Thank you! I love the Animals. No auto tune. Had one hour to get it done. To the Entitled little punks out there. People used to work for a living Eric Durden's voice is unmatched. It's unique and I hope more people will listen to the keyboard. File is one that took off with the money huge lawsuits. All kinds of stuff that's why they didn't stay together. He felt he deserved more of the royalties because of the part. He played that song. Which is sickening the air Durden? He's still got a deep voice and great guy. Lot of fun, very humble grew up in Scotland his mother from Ireland father from England and had a horrific horrific childhood living in the slums because they lived at the bottom so if you lived at the bottom. Well, everything has to land doesn't it? That should give you your picture right there, so him and Eric Durden, the drama are the ones that started that band out innocent, so keep up the good work, thank you for letting us hear the song all the way through. That's what everybody needs to start doing. I should start doing reactions to you kids as music. Great guy, I don't know where the fountain has come from, naked activity. And it's breaks my heart so have a good day
Because they weren't "making" videos - as in today's videos. They were simply filming performances. Very different. Young man, back then the grups were comprised of actual musicians. Good to see you appreciate that!! One of the best white soul voices of all times. They were super big and had many big hits. Listen to more!!
You're listening to history. The Animals are likely the very first Rock n Roll band in history. They basically began rock n roll, it changed everything. For us it's different because we've grown up with rock n roll but can you imagine living in the 60's and hearing this for first time ever? It would blow your mind. You'd be like what is that I'm hearing? Great choice, great reaction to a great song and band. Cheers... :)
Eric Burdon respected Sam Cooke so much, days after his murder, he took his band and recorded/covered a masterpiece of his in tribute, BRING IT ON HOME TO ME! Also, u might want to listen to another hit of theirs, WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE! Guaranteed mind-blowing songs! I'm 70 now, but, as a teen, this band, along with the Beatles and others, are what brought me along. STILL listening to them ALL! Lol!
@@evelynmabe7877 Otis Redding did Sitting on the Dock of the Bay (actually one of my favourite songs of all time). Sam Cooke (my favourite all time singer along with Eric Burdon, lead singer of The Animals) had one of the most beautiful smooth soulful voices. If you haven't already listened to him in the past 3 years please do, you're in for a treat. Start off lsitening to Bring it on home by both Sam Cooke and the version by The Animals, both stunning.
@@evelynmabe7877 I love it too! In fact anything with Eric singing on it is FINE by me ;-). My current faves to listen to of his at the moment are Smokestack Lightning., Hit The Road Jack, Bring it on Home, Rock me Baby, Send You Back to Walker, I Believe to My Soul, Tobacco Road (The Animals & War versions) to name but a few
One of the most Iconic bands from the 60s. They were part of the “British Invasion”. The singer, Eric Burdon is recognized as one of the British Invasion's most unique singers with his deep, powerful blues-rock voice. One of my favorite bands from the era. You should listen to “We Gotta Get out of This Place” and “ Don’t let me be misunderstood “
My all time favorite song! First heard it in 1964 when I was 15. Now, in 2020, it’s my iPhone ringtone. Eric Burdon’s voice was epic....and no auto tune
This is the group that knocked the Beetles off the #1 spot on the the charts with House of the Rising Sun. Eric Burdon was 23 when he sang this song. They did this song in the studio in one take. All of them did an outstanding job. The Animals only stayed together a couple of years. Tensions within the group, but Eric Burdon has gone on with a long career with several different bands. All of them were great. Eric will be 80 on May 11, 2021.
My Husband was a Professional Bass Player, (Musician), he could play anything, except JAZZ! He was self taught! He started out at 5 years old. By 10, his family had a Gospel spot on our local radio station. Funny, I listened to him as a child! EVERY SUNDAY MORNING! WSUN! I believe music in born into the soul! A true Musician is self taught! Because they live it, breath it, and crave it! And Musicians are perfectionists!!! My husband would listen to song, and have it memorized by day's end. EXACTLY like the song! That is self taught! He had a hard time keeping a solid band together, everybody wanted to be star! My husband was about the music! It was play it like it's written, or don't play it!
