The Animals a British blues rock band from the sixties, from Newcastle, they had a 30 slot in the studio and this was done in one take, no Auto tune or add effects, the lead vocals Eric Burden was 22 years old, and up to last 2022 was still performing at the age of 80 years old, absolutely a blast from the past 1964 , great reaction thanks 🙏
I don't think this was done in one take. Note Britt's comment beginning at 7:27 "he' smiling, how did the keyboard player get there?" It's lip-synced too.
@@lleblarry The recording of the original song was done in one take, not the recording of the video which was obviously done later.
Sorry. They are English... not being pedantic. ..Scottish people and Welsh people would never stand for being called British. So English people are from England .
@@sallybannister6224 You are being the definition of pedantic. 😂
@@sallybannister6224 But, understand your point. So, just make yours.
The Animals were an English band from Newcastle formed in 1962, the lead singer, Eric Burdon, was 22 at the time they recorded this version in a very small studio
Thanks!
Yes this is a remake of the famous Nina Simone song
@@mervinmerencio6861 No, it's a traditional song first recorded in 1933 by Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, also recorded by Woody Guthrie, Josh White, and Leadbelly, among others in the 1940s. The Animals found it on Bob Dylan's first album, where they also found "Baby Let Me Follow You Down", which they also recorded a version of.
Lead guitarist Hilton Valentine said of his intro that he "simply took Dylan's chord sequence and played it as an arpeggio".
Simone may have had a successful cover of the song, but it was Dylan's version (released before Simone's) that The Animals based their version on.
@Mervin Merencio everyone from Woody Guthrie to Lead Belly, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan right down to Dolly Parton have released versions of this song so to say it was Nina Simone's is just silly as Joan did it as a known traditional song before Nina did and two years before Bob did.
@@brittreacts You may be Beautiful and intelligent with a good personality but if I EVER hear you call one of my fellow Englishmen "American" then you and I are going to have a little " chat" lol
Rule Number 1,2,3 and 5 is that most great Groups are, invariably,English with a few really good American groups there,as well, so always "assume" English unless something leads you to believe something else :)
This was done in one take. The reason the guy is smiling is off screen the techs were rolling the piano player to the front for the final shot, and he was still playing the piano. Couldn't redo because they didn't have enough money. They took a bus to the studio. The walking represents the funeral march used in New Orleans.
The video was recorded much later and is lip-synched (guitars are clearly not plugged in). It is the music that was famously recorded in one take.
Not a piano-- it's a Vox continental organ
The guitarist Hilton Valentine was a brilliant musician and sadly passed away this very month 2 years ago. And the bassist Chas Chandler was the man responsible for introducing Jimmy Hendrix to the world after he became his manager.
Кажется он также раскрутил SLADE ?
Chas Chandler managed Hendrix and was a Conservative Party (UK) MP from London,re-elected for at least 2 terms, and quit playing bass when he heard John Paul Jones play with the Yardbirds. A totally class act!
The voice of a 60 year old Mississipi delta bluesman coming from a 22 year old baby-faced British kid. This is actually a very old American folk song that the Animals made their own.
Yes!
I'm 55, and Ive heard this song throughout my life.
I always pictured the singer as a hard rugged man in his 40's to 50's.
It was only 5 years ago when I found out the bands name, and saw the video.
I am equally shocked that voice could come out of that face!!!
The great Eric Burdon on vocals. You called it, Britt--you can't judge a book by its cover. Burdon looked so young here, but he could really belt it out!
That and they look so creepy and he looks unkempt. He looks like just some bro hanging out on the stoop in South Boston.
@@t0dd000 they look clean cut and respectable 😂
Don't let Eric's boyish looks fool you. He was from the mean streets of Newcastle....
Eric is a blues man. I have seen him 4 times. 2 were in a large festival setting and 2 were more intimate. At one of the smaller venue's he came off stage to hold my hand. The second small venue, he was signing a guy's old record album. I asked Eric who the cute young guy on the back was, he turned it over and I pointed to him. He laughed and slugged me in the shoulder. LOL Memories are wonderful.
I got to see him once, and he brought the house down. What a voice!
