The best part of this song is the fact that it was recorded in one take. Perfect!
And remember, this was before auto tune. That's his real voice. Eric Burdon is a legend.
there is no microphone and none of the instruments are even plugged in............ it's called dubbing.
@@JuandeFucaUExactly !! its 100% dubbed..but great tune otherwise.
Wow one take that is amazing 👍👍👍👍
One take in the studio. This is mimed.
If this was done in one take then please explain how the keyboardist is in completely different place at the end?
Yo Eric Burdon was BORN middle aged. Man was 22 going on 60 here
Yeah but he looks like 14 LOL
if you think THAT, try Colter Wall. Sleeping on the Black Top. He was 20!
How about Doctor my eyes written by Jackson Browne when he was 16
great line. just great music.
That ‘old soul’ Eric Burdon, still going strong at age 82, currently touring in 2024. Though made several years before I was born, grew up hearing the song. And like many who weren’t around in the 60’s, was absolutely shocked by Eric’s youthful appearance when I first saw him in this video.
This was the 60's, the tv executives wanted the bands to be solemn on the shows because they thought that was what their audience would want. Nice reaction Young Lady, talk all you want. You have a soothing voice.
Strangely in this case I feel the solemnity fits the song.
The American TV networks had nothing to do with the bands of the 60s and 70s demeanor. I spent two decades working at a major alphabet network and equal time in music. The bass player for the Animals went on to manage Jimi Hendrix.
This was the first non-Beatles British invasion song to hit number 1 I. The US
Aileen the music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s,s was amazing...so many amazing songs, will take you sometime going through it all...if you need any help drip me a line
Everyone should check out the version by "the weavers".
There have been many recordings of this song, but their version is truly unique !
That tall bass player was Jimmy Hendrix's manager. ❤🤍💙
Chas Chandler who in the 70’s went on to manage the hugely successful Slade who were the biggest selling singles artist of the 70’s
Really? That's a cool bit of trivia!
“We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “Don’t Bring Me Down” are all excellent songs by the Animals. Eric Burton went on to a solo career and with the band War later as well. “Drink the Wine” is a good one.
I always loved "Sky Pilot." A song about the Vietnam War.
Spill the Wine*
And “It’s My Life” is a kind of anthem of the generation.
“It’s My Life” and “Sky Pilot” are great too.
When I was young, a pretty unknown song.
Eric was a beast vocally, even at this young age. Incredible….
You weren't born in the wrong time, you're born in a great time with the opportunity and technology to check out all of the greatest music ever produced.
Eric Burdon sounds like he has lived a lifetime; if you just heard the song and didn't see him, you would never know he was in his early 20s
Pretty sure, although i could be wrong, he was a young teenager when he wrote the words that became this song we hear now
@@haventthoughtofanameyet6364 this is a very old american song; they just recorded it with their own interpretation.
One of the true timeless classics of pop music. Eric Burdon's voice was insane. And Alan Price at the organ is rocking it!
Try to find the original from the 1930s and listen to it .
@@jondaley2588 Will try, thx!
Probably one of the top 10 rock songs ever made. The definition of a timeless classic.
Eric Burdon - one of Britains best Blues voices of the 60's. So iconic, the song and this version. I love it.
Iconic enough for many bands to cover it.
My favorite of those covers is by Five Finger Death Punch. They do some really amazing covers, that one included.
It's always funny to see people discover old classics. I remember loving this song as a kid 30 years ago (and have ever since). Crazy to think it was already 30 years old at the time!
Yep, I’m 38 and first heard it when I was probably 7 or 8. My mom raised me on all the music she grew up with in the 60’s and 70’s, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
@@ninja_tony Same with my own Mom.
I'm a bit older so I actually do remember feeling really bad when news came out about Karen Carpenter passing away. Mom took it pretty hard and I always liked Karen's voice and the fact that she was also a drummer. I was still a kid but it had some effect.