@@p.millard557 Thank You. Yes, he was very talented! He taught my kids how to play House of the rising sun on the keyboard, one of their fondest memories of him! And my Grandson wants to play guitar, hes 8. He told me, I sure wish Grand Daddy was here to teach me, I know he was the best!
This was played in the movie "Casino" and what a great choice it was! This song never goes out of date and is one you never tire of hearing. Total, complete eargasm!
It was, and relating to that I have always wondered what lead guitarist Hilton Valentine was smiling at towards the end of the video. I found out why recently; as you say, the vid was done in one take, but to get that final shot of keyboardist Alan Price at the front of the band, they had to move him and his keyboard to a new position whilst still playing. That is why singer Eric and the two guitarists pause their walk, to allow time off-camera for the keyboardist and the keyboard to be pushed to the front whilst Alan continued to play. That is what starts Hilton Valentine grinning, the funny sight of the keyboard being pushed with Alan still playing it!!
It still happens today, Just need some really talented people involved. Weird Al Yankovic parody song to Happy called Tacky he filmed it all in one shot, and it was even more impressive because they were moving between floors in the building.
First time on your channel, bro, and I'm already likin what I'm hearing. Your comments early in the video showed you were a true musician. You appreciate the work that goes into a song, even if it might not be what you're into. I can appreciate that. Subbed.
I think the guitarist is grinning like a Cheshire cat, because he can see the stage hands moving the organ to the front of the stage. That's quite a simple pattern of 7 in 6/8 time (1, 2 and 3, 4, 5, 6). As a fingerstyle guitar song it ranks as "Beginner", but when you play it, you feel like a boss!
60s classic rock is a golden era, like mid to late 90s hip hop. There is a gold mine of great music in both eras. You cant go wrong diving down a rabbit hole of either.
Eric burdon vocal Chas chandler bass Hilton Valentine guitar Alan price keyboard john steel drums Chas died several years ago ,Alan left the band in 1966. Eric still performs.this group had many different players but were the best band to come out of the British invasion.check out wind of change album done in 1968.
'You got to put the work in'. No truer words have ever been spoken R R. The electric piano/organ with its telltale sign of its inverted color scheme on the keyboard (ebony on the natural keys/ivory on the half notes) is a Vox Continental. In case you want to check out an app for your keyboard. Superb reaction and thank you for sharing, RNB
It definitely sounds like a song Tarantino would use, and that bassist always cracks me up too. This is one of my favorite bands from that era, along with The Kinks.
a lot of great music emerged in early 60s in UK (Stones, Beatles, Animals, Them, etc..) because of the influence from US R&B. Mainstream USA didn't become aware until it was brought back to the USA by the brits.
The song is centuries old, this version is from 64. The video is lipsynched, but the actually recording that they are lipsynching to was done in 10 minutes and in one take. So you are listening to one, single take. It's pretty amazing to me. I love so many of the Animals songs. I absolutely love Eric Burdon. Try Eric Burdon and War "Spill the Wine " (Beat Club video) from 1970.
From Connecticut I was 9 years old in 1964. The house of the rising sun is my favorite song of the animals. They only did one take in the studio for this song. It cost them 34 dollars.
Lead singer's name is Eric Burdon and his voice is just awesome! I was a teenage of 14 when the song was released and let me tell ye it never gets old. I keep listening to it hundred times on the daily basis! I luv them!
That voice is Eric Burdon. Also, every kid with a guitar learned this lick. Long live the garage band! (Cameras were the size of a small oven and probably heavier. 30 years ago kids had better recording technology in their bedroom than what was used to record the rock music of the Golden Age.)
If you like hearing sick keyboard/organ parts, you’d love The Doors. Most people would turn you to their popular stuff like “Light My Fire” and “Touch Me”, but personally I prefer their less popular stuff like “Five To One”, “When The Music’s Over”, “The Unknown Soldier”, and “Back Door Man”. Still though, Light My Fire has probably one of the most recognizable keyboard tunes ever. Keep expanding your horizons man!