I used to know him many years ago when he lived in Nichols Canyon in Hollywood Hills. I'd with his dog in the backyard. It was a Sheltie. Eric would come out and sit in one of the pool chairs and watch us running around.
On 18 May 1964, The Animals (after an evening concert in Liverpool) drove 6 hours back to London to perform on the U K's most popular music TV program "Ready Steady Go" Having very little time the band raced in to De Lane Lea Studios in Soho, London. After quickly setting up, the band did a very brief mic level check Then in one glorious moment in time, the band delivered (in one Live take!!) a masterpiece for the ages. They packed up and rushed off to their TV appearance. Britt, those at the session said the band was in and out in 20 to 30 minutes. WITH the mono mix in the can. Astonishing!! Best wishes. RNB (sorry for the ramble)
They actually did 2 songs. This and We've Got To Get Out Of This Place. The video is on YT, same set, same outfits, same everything.
@@richdiddens4059 The video's may have been filmed the same day but the songs recordings were nearly a year apart. House of the Rising Sun was 1964 and We've Got To Get Out Of This Place was 1965. Cheers, RNB
they left the chuck Berry tour to go to london to record the song-it's written in Eric's books
A VERY GOOD RAMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Burdon is an English blues man through and through. He's still going strong in his 80s. I grew up in that era of rock n roll, and everybody knew that the blues were the basis of the music we all began to play and love. BTW, at the time of this performance most of the rock bands wore matching costumes (usually suits) on stage. This song is very old, probably from the late 1800s. It is a "traditional folk song" that may have originated in England, rather than New Orleans. There is where the lyrics describe a woman as the protagonist (the house, after all, is a cat house). Check out Dolly Parton's version.
Back in the sixties, music was our life!! There was so much talent around. Listen to more from that decade, you'll be surprised!! ❤❤❤
This has got to be one of the most iconic songs of the 60s everybody knows this song from bak then . They r a British band and made some great music . Try reacting to Please Dont Let Me Be Missunderstood . Great Reaction from you . Keep it up
Good coment but ENGLISH to be precise. We can not let those other Brirs get any undue credit:)
PURE 60's British Invasion started by The Beatles - love the Animals!!!- they were LOVED in the US!!!! This is a live performance - no auto tune - no digital tweeks - just 1 take TALENT!!!! This brought that folk song out of the dust to a wider fan base!!! After this many bands did a cover!!!
You have such a beautiful voice! I'm glad you are reacting to older, classic rock. I love the chord progression and passion of this song.
the singer Eric Burdon, joined the brilliant American band WAR and they relaeased a brilliant single "Spill the wine"it's worth checking out, even if you dont review it. x
You will find that starting in the 1950's groups, bands and singers started to experiment with music. Expanding on long time traditions and blending different genres to create new sounds. Then the electric guitar brought a whole new sound to the mix leading to electric keyboards and so many other electronic advances. If you stay in the pre 80's you'll hear a lot of pure vocal talent; the era of NO auto tune. So many of the early rockers were classically trained when they were young and took that training to the music they created.
You should also check out The Kinks.
This is definitely a Blues song, with a rock treatment. And in the 60's they might have had to have that 'clean' appearance to get the recording contract and promotion. This is one of those songs that can stick in your head - for a long time.
It's a folk song written by folk legend Woodie Guthrie. This is a blues rock treatment though for sure.
@@denroy3 It goes further back than Woodie Guthrie the first published lyrics were around 1905 but is said to be much older Clarence Ashley did the first recorded version as a duet in 1933 , it was on Bob Dylan's first album so that may be where the Guthrie story comes from even though Dylan's version was based on Dave Van Ronk's version.
@@denroy3 There are some folks who date this song back to the 1860s. Woody Guthrie is just one of those who performed it.
You don't remember when the Beatles wore Beatle suits?
@@KaiserBlade I was 6 years old in 1964 and I remember Beatle wigs being a big thing and then Beatle boots.
I was blessed to see Eric Burdon and the Animals in 1968 for my 15th birthday!!! What a concert that was!
Cuz' I'm just a soul who's intentions are goooood... OH LORD! Please don't Let Me Be misunderstood!
New Orleans was known to have walking Funeral Processions with music on the way to the Graveyard. They're trying to mimic that in this video.