I am fully aware that many people these days have NO IDEA who The Carpenters are. It's just really sad. Not enough people are raised on the Classics.
Imagine how it is for a 60+ for when these songs were new. I'm seeing so many people discovering the 60's, 70's and even 80's music that they have never heard of, but meant so much to so many in the day.
@@lynjenkins6473 Haha, I can only imagine! Seeing people discover my childhood music (and movies etc) is a guilty pleasure pastime of mine. I love seeing people experiencing my favorite things for the first time.
@@lynjenkins6473 67 here the songs of the era were the backdrop of our youth. The 60's was a very turbulent decade, war, civil rights struggles, assassinations of major political figures, JFK, Malcohm X, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, all murdered within a 5-year period, many believing that it was plot to erase anyone that could bring about real change.
It scared us in a way understanding that the elites would go to any limit to maintain their control.
The Animals has always been one of my favorites. Eric Burdan's voice is absolutely incredibly soulful
Glad to have you back Aileen, you tube and life was empty without your infectious spirit.
Stank face is a compliment. Don't feel bad about it. 😎😎
I saw Eric Burdon 10 years ago, and he still sounded great! He made a lot of great music that still plays over FM airwaves. Yeah, I still listen to radio 🤷♂️
60s bands that have unique sounds not usually mentioned are Blind Faith, Traffic, The Yardbirds, etc.
And Procal Harum!
Before the British Invasion really launched, there was a serious dive into the Blues music of the American South - the Mississippi Delta region in particular - being shared by young bands in England. When groups like the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Kinks, The Zombies, et al arrived on our shores, they were already more influenced by American bluesmen than most of the teens they were playing to. Even the Beatles were playing tunes by Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
The blues had been largely ignored by radio stations in the
U.S., so we thought all the Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc. covers of their songs we were hearing were songs which had originated in England.
The Animals with lead singer Eric Burden were a serious blues band.
Thank You for leting us "tag along" on this Musical Journey of Yours. 🤙
I was 10 yrs old when this song was first released (1964)! Loved it then and love it today ! Thanks for bringing back old memories!
What a great review! I’ve known this song my entire life and loved it. I’m 66. It’s fantastic to witness your appreciation of this classic song performed by this seminal band. I guess I’ll subscribe. 😊
Didn't expect this reaction, BANGING song!
The animals first playing this song was in 1964 at the odeon cinema in Southend in Essex England, Eric said we’re going to play our new song it’s called house of the rising sun, we recorded it a week ago, and it’s the first time anyone else has heard it, the crowd went wild, they played it 3 times, then the singer Eric said “ we’ve got to get off to welcome the star of the show, here he is, CHUCK BERRY, Chuck came on saying how do I follow that, with that he went straight into Johnny B good, and did the duckwalk, all true, I was there that very night
Total Classic song! House of the Rising Sun is iconic and just badass! You nailed it as being really soulful and that elec organ solo is awesome! Thanks for making my day Aileen ❤💛
This is one of my favorite songs ever.
Lead Singer Eric Burdon is powerful in every The Animal's record. "When I Was Young" was a big Fav from 1967. Eric also was with the group War, which released "Spill The Wine" in 1970.
Jimi Hendrix had his last live performance with Eric and War.
"When I Was Young" is my favorite Animals song. It reminds me of my dad.
@@Dragon_Werks awesome, we’re probably the same age, in the ‘60s we used to ride our schwinn bikes through Los Angeles with transistor radios on the handle bars, the music and then beats anything today.
@alieensenpai listen to misunderstood please
You've got to realize that all those years ago, we basically only heard an artist on the radio. Some of us bought the album or 45, other's were lucky enough to see them live. There was no MTV or internet. Occasionally, these taped or live performances were seen, depending on where they were broadcast. TV wasn't the same either, not a massive number of channels.