This is the music I came of age to, love seeing you younger folks discover and appreciate it! Avi Kaplan , formerly of Pentatonix , does an great cover of this!
omg I feel so old... this song came out 4 years before I was born. My father loved playing it and I have always enjoyed it as well. Thank you for sharing your time and yourself with the world.
Came here for Tool ... and rage too... but now I’m realizing you just love good music so I look forward to making other recommendations moving forward . Lot of greatness in the history of music
This was shot in one take as they didn't have the money for another take video and sound, pure talent from them all. The reason the guy is smiling is, off-screen the stagehands moved the keyboardist around to the front for last shot while he was still playing the organ.
My Hubby was a professional Bass Player, union member, His number one was the DRUMMER! Bass and Drums have to be tight! The rest, falls into place, or mistakes can be COVERED by the BASS or the DRUMS! It's funny, I took 3 years of Chorus in school, and I knew nothing about music, only vocals! He taught me how to pick out each instrument! MAN, gave me a whole new look into music! He would stand on stage, doing songs like this, for hours, holding up a 35 pound Bass! (Pevy) I so miss it! He passed Valentine's Day 2017, Vietnam finally claimed him! Today, I watch these videos, and I think, MAN, HTF did he do it????
I've read on the Internet, that the organ player for The Animals, had his organ custom-made at the factory, to meet his performance specifications. During the solo, the sound of the keys don't blend in together. They are separate, distinct notes. That was most likely a technological breakthrough for organs in 1964. If you are going to buy an organ or synthesizer keyboard, and any equipment to go with it, you will definitely want to do your research. Try to find out which organ/synthesizer players are your favorites, find out how they got their sound out of their equipment, and then get the equipment you want that will create the sound that you want to perform in concert and on recordings. In my opinion, the best organ/synthesizer players I know of are the late Ray Manzarek (of The Doors), Stevie Wonder (he did a lot of synthesizer work during the time he recorded "Superstition" in the 1970s), Ralph Hutter and the late Florian Schneider of the German Techno-Pop band, Kraftwerk (which is German for "Power Plant"), and Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart (of the British/Scottish Rock duo, Eurythmics) . Honorable mentions also go to British synthesizer player Vince Clarke (of Erasure, Yaz, and Depeche Mode) and the late Jonathan Lord (the organ player for the British Heavy Metal band, Deep Purple). My three favorite songs by The Animals, in addition to this one, are "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life", and "See See Rider". Honorable mention: "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place".
Phoenix AZ I love this song by the Animals. British band. They made their record in 1 take cause they couldn't afford to pay for more. House of the Rising Sun was a brothel, music, gambling place. No they had no computers, autotune, etc. It's just talent.
We gotta to get out of this place, Don't Let Me be Misunderstood, and It's my Life are my favorites from them. And there is always Spill the Wine when he was with War. It's super trippy.
Re-creating this song would be cool, man. It’s an old folk song that has been made many times over throughout American history, this version being the most popular. You’d be joining a long list of American musicians to find inspiration in it. Another American classic that has been done/used by many artists (including Kanye), check out “I Got A Woman” - and do Ray Charles version, it’s the best.
You really do young man. The work is the game. The game means nothing without the work. I was born in 1964 by the way. These guys exemplify integrity and authenticity. That's what it takes to be timeless and loved for your game. Great take I really enjoyed watching and listening to your viewpoints.
You should know that almost every male singer in the 1960' admired black musicians and singers of the day that they developed an adaptation of and to their own sound from that point. There is no race in music. Just great enjoyment for everyone. "Don't Let Me Be MIsunderstood" is one of their best. Lead singer is Eric Burden. Later he was in another group named "Eric Burden and War". Take a listen to Edwin Starr singing "War". Vietnam protest song that will be relevant today. This is the one I would make a RAP version from.