This song is a traditional from NOLA, it is about a famous brothel owned by a French lady who´s name in English is Rising Sun. This info was brought to YT by someone who knows the history of NOLA. Elmar from Germany.
There are at least 4 addresses in New Orleans that could be the House Of The Rising Sun. (3 brothels and a women's prison) You can find them all online if you look.
@@wilfbentley6738 Thank you sir.
cast iron voice no special effects and filters REAL REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A great song that gives a vibe of New Orleans and the area called Storyville, which was several city blocks that were zoned for "houses of ill repute". Eric Burden had such a great voice that it was iconic. It reminds me of how I need to go back to NOLA, which is just a three-hour drive. BTW: Mardi Gras starts in just a few weeks.
This was the beginning of the era of folk-rock. The Animals were a British blues band, and this was their first record (I think). The song itself is a classic American folk song that has been done numerous times by various folk and blues singers, but this was the first time it broke into the pop sphere (they pinched it from Bob Dylan, who sang a version on his first album). I remember this coming out in 1964 and we were all totally stunned by it. We played it full blast in the school music room instead of Bach or Mendelssohn, and the music teacher was not pleased! Sorry about the rubbishy set-up on the TV show. They had very restricted technology back then and also weren't used to featuring bands like this.
Funny story about the Animals pinching this song from Dylan. Dylan pinched it from folkie, Dave Von Ronk. Von Ronk once told how Dylan came to him after Dylan had recorded his first album and asked for Von Ronk's permission to play his arrangement of House of the Rising Sun. Von Ronk said, "Well I kinda wanted to record it first." To which Dylan said "Uh-oh" because Dylan had already put it on his first album. Then when Von Ronk came out with his recording, people accused him of stealing Dylan's version. Von Ronk got a kick out of it when Dylan later told him he couldn't play House of the Rising Sun any more because people accused him of stealing it from the Animals. 😄
They had at least one record before this "Baby Let Me Take You Home." This was from a film/movie featuring quite a few English bands of the day in the early sixties.
Dylan used Dave Van Ronk's treatment of the song, but the song was by folk legend, and Dylan's hero, Woody Guthrie.
Baby Biomer here! "The House of the Rising Sun " was one of my very first 45's! We had such great music back then 1960-70's! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Baby Boomer! LoL! 😂
60s-70s music is amazing!!
If you want to see a early 70's great, watch Eric Burden and WAR in the song; SPILL THE WINE. You'll see amazing playing and amazing singing...
Oh this song was sooooo popular. Many have done covers and tried to imitate. But no one has done it like The Animals!
The tall guitarist pretty much discovered Jimi Hendrix and managed him.
You NEEEEEEEEED to check out Eric Burden and WAR ………" Spill the Wine “. Enjoy!!!!! P.S. watching from Japan!!!!
Hey Britt check out Conway Twitty and Sam Moore doing Rainey Night in Georgia. You will enjoy it.
The Animals are English , This is a real Classic. The story is about a correctional reformatory for Boys
Love your reactions. You are really perceptive and display a very quick take on the songs, which you express well. The Animals are a pretty unique band, with a style you can't mistake for anyone else. Eric Burdon's vocals are only part of that, if the most apparent. I would recommend "It's My Life" as the next song from this band. It has a harsh, cynical lyric to it, but I think it is one of the best produced songs of the era. The way the guitar and bass accompany the vocal is at once simple and ingenious. You could delete the vocal and have a magnificent instrumental by itself, but together they produce a magical blend that is mesmerizing. I recommend the studio version for sound quality.
The Animals were a British band from Newcastle. You should take a deeper look at British music, especially the stuff that didn't make it across the pond. Give Little Simz a look, especially 'Point and kill', also Stormzy, you'll get tons of new subs.
I had a feeling! Thanks for the info!!!
OMG yes! Little Simz - Venom!
Helen Shapiro
This is The Animals live on the Ed Sullivan show doing “We’ve Gotta Get Outa This Place.” It. Is. Epic.

If you want to " feel " the sixties , YOU SHOULD listen to the Whole Album !!👍👍 👍🏿👍🏽👍🍁🌻💛💙🇺🇦
Eric Burden and the band War.......