This song is a really old English Folk song and has been re-written and re-arranged since the 16th Century. This version is based off of a blues version of this song from the 30’s. There is a rich history to this song and on the last verse where he mentions “going back to the old ball and chain” refers to a time in our history where prisoners would wear a shackles anchored to a cannon ball to keep them from escaping the prison. Love this version and love your reactions. “Don’t let me be misunderstood”, “We gotta Get Out Of This Place” and “San Francisco Nights” are some great Animals songs to listen to and Eric Burden who is the lead singer has some great solo stuff and was also in the band called “War”. Another band worth checking out!! “spill the wine” is a great “War” song with Eric Burden as lead vocals. Other “War” songs include “Why Can’t we Be Friends”, “Cisco Kid” and “Low Rider” although Eric Burden was not the singer for those. Enjoy!!
An old English folk song about New Orleans?? That sounds ridiculous.
@@kevinflynn4519 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun take a look at this Wikipedia page. You may be surprised. The version of this song that “The Animals” are playing is a re-telling of a blues version of the song from the 1930’s. But it wasn’t always a song about New Orleans. I loved this song and did some research on the songs origins and were as shocked as you are.
@@kevinflynn4519 The lyrics have changed over the centuries, even since this version was recorded. Folk songs are like living things.
it takes tremendous talent to tap the cymbals so lightly for any amount of time, and he does it flawlessly
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”
Loved that one
Love the way that Eric puts so much power and strength in his voice. But yet, his face shows, like not expression or sign of struggle. Like, it's just a regular Tuesday night. No biggie.
I love the detail about this video.
The drummer is chewing gum.
The keyboardist plays next to the drummer until the end, where he is clear across the room.
And no cables on the guitars, no microphones. Lip-sync to the original studio recording. Kinda funny but still great.
@@dalmac5978so few people pick up on that
And that was what i heard broke the guitarist, the picking up the keyboard and moving him
I love watching your reactions to a bunch of songs I like. my favourite bit is screaming at the iPad telling you to play the goddamn song lol. My wife says I should just play my music from my music library, but I have to admit it’s more fun screaming at the iPad telling you to play the song it’s like watching a sport event when you scream at the team like they can hear you, lol
As a student of guitar, when they teach arpeggios, single sequential strings of the chords, this song is used for that. I've spent hours picking the chords one string at a time to this record, trying to match that rythm.
Love your reaction!
Looking good like always..... The Animals like the Beatlea, the Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark 5 were just a few of the fantastic bands that came across the pond during the US British Invasion.
A great "modern" retelling of a very old folk song. And Eric Burdon, an Englishman with a delta soul.
Man this song just made my day today it was a rough start at work this morning but just hearing this made my morning very much better Another amazing reaction as always ❤🔥
absolutely love this song such a classic
Your thumbnails really are the best with how heartfelt you always look in them 🥹Already can tell this reaction is gonna be so good ❤️
No autotune, real bands real music!
Amen !
I love this. This was the first song that I learnt on guitar when I was 8 years old.
This song has so much ebb and flow and acoustically as a soloist or duet really brings it to life.
Heard many young people say has you did, that they were born in the wrong time, having lived that time 60's,70's it makes me smile to hear it. Yes, it was a great time for music.
This is a true rock classic. Number one in England, the U.S., and Canada when it debuted.
One of my favorite songs.
"Damn that was good." Truer words have never been spoken.
great emotional reaction aileen. "house of the rising sun" by the animals is one of my all time favorites from the 1960s. the eric burdon vocals and band are excellent and the styling, colors, etc of the video represent that time period so well and remind me of the american culture that followed from bands like the carpenters to tv shows like the partridge family, brady bunch, etc when i was very young. if you want to react to an amazing female version of this song, haley reinhart does an amazing job of capturing all the deep soul of this version while reinterpreting in bluesy slowed down way... the a-capella intro is genius and the way haley drops the third chorus down is great not to mention all that rasp, growls and belts that follow through to the end. she placed 3rd on AI in 2011, yet even today, many people consider her performance one of the best ever on that show. i subscribed and look forward to more emotional reactions... good luck with the channel! 😎
Brilliant song and band. They were my Mother's favourite band other than The Beatles. I would recommend "We gotta get out of this place" and "Don't let me be misunderstood" by them too.
