      In the early 60s the TV was even more conservative than it is today. The producers always told the R&R stars to tone it down to a white homogenized frequency. Lol lol. You will note that all the wild stars would give a conservative performance. Look at the Beatles, Stones , Yardbirds, the were all so well groomed that every single hair was in place lol. This performance by the Animals is actually wild for the TV fashion of those days.

      Well said. Everybody is forgotten, just him now. I first heard Eric Burton of the Animals over the radio when I was 12 (in Hong Kong). I had no idea of what he was singing then. But his VOICE was MAGICAL. He was calling out ... calling out... Now, I am 72 years old, I understand. I comprehend what he was singing. His voice is the only meaningful connection of the past 60 years I've lived.

    My father Fred Gamble passed on 3/31/23 . He served 2x in Vietnam, he played all the songs from that time for his 3 daughters. Im the first born, I've learned more about his time there when my oldest graduated boot camp at MCRD in San Diego where he completed his boot camp . He finally opened up to myself and my son ,daughter and husband. It was the first time I've ever heard him talk about it

    As part of the younger generation I love this song. When I was little, I read a diary from Vietnam. One of the quotes in the book was “You haven’t lived until you’ve heard 100 Marines singing at the top of their lungs “WE’VE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE.”
    Loved the song ever since.

      I was in SE Asia in the 60s, but not in Vietnam. "We Gotta Get Outa This Place" was called the unofficial anthem of The Nam for the American GIs.
      I also enjoyed "Sky Pilot". I think the name goes back to World War 2 and refers to the Padres who offered comfort for the poor fucks who had to go out and kill or be killed. As an Air Force guy, knowing my kind were dying in SE Asia, it was pretty intense.

    Eric Burdon, in my opinion, is the greatest singer ever to come out of the 1960s in England. (More so than even John Lennon or Steve Winwood). What a strong, soulful voice. And from what I read, he is a kind, generous soul. A stud with a golden heart. Saw him perform last year in a Chicago suburb. He still sounds great and had a young, very enthusiastic and competent band backing him up.

    My dad said when he was in Nam that whenever this song was played at the holding center for guys going home, everyone even the people working there would sing along out loud.

      I wish I was lucky enough to meet him, I would probably faint if I was to even see him in person. Ha,ha.

    The first time I heard this on the radio back in 1965, I was blown away. Burdon's raw voice was singing the feelings in my soul. I was about 18 and had left a violent home life and facing the great unknown. It was good to know someone was feeling similar things and could paint the pictures the way I saw them. The Animals were the heroes of the downtrodden.

    My 3 year old nephew had just lost his dad---for forever---in 1987. So, my wife and I took him outside just after sunset to simultaneously see the giant Full Moon rising on the other horizon. As he began to glimpse that beautiful "Full Moon rising"...incredibly, he started to sing this song word for word..."We gotta get out of this place!" totally in tune. We were stunned. After he finished, naturally I just had to ask the little guy: "Where did you learn that song?" He replied: "My daddy!".

    He had such a deep, rich voice for someone so young. He still sounds great today.