Spill the Wine 🍷 one great song 👏 give it a listen please 🙏 .. Take Care ☺️✌️❤️
I'm kinda with Eric on that, not that you're correct given the intervening 60 years (+ or-), but after initially enjoying my first of your reactions, thinking you a real find, a few short days ago, I came hopefully to this having just subjected myself to your daintily dropping bunny turds willy-nilly throughout 'A Whiter Shade of Pale'. Don't feel obligated to chime in with your initial reaction asap, nor to voice every random thought that bubbles to the surface of your thoughts. Please 🙏
🇨🇦 BRITISH
And Eric Burden was only 22 at this recording !
Great song but caused a lot of aggravation between the band and the keyboard player. Singer Eric Byron was the song (a cover). However arranging credit went only to Alan Price. According to Eric Burdon, this was simply because there was insufficient room to name all five band members on the record label, and Alan Price's first name was first alphabetically. However, this meant that only Price ever received songwriter's royalties for the hit, a fact that has caused bitterness among the other band members ever since.
Great observations. I love it when reactors pick up on the power and other qualities of a singer’s voice. I sang a little of this song on my own, knowing I’d have to belt. Some of my neighbors didn’t quite appreciate that.
😂😂😂 I’m sure they loved it!
My neighbours LOVED my singing in London.
One of them loved it so much that he threw a brick thru' my window so he could hear it better......
*The piano player looks so much like James O'Keefe of Project Veritas, did he timetravel?*
Eric Burdon subdued? Bwahahah The "EGG MAN" was quit the animal in his day.
They're not American. They're from the North East of England. My dad grew up with Hilton Valentine (RIP)!
This is a great video. This is obviously from a TV variety show, because Music Videos hadn't been invented yet. They are also lip-syncing as there are no microphones, guitar cords or cords to the electric keyboard. But none of that matters because they were such a tight band with very talented musicians and of course, Eric Burden singing vocals. Terrific reaction. ✌♥🙏
Thanks!!!
@@brittreacts lip-syncing was the norm for songs on tv shows in the 60s, 70s, 80s.
I remember when this song came out. There was only one AM radio station to listen to, on a transistor 📻 radio. We took it to the beach and everywhere like a boom box but tiny. It is such a powerful song. It’s the story of a girl who lives her life in a brothel. No way out.😢
Eric Burdon is an interesting artist with a decades-long career. Check out Eric Burdon and War "Spill the Wine"
In 1968, I had the pleasure of being in a band that opened for these guys. They were a pleasure to meet and be around. One of my favorite memories. RIP Hilton Valentine, lead guitarist for this band.
Hilton left the band in 1966
funny that you say american band, because they're from newcastle, england lol
Great English band lead the British invasion of the U.S and brought Jimi Hendrix To England and the rest is History it was 1965
Some consider this the most mysterious song of the 60s. Apparently, there were two House if Rising Suns in New Orleans when this song was written long ago. One house was an orphanage, the other, a bar. Either one could be related to the song. Ie, “It’s been the ruin of many a poor boy” seems to relate to the orphanage. Then again, “I’m going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain” indicates he’s talking about returning to that bar and continue on being an alcoholic. It’s been quite a debate as to what that House was.
Man!!! Young peple have no idea what they've been missing if they do not explore music of the 60s and early 70s (and later 70s for that matter), especially if you like R&B and Blues and Jazz. While there are the British bands (there are many Ameerican bands/artists I like from the period too) that move more toward music that is influenced by Classical Music, there are many who are very true to the R&B/Blues roots of Rock & Roll. This is the music I grew up with - my dad was mainly a jazz musician but we listened to all kinds of music.
The keyboard player is taking us to Church! :) Your spot on, the Animals were a British rock group...
Yes!!!!
@@brittreacts :)
English, not British.
check out the singer in "spill the wine eric burdon and war" war is a Latin band they did the song. "lowrider"
Actually it's *all* a mirror image -- these guys are not all lefthanded.