Hello Colorado here and Please don't let me be misunderstood is also a good one from them. They were very much in 1964 at the very beginning of the video era
Love The Animals and Eric Burdon. He also sang with the group WAR in the 1970’s. Anything by WAR is good to me. Cisco Kid, Slippin’ into Darkness and Spill the Wine with Eric Burdon. He’s still alive. I was 14 or 15 when I first heard them and that was in the early 60’s. Have loved them ever since.
the singer is Eric Burdon, back when this was done you had to be good and i mean very good to get anywhere near the big stages and then still hope like hell that you would get signed, no syntheziers for instruments no auto tune for voices, you just had to be GOOD
I like the respect you show I will sub we gotta get out of this place is great too, also Eric Burdon is from my home city Newcastle in the far far north of England makes me proud. Take Care.
The record company didn't want them to record this. They wanted up tempo, catchy, safe pop songs. The Animals started playing this on tour with Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. They wanted to stand out, and chose this song to do it. They spent about 70 US dollars recording it on a day off from the tour. It took fifteen minutes to record it. They did a short sound check, as a run through to set the levels on the board. The house engineer had ZERO experience recording anything electric. This was his first time. The video seen here was filmed AFTER the song was an unexpected hit. Interesting post script is that Bob Dylan, who still hadn't made the jump to electric guitar, was going to record a version of it. But then The Animals released their version. It's been said that although Dylan was disappointed, it was this version they was his inspiration to finally go electric. Which at the time was a pretty big deal in the music business. Sadly, this song was the beginning of the end for them. Arranging credit went only to keyboardist Alan Price. According to Burdon, this was because there was no room to name all 5 members on the record label, Alan's first name was first alphabetically. But this meant that only Price received songwriter's royalties for it, and it caused bitterness amongst them ever since. The music business, even back then, was a vicious cesspool and cutthroat. *PS - All apologies for the length of this comment. 😂
I like your reaction. Eric Burdon is a great blues fan. At school, he had a notebook with blues songs lyrics. Sure he's one of the greatest singers.He took his inspiration from Afro-Americans blues singers like Muddy Waters. You should try I can't be satisfied by this singer From the Animals,Inside looking out or It's my life. Have a nice day, from Paris, France
This clip was filmed in 1964 or 65 as part of a UK colour film called Pop Gear for paying theatre release. This explains the early high quality color images we luckily have for this mimed from the record performance and also a few other top UK only music artists from when the film was made. RUclips has quite a few segments from this UK movie Pop Gear with the US contribution being to re title it Go Go Mania and add a few intro segments to satisfy the US audience. A RUclips search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments : ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=pop+gear+go+go+mania The intro by TCM explains the background of the film. While some of these segments were likely to be shown on US Colour TV much later , the source would originally be this high quality film. Rising Sun is the standout, but the Honeycombs with Have I the Right is a landmark too, In 1964 images not recorded on film would be much lower quality videotape, not the notable quality images used here. Especially with the inferior US NTSC standards often called Never The Same Colour. So lucky the film was made instead of relying on low standard video tape recordings that were usually taped over anyway to save tape cost money or made by filming a TV screen with poor quality results. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. A better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source in RUclips postings these days. These films mainly used mimed performances as the vast majority of theatre audiences wanted to hear the music performance as they knew it from the records. Hope this helps people who have the colorized and vidoetape theories that usually pop up.
I was born in nov 63 right in the middle of Beatlemania so from a baby when the radio was on all day, by the end of the 60s, i had heard the greatest music ever made and on into the 70s ,the music was just more real back then.
They aren’t videos in the tradition of mtv, these were performances for a show they were booked on. Look up different variety shows of the time in the states and England. That is an electric organ

These young guys were from Newcastle in the North of England. You'd never suspect it in this song.
The lead singer, Eric Burdon is now 80 years old, a great grandfather, and still out there performing and killing it today! :)

No joke but my best friend Justin is Eric’s current bass player. ✌️💗😊
Saw him in Vegas a few years back, and still kicked it hard!!!!

@@RAHONLYFAM I'm impress of your reaction , and you are such good looking man!
So many folks in this generation have no idea what they missed when music was like this.
Song is a pure classic. Pure Talent and band arrangement. Eric Burdons voice is priceless
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I love the Animals. No auto tune. Had one hour to get it done.