Five Finger Death Punch did a cover of this and the video is awesome. Very Mad Max-ish
UFFFF Aileen...un clasico..The Animals!! Gracias x la reaccion...❤👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
This song is very old, its origins can be traced back to an English Folk song, brought to the US sometime in the early 1800s and slightly changed to suit whoever performed it. This version tells of a brothel in New Orleans and The Animals' version is the most well known.
This video clip is a little weird, between some band members walking around the set and the drums and keyboard being moved later in the piece. You can also see the lack of cables on the guitars. It was filmed for a movie (I think it was titled Top Gear or Fab Gear?)
This is the first lineup of The Animals, their gritty sound reflecting their upbringing in the rough neighbourhoods of Newcastle.
After this version of the band broke up, guitarist Chas Chandler found himself in New York where he chanced upon seeing a young guitarist whose style absolutely floored him. He convinced this guy to come to the UK to help jump start his career, found him a drummer and bassist to back him and introduced the new trio to the world as the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
@aileensenpai you weren't born in the wrong time. you were born in the right time to be able to enjoy classic music in addition to current releases.
I was born 79 my family got me into the music so the soul in my blood and by the way I love sam Cooke They are the best in the 60s like the Beatles the who the rolling stones they are blues band you have to know the UK bands from the 60s beautiful 💖
Holy crap! Yesterday I was watching some of your reactions and I kept thinking I should recommend The Animals. And here we are...
Perfect timing! ❤️
@@AileenSenpai yeah I was planning to look thru your videos if you had watched them already before I recommended them haha
My father is an incredible guitar player. He was being groomed growing up to go to Nashville. He always played this song when I was a kid. He gave up a career in music at 19 to provide a life for my mother and me.
I love seeing reactions to this song, because NO ONE expects what they are about to be exposed to. even better that its a song from the 60s and its just a group of guys in suits.
A classic British band that lasted over 50 years, but barely were noticed by the press were The Pretty Things. They started as a straight-up blues/R&B band like The Rolling Stones (co-founding member Dick Taylor was an original member of the Stones) then evolved into maybe the first alternative band that experimented in all directions, credited with the first rock opera "S.F. Sorrow" and other great albums like "Parachute." They were the missing link between the blues rockers like the Stones, the Yardbirds, and Zeppelin; the adventurous songwriters like The Beatles, The Kinks, and the Who; and the psychedelic space rockers like Pink Floyd and Hawkwind. Bowie covered them, and they were signed to Zeppelin's label for a time. David Gilmour memorably joined them for "The Final Bow" a filmed record of one of their last concerts. Well worth a look and a listen.
Something I'll mention that I think is relevant...is that the bassist here at the time for The Animals (Chas Chandler) was later on very "instrumental" in helping Jimi Hendrix get discovered. Of course there's more to the story than that, but I'm not going into the full story here, too much to write about. If one wants to, just simply look up the whole back story behind Chas being recommended to check out Jimi in NYC in 1966, and what happened afterward.
Excellent band and song - classic, thanks for listening to this - plenty of great hits from the past.
Ah yes another classic! There is also a nice metal cover of the band Sentenced which still is among my favorite versions of this song.
I grew up hearing this song on classic rock stations, and songs by CCR, too... and with both bands, I was really surprised when I saw the lead singers for the first time. they look so young for the powerful, soulful voices they have! (of course, I've seen a few really young girls, too, on RUclips...)
This traditional folk song is essentially a funeral dirge, as played by The Animals here. The story we are told, and what we can fill in between the lines is of a life gone wrong. The group actually enacts a funeral procession as was done way back in the day in which the body would be carried through the town. "Spill the Wine" by Eric Burdon and War would be a nice change of pace. Great upload.
