That's right Mike and many vets have made that comment under other reactors. When their time was up and they were coming back they sang "I'm Your Captain" by Grand Funk Railroad because of the lengthy chorus "I'm Getting Closer To My Home." I have been told there were other songs that had meaning for them during that time and I am so grateful that for medical reasons I didn't have to experience it because I was called to be drafted when I was 18 in 1971.
Check out two of the group's last hits from around 1967, the haunting, hippy anthem "San Franciscan Nights" and the psychedelic "Sky Pilot." Burdon would go solo soon after.
Walter you have fine taste in music Sir, I have been trying to get SAN FRANCISCAN NIGHTS on Harri's reaction channel for ages, loved this song since I was a young hippie in Glasgow Scotland in the late 60's. Take care and rock on Walter.
I was in junior high when the British Invasion hit American shores starting on February 7, 1964 with the Beatles arriving in NYC, and the Animals soon followed. House of the Rising Sun was their first and will always be my favorite.
From what I've read, this song was very popular with the soldiers fighting in Vietnam. Watching that video, however, it seems the place they want to escape from is the taxidermied jaws of H.R. Pufnstuf! PS. Eric Burden with and without The Animals? OK. "Don't Bring Me Down", "Spill the Wine", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "Monterey", "When I Was Young", "It's My Life", "San Francisco Nights", ...
The Animals are one of my favorites from the classic era. So many great tracks on their best of…many of which I didn’t even realize were their songs until I got the album.
In the 50's and 60's black jazz and blues musicians played alot in England because they were treated like royalty while back in the states Jim Crow laws. Alot of young English stars grew up seeing them live admiring and imitated them
Sky Pilot is the song that got many men through Vietnam. The Animals are amazing. Harri if you choose to do Sky Pilot make sure it's the long version there are actual footage from WW2, extremely moving
Eric Burdon joined *WAR* and they had a hit with *SPILL THE WINE* . [COMPLETE FUNK] I love the Animals live on the Ed Sullivan Show. First with *House of the Rising Sun* and then *Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood* Live shows from the 60s and hearing the girls screaming before the singing is the best.
Loved the Ed Sullivan show, about the only place we got to see our bands along with American Bandstand and most of these were lip syncing. Happy to have that even back then.
@@marthahanley6650 Yes, I remember and also Smother's Brothers and Sonny and Cher show had bands on. Had to sit through Lawrence Welk for the parents and then we got Disney and the rest. :-)
Fantastic reaction as usual! Please Harri, check out the Animals doing Burdon's song " San Franciscan Night ". I recall loving it when it 1st came out and savoring it to this day. The lyrics paint a vivid picture while the melody takes you away.
I totally agree with you Harri! Eric Burden does not look like that voice would come out of his mouth! I heard their music dozens of times before I ever saw them perform and I couldn’t believe this was the guy I had been listening to! 😂 Great reaction 🌺✌️
The great Irish vocalist Eric Burdon, takes me back to 1966. I was just drafted into the Vietnam war, almost immediately after my senior year in High school, at just 18 yrs old. When over there, we played this song on a cheap turntable one of the guys had his parents send over to him from the states. This song was our Anthem." Burden's gritty and forceful vocals were just what we liked. We really did wanna get outta this place. some of my Buddies, never got to go home. This song has both it's good memories of that time, and some very sad ones as well. Thank you Harri.
Late 60s through the 70s Eric Burdon and the Animals had so many hits from the Animals then Eric Burdon and the Animals then Eric Burdon and War just hit after hit