To the Entitled little punks out there. People used to work for a living Eric Durden's voice is unmatched. It's unique and I hope more people will listen to the keyboard. File is one that took off with the money huge lawsuits. All kinds of stuff that's why they didn't stay together. He felt he deserved more of the royalties because of the part. He played that song. Which is sickening the air Durden? He's still got a deep voice and great guy. Lot of fun, very humble grew up in Scotland his mother from Ireland father from England and had a horrific horrific childhood living in the slums because they lived at the bottom so if you lived at the bottom. Well, everything has to land doesn't it? That should give you your picture right there, so him and Eric Durden, the drama are the ones that started that band out innocent, so keep up the good work, thank you for letting us hear the song all the way through. That's what everybody needs to start doing. I should start doing reactions to you kids as music. Great guy, I don't know where the fountain has come from, naked activity.

Smart young man, very intuitive. I was maybe your age when I saw them live. Thank you for appreciating the past❤️
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" or "Don't Bring Me Down" should be the next songs from them.
Yep! Don’t let me be misunderstood. ✨✨✨
Most of the early 60’s British Invasion bands were big fans of American R&B. Especially Blues.
This is everyone's fav Animals song. Don't let me be misunderstood is pretty fucking cool too.
Both songs 🔥🔥
Enjoy hearing your analysis. You’re generous in your praise. They were in their early 20’s then, one take.
It definitely sounds like a song Tarantino would use, and that bassist always cracks me up too. This is one of my favorite bands from that era, along with The Kinks.
Yeah your right Kill Bill had a cover of House of the rising sun with a female singer on the soundtrack
a lot of great music emerged in early 60s in UK (Stones, Beatles, Animals, Them, etc..) because of the influence from US R&B. Mainstream USA didn't become aware until it was brought back to the USA by the brits.

Most people would turn you to their popular stuff like “Light My Fire” and “Touch Me”, but personally I prefer their less popular stuff like “Five To One”, “When The Music’s Over”, “The Unknown Soldier”, and “Back Door Man”. Still though, Light My Fire has probably one of the most recognizable keyboard tunes ever. Keep expanding your horizons man!
Preciate that 💯💯
Love 5 to 1!
Theanimals were a big influence on the DOORS-ask robby Krieger
❤️ 5 to 1 - yes he definitely needs to react to The Doors!
This is the music I came of age to, love seeing you younger folks discover and appreciate it! Avi Kaplan , formerly of Pentatonix , does an great cover of this!
Homeboy is doing a freaking solo on a church piano/organ 😮😅😂
My favorite Animals song is We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.
omg I feel so old... this song came out 4 years before I was born. My father loved playing it and I have always enjoyed it as well. Thank you for sharing your time and yourself with the world.
Came here for Tool ... and rage too... but now I’m realizing you just love good music so I look forward to making other recommendations moving forward . Lot of greatness in the history of music
Preciate u bruh 💯💯
This was shot in one take as they didn't have the money for another take video and sound, pure talent from them all. The reason the guy is smiling is, off-screen the stagehands moved the keyboardist around to the front for last shot while he was still playing the organ.
The footage for this was done in "Black & White" and it has been "Colourized" only recently.
GOTTA GET OUTTA THIS PLACE is my next best song by the Animals
Eric Burdon also was the lead singer of the band War...check it out.
My Hubby was a professional Bass Player, union member, His number one was the DRUMMER! Bass and Drums have to be tight! The rest, falls into place, or mistakes can be COVERED by the BASS or the DRUMS! It's funny, I took 3 years of Chorus in school, and I knew nothing about music, only vocals! He taught me how to pick out each instrument! MAN, gave me a whole new look into music! He would stand on stage, doing songs like this, for hours, holding up a 35 pound Bass! (Pevy) I so miss it! He passed Valentine's Day 2017, Vietnam finally claimed him! Today, I watch these videos, and I think, MAN, HTF did he do it????
this is my favorite song I first heard this in 2004 when i was 14
Awesome reaction brother more where that came from😎🤙
Preciate it! What should be the next Animals reaction ?