You should watch Eric in a group called War doing Spill The Wine 🍷
This is one of many covers. The earliest is probably a 1937 recording. According to an old American Folk Songs book I have it states: 'A ragged Kentucky Mountain girl recorded this modern Southern white song for me in 1937 in Middlesborough, Kentucky, the hardboiled town in the Cumberland Gap on the Tennessee border.This blues song of a lost girl probably derives from some older British piece. At any rate,the house of the Rising Sun occurs in several risque English songs, and the melody is one of several for the ancient and scandalous ballad Little Musgrave '
There are also 8 verses, too many for a pop song of the sixties. Certainly more than the statutory 3 minutes or so. Excepting Dylan of course!
Another of my favorite reaction channels recently did a Roy Acuff version of this song. I was so surprised to find out he'd recorded it.
@@chrisdutton2975 That's a surprise to me too. Since I stated that the 1937 recording was probably the earliest, I've done a quick check on Google. It appears the earliest known recording was in 1933 with the title: 'House of the Rising Sun Blues'
I was lucky enough to see The Animals live in the early 60's at an all night Blues concert at Birmingham (U.K.) along with the Moody Blues, Long John Baldry, Spencer Davis Group, and a few more. Brit, if you like songs with a story you should check out Big Bad John by Jimmy Dean
Not to mention Long John Baldry - "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King of Rock & Roll"
The Version This Mine Lies One Hell Of A Man
Brit, just found your channel and dig your enthusiasm. If you want a to hear another good "story" song, check out "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", by Gordon Lightfoot. It is based on a shipwreck.
Hi Britt, I absolutely enjoyed your reaction to The Animals "House of The Rising Sun" ...Well done!!!
That is definitely Rock n Roll - Blues influenced, but still rock n roll. For the time, this song was revolutionary. The Beatles were mostly still singing to teen girls at this time.
Nice review and comments. Speaking of "American Band" please try Grand Funk Railroad "We're an American Band".
should try out these by them; "it's my life" " we gotta get out of this place" "don't let me be misunderstood"
Britt they are from England Newcastle
Road to 30k 10 months ago and now on 189k? Freaking impressive!
Based partly
on a 1930s 1940s blues song
This is a classic, Britt. But something that interested me was when The Blind Boys Of Alabama did a version of Amazing Grace done to this music! It’s freaky how cool it turned out with this melody!
sometimes I think the Animals are better than the Beatles and didnt get their due. but I love them both
They were called the Animals for a reason. Don't let the subdued look in this video fool ya. ;)
A little bit of trivia, the bassist for the Animals, Bryan Chandler was the one who discovered Jimi Hendrix.
The Animals were part of the British Invasion in 1964. This song became a hit for the band in the fall of '64. Eric Burdon was the lead singer. He had a phenomenal voice. Around And Around is a great song as well👍
Many people think it's about a bad boy with a rough life going to jail, but when you get to the part about wearing the ball and chain, you realize he's getting married 😁.. I'm not bitter..
Ball and chain is a prison reference. When they were working outside of the prison on a chain gang they wore a Ball and chain.
@@patrickseidel8625 he's talking about a habit. The house of the rising sun is a gambling house. His father was a gambler, and he took after him. He is going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain wich is the habit of going to the gambling house and losing all his money. That's why he says it's been the ruine of many poor boys, and God he knows, he's one!
@April Newsome I already knew that . I was trying to explain it was originally a prison term not a marriage term.
@@patrickseidel8625 first thing to go is the sense of humor, then the thumbs..
@@patrickseidel8625 thank you. Sorry I wasn't replying to your comment, but the marriage comment. But thank you for your reply. Even though the prison would have fit the song more than getting married. Lol
Every kid in school learned this on guitar.
And they are all still playing it 58 years later. It’s a crowd pleaser.
If you get the chance to, give Tim McGraws, "Don't take the girl", don't forget a tissue.
This song goes as far back as the 16th century. The oldest recording found was in 1925.
The ROOTS of the song have been speculated to go back that far, to a traditional British folk song, but nothing all that similar to the lyrics here existed until a couple centuries later. The actual song that turned into this was first collected in Appalachia in the 1930s.
Eric Burden is one of the greats. Try his version of Tobacco Road. The organist in this song is spectacular as well. Love your reaction to music of my time
I saw The Animals in 1967/8 in Pittsburgh, PA. But they weren't the top performers. Another of the performers was a band you may have heard of them: The Rolling Stones. The top performer was Herman's Hermits.