Eric burdon vocal,Chas chandler bass.Alan price keyboards.john steel drums.Hilton Valentine guitar.Chas died several years ago.Alan left the band in 1966.Hilton died jan292021.Eric still performs .check out winds of change album 1968.
THE ANIMALS, "WE GOT TOO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE" MY 2ND FAVORITE TUNE BY THEM. NEXT TOO "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN"... ERIC BURDEN AND HIS VOICE IS FIRE... also The Animals Greatest Hits was my First Album I first Bought...1968... Eric Burden AND War, "Spill the Wine"...
I just recently found out that he sand Spill The Wine......Crazy to me!!!!!!!!!...Never Knew!!...Check out his 2019 concert in Paris..Animals Live...at 80...He sounds AWESOME STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You mentioned this reminding you of the Stones. Ironic, because I’ve heard this song no telling how many times, and as I was listening to it here, I was wondering if Jim Morrison was influenced by Eric Burdon.
You need to react to the Dave Clark Five they were the second band to come to the United States just about the same time the Beatles did during the British Invasion Dave Clark was the only one of that time who owned his own music so he was able to go onto the Ed Sullivan Show numerous times owning his own music he didn't get screwed out of royalties like a lot of those early groups did The Kinks got totally screwed
North East England in the 60s was a rough place where men worked in the coal mines or shipyards doing hard physical graft. You wanted to get away from it.
I also wish some of these songs were longer! You might consider "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". Also "Spill the Wine" by War (Eric Burdon on lead vocals)
Now here's a longer song! No one ever reacts to it either. Mother Earth. This one is with his band War. Horn is fantastic and it's a great blues piece. ruclips.net/video/blIwmiDyXc8/видео.html The only live version with War is only a 5 minute clip so better to listen to this studio version. Appreciate you! I always enjoy watching your reactions.
Classic, I agree his voice was unique. Back in the '60s and '70s artists had talent and not just looks. Again I recommend the classic summer of love song by Eric Burden and the Animals (as they were now called), the iconic 'San Franciscan Nights.' It starts with the unusual 9 notes that began the TV show "Dragnet". They had a LOT of change of members & disbanded several times, this configuration left the blues behind and went more for the psychedelic sound. Here's a list of their many lineups: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Animals#Lineups
I remember this one, old, but good 👍but I find that the older music is better than the new music anymore. Sad really, that technology has destroyed music by taking out talent.
Working class people in Britain had a terrible time after the war; jobs left, mining was dirty and unhealthy, Liverpool, for example, once a great commercial location was devastated....that's what happens when economies crash. Hopelessness. Men need to work. Women often have to work outside the home, but men NEED to work. But they don't need to be crushed by it.
Harri, I have to disagree with your analysis. I think the song is indeed about physical dying. First he talks about his daddy in bed who is dying because he has worked himself to death. Second, early death was a way of life (no pun intended) in places where mining or other dangerous occupations were the main form of employment in some villages and town before today's safety regulations were in place. Also keep in mind that much of England was bombed to rubble during the second World War and there were villages that survived any way that they could even after the war because it took a long time for them to be rebuilt so a person did whatever they had to do to earn money to feed their family even if it meant a man worked himself to death. It was a way of life that fortunately most of us will never know.
Vietnam 1966-67, you'd better believe this song was heard and sung a LOT!