I've read on the Internet, that the organ player for The Animals, had his organ custom-made at the factory, to meet his performance specifications. During the solo, the sound of the keys don't blend in together. They are separate, distinct notes. That was most likely a technological breakthrough for organs in 1964. If you are going to buy an organ or synthesizer keyboard, and any equipment to go with it, you will definitely want to do your research. Try to find out which organ/synthesizer players are your favorites, find out how they got their sound out of their equipment, and then get the equipment you want that will create the sound that you want to perform in concert and on recordings. In my opinion, the best organ/synthesizer players I know of are the late Ray Manzarek (of The Doors), Stevie Wonder (he did a lot of synthesizer work during the time he recorded "Superstition" in the 1970s), Ralph Hutter and the late Florian Schneider of the German Techno-Pop band, Kraftwerk (which is German for "Power Plant"), and Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart (of the British/Scottish Rock duo, Eurythmics) . Honorable mentions also go to British synthesizer player Vince Clarke (of Erasure, Yaz, and Depeche Mode) and the late Jonathan Lord (the organ player for the British Heavy Metal band, Deep Purple).
My three favorite songs by The Animals, in addition to this one, are "Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life", and "See See Rider". Honorable mention: "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place".
Phoenix AZ I love this song by the Animals. British band. They made their record in 1 take cause they couldn't afford to pay for more. House of the Rising Sun was a brothel, music, gambling place. No they had no computers, autotune, etc. It's just talent.
I rock with it “it’s simple “ SIMPLE !👏 👏 👏
We gotta to get out of this place, Don't Let Me be Misunderstood, and It's my Life are my favorites from them. And there is always Spill the Wine when he was with War. It's super trippy.
Added to the list 💯💯
I'm 60 miles west of St.Louis Missouri and my favorite Animal's song is Sky Pilot.
Shoutout to Missouri 🔥💯💯
This Song was in the movie "Casino" (1995).
Still one of the best from the 60s. Eric Burdon is a great talent and Alan Price (piano) is just... priceless.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Those vocals are almost second to none. Just an epic sounding delivery.
Posting from the Chi.
This reaction was spectacular!
I'm living this one with ya and liked it
Joe cocker live at Woodstock , a little hel from my friends
Or ten years after- I’m going home- live
You got me in a 60s vibe
Ol song like this never gets old...
Great reaction, one of my all time favorite songs and keyboard solo..
Enjoyed your reaction.🌻
Re-creating this song would be cool, man. It’s an old folk song that has been made many times over throughout American history, this version being the most popular. You’d be joining a long list of American musicians to find inspiration in it.
Another American classic that has been done/used by many artists (including Kanye), check out “I Got A Woman” - and do Ray Charles version, it’s the best.
🔥🔥🔥 got u
You really do young man. The work is the game. The game means nothing without the work. I was born in 1964 by the way. These guys exemplify integrity and authenticity. That's what it takes to be timeless and loved for your game. Great take I really enjoyed watching and listening to your viewpoints.
This VERSION is 56 years old. The song is older than that
You should know that almost every male singer in the 1960' admired black musicians and singers of the day that they developed an adaptation of and to their own sound from that point. There is no race in music. Just great enjoyment for everyone. "Don't Let Me Be MIsunderstood" is one of their best. Lead singer is Eric Burden. Later he was in another group named "Eric Burden and War". Take a listen to Edwin Starr singing "War". Vietnam protest song that will be relevant today. This is the one I would make a RAP version from.
Hello Colorado here and Please don't let me be misunderstood is also a good one from them. They were very much in 1964 at the very beginning of the video era
Shoutout to Colorado 💯
Love The Animals and Eric Burdon. He also sang with the group WAR in the 1970’s. Anything by WAR is good to me. Cisco Kid, Slippin’ into Darkness and Spill the Wine with Eric Burdon. He’s still alive. I was 14 or 15 when I first heard them and that was in the early 60’s. Have loved them ever since.
the singer is Eric Burdon, back when this was done you had to be good and i mean very good to get anywhere near the big stages and then still hope like hell that you would get signed, no syntheziers for instruments no auto tune for voices, you just had to be GOOD
On ya, Rah. Genuine reaction full of respect. Respect.