BTW, the House of the Rising Sun was a house of ill repute in New Orleans. The rising sun was a red lantern above the door of the house. The song is actually from an old folk song.
They are frum Liverpool
look for "I'M CRYING", from Ed Sullivan Show....
it's spectacular.....
I was in the Navy in 1964 when this came out. It hit the charts big while I was in was New London, Connecticut and was on the juke boxes everywhere and all over the radio. This is the best version that I have come across over all the years.
The suits were the height of fashion for 1964. I had a jacket much like that if I need to to get dressed up for special occasions or going to dances. It was just the beginning of the Hippie era where clothing became more "carefree" I guess you could say.
Eric Burdon is the most authentic blues singer to ever come out of England.
This song has its roots in traditional English folk songs. The credits are unknown and may go back to the 17th century. Bob Dylan did a version back in 1961.
Now do Eric Burdon & WAR!
Eric Burdon lead singer...legendary...heavily influenced Bruce Springsteen...you might want to react to: 'We Gotta Get Outta This Place' one of my favorites...
Britt , love your channel . Fill you on about the 'Animals'
The Animals (also billed as Eric Burdon and the Animals) are an English rock band,
formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s. ... They balanced tough, rock ...
Years active: 1963-1969; 1975-1976; 1983; 1992-present
Origin: Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Alan Price killed the keyboards, Eric Burdon killed the vocals. Chas Chandler the bassist would eventually perform with Jimi Hendrix.
The Animals were a Rock band.
The song is from 1964.
This was the time of the Beatles, mop tops. The rock genre wasn’t completely formed yet. There were many bands with similar 50’s-60’s styles. The Animals were definitely a pioneer of rock.
Really.! SUCH AN AMERICAN WAY OF DESCRIBING BRITISH MUSIC 🎶. Stay in America. Free US from your terms and terminology,
my mother grew up in the next street to the keyboard player ( alan price) .. he was in the year above her at school! ... its a small world!
Almost nobody ever notices that the color of the keys are reversed on the organ. Pretty cool.😁
If y'all loved this one!? Y'all gonna love their song "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood"! And, it was also done that same day, as it's got the exact same studio look, along with the outfit's. And, they killed them both! And, back in the 60's(When they were first starting out, and did this video, for their album, along with several other great song's, including the 1 I mentioned earlier), was during the early year's, as well as, into the early 70's, when it was known as, the "British Invasion" in the music industry, with The Animals, The Beatles, Black Sabbath(Ozzy's solo career in the late 70, early 80's), Led Zepplin, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Cream, The Moody Blues, Deep Purple, and a few other's(Obviously, some more in the early 60's, and some in the later 60's). I would bet, that you would be shocked as Hell, if you were to listen to "The Moody Blues - Night's In White Satin"...
George Thoroughgood and the Delaware Destroyers, "One Bourbon, One Whiskey, One Beer".
Storytelling genius.
Check it out.
I understand that this is a folk song with the lyric change to suit their song. Many covers of this before them, Bob Dylan being one. From memory originally this was about a jailhouse and death row. They are DEFINITELY NOT AMERICAN. :)
Story song ,,, Youth of the Nation Song by P.O.D. Speaks of problems 30 years ago yet could be today
another great song with Eric Burdon & War - Spill The Wine (1970)
Eric Burdon, singer, went on to work with the group WAR. Would love to hear you react to them.
Fall 1964, #1. "All American Boys?" Haha...they are all British! the Beatles used to hang out with them in London ca 1963 before the Beatles broke through in Jan/Feb 1964 in the USA. The Animals wer eaprt of the musical occurance called the Brisih Invasion. They ha dmany hit records and were rhthym and blues based. They had huge hit records in the USA BEFORE the Rolling Stones.
This came out roughly the same time the Beatles first made it big. They were part of the "British Invasion" of the early mid 60s. If you go past their many many top hits, the Beatles also made several "American Blues" covers, such as "You Make Me Dizzy Miss Lizzy", "Long Tall Sally", "Matchbox", "Everybody Wants to be My Baby", etc.