I was drafted and sent to NAM in'72.
Last song every night!!

Sky Pilot is very interesting, especially the full version.

I was 13..I miss them too!
Eric Burden with that voice and the whole band was great, very roots of emerging rock

"Sky Pilot" is incredible. But I also love their "Don't Bring Me Down" - a Carole King song.

@@shelter9236 CBS prime time on Sundays. I doubt that any TV were not watching the show. Not much competition back then. :P

@@marthahanley6650 Unfortunately there was Bonanza. I never got to watch Ed Sullivan because my mom had the hots for Little Joe. Pfooey!!!
Love this one from The Animals! Eric's vocals fantastic as usual! ♥️🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
This was something of an anthem for the guys in Vietnam.
This song was inspirational to young US soldiers in Vietnam.
The original working class band.. Springsteen was hugely influenced by them
Fantastic reaction as usual! Please Harri, check out the Animals doing Burdon's song " San Franciscan Night ". I recall loving it when it 1st came out and savoring it to this day. The lyrics paint a vivid picture while the melody takes you away.

North East England not irish
My dad always says when he was in boot camp (late 60s), this was basically their unofficial anthem.
In Vietnam this was one of our favorite songs
You're not greedy, you're just right.
Great voice. Thank you for appreciating the talent from earlier days!
Harri......thanks multiple times! This song got me through several institutions of "higher learning back in the 60's".😂🤫
It's a Vietnam song. Glad you reacted to this
The Animals' bassist, Chas Chandler, was Jimi Hendrix's manager and took him to London in 1966. Love the 60's fashions.
Great reaction. I agree there is a Rolling Stone sound here. ❤ fun song!
Check out "When I was Young", and "Sky Pilot"
Late 60s through the 70s Eric Burdon and the Animals had so many hits from the Animals then Eric Burdon and the Animals then Eric Burdon and War just hit after hit
I forgot how good these guys were. His voice is amazing.
BURDON WAS BORN TO SING,another genius discovered during the english invasion,remarkable talent
Eric burdon vocal,Chas chandler bass.Alan price keyboards.john steel drums.Hilton Valentine guitar.Chas died several years ago.Alan left the band in 1966.Hilton died jan292021.Eric still performs .check out winds of change album 1968.
This song to me is about Wanderlust, and the desire to make your own circumstances rather than accept the status quo.
“Angel’s sing, leather wings. . . “
San Francisco Nights
It's My Life... best pop song of 60's
That was a quick reaction.i am glad you enjoyed it Harri.i enjoyed hearing it again and hope your crowd of flolloers did too
Eric Burden and War - Spill The Wine!
Oh Eric Burdon. Gotta love him!
If you think about it, getting out of here is the last thing we ever do.
THE ANIMALS, "WE GOT TOO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE" MY 2ND FAVORITE TUNE BY THEM. NEXT TOO "HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN"... ERIC BURDEN AND HIS VOICE IS FIRE... also The Animals Greatest Hits was my First Album I first Bought...1968... Eric Burden AND War, "Spill the Wine"...
@taddeo ruggerio Indeed that's why this was my 1st album in 1968...
"When I was young"
It's been decades since I've heard this, and the first thing I though was ... Jim Morrison
Sky Pilot!
Agreed, great singer, great song, great voice, vital band from the 60s so-called "British Invasion".
The Animals sang songs that reflected the times and war. They always had a message and thought-provoking lyrics.
Anthem of the short timer in Vietnam.
I don't know who you are, Harri, but you're lovely, and Eric Burdon and the Animals were fantastic!
Love those British invasion bands!
I just recently found out that he sand Spill The Wine......Crazy to me!!!!!!!!!...Never Knew!!...Check out his 2019 concert in Paris..Animals Live...at 80...He sounds AWESOME STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your song choices and your “chill” but still enthusiastic reactions are fantastic!
Love Animals - them and CCR were on 8-track rotation in the 70s Jeep when I was growing up.
I'll be honest.. This is how I feel about Florida. We're going covid backwards here seriously. It's true...
You mentioned this reminding you of the Stones. Ironic, because I’ve heard this song no telling how many times, and as I was listening to it here, I was wondering if Jim Morrison was influenced by Eric Burdon.
Story goes war.
"San Franciscan Night".

Please do a reaction to the Rascals. Same period, fabulous soulful voice and just great songs.
Heard the song 100 times. Never seen this video before though. Good gritty 60s sound.
Listen to Eric in the group War. The song is Spill The Wine.
It's called "We Gotta Get Out of This Place".
North East England in the 60s was a rough place where men worked in the coal mines or shipyards doing hard physical graft. You wanted to get away from it.
I also wish some of these songs were longer! You might consider "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". Also "Spill the Wine" by War (Eric Burdon on lead vocals)
Try "When I Was Young."
Next up have a listen to Stevie Wright, lead singer of the Easybeats doing Evie parts 1/2/3.

I totally get The Stones reference.
I remember this one, old, but good 👍but I find that the older music is better than the new music anymore. Sad really, that technology has destroyed music by taking out talent.
I think my favorite of theirs is "I'm Crying". Check that one out.
please react to Iron Maiden Rime of the acncient mariner ( flight 666) you will like it.