Great stuff - subbed, much love from Wales.
Preciate that fam! Shoutout to Wales 🔥
Great reaction. Love this group.
I like the respect you show I will sub we gotta get out of this place is great too, also Eric Burdon is from my home city Newcastle in the far far north of England makes me proud. Take Care.
Preciate that alot 💯 s/o to England 🏴
❤❤great reaction❤❤ thank you!
The record company didn't want them to record this. They wanted up tempo, catchy, safe pop songs. The Animals started playing this on tour with Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. They wanted to stand out, and chose this song to do it. They spent about 70 US dollars recording it on a day off from the tour. It took fifteen minutes to record it. They did a short sound check, as a run through to set the levels on the board. The house engineer had ZERO experience recording anything electric. This was his first time. The video seen here was filmed AFTER the song was an unexpected hit. Interesting post script is that Bob Dylan, who still hadn't made the jump to electric guitar, was going to record a version of it. But then The Animals released their version. It's been said that although Dylan was disappointed, it was this version they was his inspiration to finally go electric. Which at the time was a pretty big deal in the music business. Sadly, this song was the beginning of the end for them. Arranging credit went only to keyboardist Alan Price. According to Burdon, this was because there was no room to name all 5 members on the record label, Alan's first name was first alphabetically. But this meant that only Price received songwriter's royalties for it, and it caused bitterness amongst them ever since. The music business, even back then, was a vicious cesspool and cutthroat.
*PS - All apologies for the length of this comment. 😂
I like your reaction. Eric Burdon is a great blues fan. At school, he had a notebook with blues songs lyrics. Sure he's one of the greatest singers.He took his inspiration from Afro-Americans blues singers like Muddy Waters. You should try I can't be satisfied by this singer
From the Animals,Inside looking out or It's my life.
Have a nice day, from Paris, France
Road to 7K, grind on King Rah!
Preciate u dawg 💯💯 7K on the way !
Eric Burdon is the vocalist. He's got some crazy talent.
🔥🔥🔥
Love that travelling bass
The song goes back to the 1860s and was originally sung by a woman using the word "gal" instead of "boy". Burdon changed it since he was singing it.
This clip was filmed in 1964 or 65 as part of a UK colour film called Pop Gear for paying theatre release. This explains the early high quality color images we luckily have for this mimed from the record performance and also a few other top UK only music artists from when the film was made.
RUclips has quite a few segments from this UK movie Pop Gear with the US contribution being to re title it Go Go Mania and add a few intro segments to satisfy the US audience.
A RUclips search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments :
ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=pop+gear+go+go+mania
The intro by TCM explains the background of the film. While some of these segments were likely to be shown on US Colour TV much later , the source would originally be this high quality film.
Rising Sun is the standout, but the Honeycombs with Have I the Right is a landmark too,
In 1964 images not recorded on film would be much lower quality videotape, not the notable quality images used here. Especially with the inferior US NTSC standards often called Never The Same Colour.
So lucky the film was made instead of relying on low standard video tape recordings that were usually taped over anyway to save tape cost money or made by filming a TV screen with poor quality results. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. A better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source in RUclips postings these days.
These films mainly used mimed performances as the vast majority of theatre audiences wanted to hear the music performance as they knew it from the records.
Hope this helps people who have the colorized and vidoetape theories that usually pop up.
I was born in nov 63 right in the middle of Beatlemania so from a baby when the radio was on all day, by the end of the 60s, i had heard the greatest music ever made and on into the 70s ,the music was just more real back then.
The bassist (in the back) "discovered" Jimmy Hendrix and gave him his big shot
🔥🔥
They aren’t videos in the tradition of mtv, these were performances for a show they were booked on. Look up different variety shows of the time in the states and England. That is an electric organ
There is a Lot of great stuff out there 😍😍😍
this is my favorite Animals song..The next would be... "' When i was young" ... 1967...It's got that killer edge to it also.
Love your commentary! You Rock.
Eric Burden my friend... Peace
Great song
No Flash.. No Braggadocia........... just smooth talent
