that Animals Album, it was a great one. Keep having fun during the hunt.
@@mareelwood7270 Oh sweetie what a terrible thing to happen! I hope you rebuld your collection. I live in France and there is lots of pre-loved vinyl available...but you have to really check the record for damage of course! I am so excited and happy that due to RUclips The Animals have had some recognition. Good music never dies...even if the hardware does! take care.
@@lechatel I live in Minnesota USA, I have lived here all 60 years of my life. I love it here. I've never been to Europe, although many of my 9 siblings and Parents have been there. France was one of their favorites. They mostly traveled there in the 1970s-1980s. We were all young then and very adventurous. Our ancestors are from France and although it is a rare name here it is very popular in France. Yes I too love music and I am so grateful that we can find almost every song we want on RUclips or any music app on line. I think my all time favorite is Pink Floyd and every 60s British Band. We were so lucky to experience the best music ever written in the 60s, 70s, and 80s live. Love chatting with you. Music makes everyone just a little bit closer to each other, and it never dies.
I can't get enough of this ! Look into Erics eyes! there's no sign of any show-biz we used to nowadays. NO FUCKIN' showbiz, just art, just song, just pure melody!!! OH MY GOD!!! He just does that for the mass satisfaction! I love that awesomely!
Absolute incredible, the the manic energy to perform to all those teenyboppers is quite stunning. Certainly Eric Burton is one of the greatest white R&B singers for a generation.
Eric Burdon like that Guy,Hilton Valentine great friend,Chas Chandler, good businessman.John Steel, dont know,these times are gone,what wer remember is, the Animals were the beginning of something new.Greetings from the Netherlands.
Heard the Animals in concert in Minneapolis in 1966 "when I was young" (14 years old ). They opened for Herman's Hermits. Never could figure out why they were not the headliners ! I was blown away. The entire group was so impressive, but especially Eric Burdon. To this day , they're still one of my favorite groups !
Richard Harris...(?) Makes perfect sense.When rock and roll fused the feeder streams of mud-blues into an adult My Generation world-view. There ought to be a statue to Eric as one of the grand progenitors of the 60's Renaissance.
The best front man in rock and roll history never will be another singer with a voice the range of Eric burdons we still rock out with the animals here in Kentucky
This was great. Eric was such a unique dude and still is really.
Love that Geordie accent of his…along with every other thing about him!
They had so much energy in all of their performances! Burden is the best rock/blues singer ever!

Sometimes I feel that the ANIMALS must have been THE GREATEST ROCK BAND THAT EVER EXISTED.
True
@@elisabethaxelsson4736 Not true. ;)
The Who
For me Animals was the best group so raw so talentet and Eric is in a Class of his one way better and The rest of the frontman

The british super bands realized years before most American bands the Talent of black musicians and paid tribute to them
Raw emotion and passion makes for a killer performance!
Je ne connaissais pas cette version, Belle Performance,!!! Eric Burdon. Est vraiment très Bon !
60s music was the best ! So much talent out there all for the choosing. I was a wee kid but still absorbed all of it from the radio and my older teenage aunts records. I just love it.
If he only knew how much he knocks me off my feet..lawdy what a beautiful man and singer...simply love him!!!
Mark a bit dishonest?
I think her day is going great; yours seems to be filled with unhappy admiration ... 😉

thomas berger wow and a few years after that The Who opened for H.H.!
Would have loved to been there. At 70 yo missed the days
Well that was fun!
It's why they're the Animals!
The Animals at their best !
i was there, i thought the Animals and the Kinks were standout.
Burden so unpolished just raw animal energy. The real deal.
Totally agree
i wouldn't want him polished.
Eris has the rhythm in his blood !
O yes he has
YES, THEY COULD ROCK!
He was also outstanding with War!!