I have had the reaction of HOW DOES THIS LAD HAVE SUCH A VOICE(I know Mr Burdon is in his 80s by now but back then he was like early 20s)
Thank you for sharing what you really feel. A good bartender is a precious person.
A fantastic song by the Animals. Love 'House of The Rising Sun'.
Classic!
I feel like you would love the band “The Moody Blues” and “The Guess Who” if you are looking for more 60’s-70’s bands. They are being forgotten and it would be an absolute tragedy if their music didn’t carry on. “Nights in White Satin”, “Question”, “Just a Singer in a Rock ‘N’ Roll Band”, “Tuesday Afternoon”, “Wildest Dreams”, “For My Lady”, “Melancholy Man”, “Go Now”, “The Story in Your Eyes” and “Ride My See-Saw are a few of the Mood Blues Songs that you would fall in love with. “American Women”, “No Time”, “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother”, “Hand me Down World” and of course “These Eyes” are some great Guess Who songs you would love. Both bands feature powerhouse vocals without auto tune and amazing musicianship. Enjoy!!
I love this song, I love this video and I love your reaction to it. I wish I could be hearing it for the first time again. I instantly crank the volume anytime this song comes on the radio.
Your a doll, love the way you convey your thoughts & emotion ❤
Might be my favorite vid. So raw.
So many songs by Eric Burdon..... We've Got To Get Out Of This Place is another
gem... many more.... going down the Eric Burdon rabbit hole is a good journey~!
can you imagine this awesome song being 60 yrs old ?? therefore timeless. The Animals led by Eric Burden had a ton of great songs. Very unique undeniable sound. I bought all their Albums upon release. Eric displays soul/power into this song.
Chas Chandler, the bassist, became one of Britain’s greatest mangers. He managed Jimi Hendrix amongst others. He was also a record producer.
So much soul 😍🤝🇲🇨
Way before my time (but great song 🎵 👌)
Eric Burdon! WOW! There are very few singers who can give a rock song like "House of the Rising Sun" that touch of soul to make it perfect! I can only think of the late, great Amy Winehouse! These are once in a generation singers! Thank you, Aileen for sharing this wonderful piece of art with us! Carry on! 💓🤘👍
I've always loved this song. Also lots of tv shows and movies have used this song. Mostly just to set up the mood or as part of the story. Still remember hearing through out an episode of Supernatural.
Im so Glad you're back;; hopefully for good!! I've noticed several reactions Ive got to catch up on....... You're the woman in my dreams & don't Ever let nothing OR no one being you down.
Keep Rocking!!
I love this song. Five finger death punch did an amazing cover of this song as well.
I absolutely love the Grass Roots. If you're in a sixties kick, please check out the Grass Roots "Let's Live for Today, " (1967). As a fun bonus, if you're a fan of the American the Office series, keep an eye out for the bass player in the blue sweater. He's everyone's favorite quality assurance guy at Dunder Mifflin.
From what I remember, they only had enough studio time and money for one take so at the end when you see their smile/smirk its because they knew they absolutely killed it.
I heard that the smirk/smile was because Alan Price and the Keyboard were being pushed to the front whilst still playing.
u shall looking for "don't let it be misunderstood", then resumed by Santa Esmeralda in 1977 (from "The Ed Sullivant Show", on ytb too.....)
His stoic expression is because he's singing about a really strong subject: Addiction. The ball and chain reference is about being tied to an addiction. THe father was a gambler and a drunk, and now the son is following in the footsteps he tried to escape: Mother, tell your children...
Started watching you for Ren's reactions, but this is a classic and i love to see Younger people discovering this.
Eric Burdon is a Geordie BEAST !! to this day !
Been subbed to the channel a while now, but finally have to say something:
It is SO amazing to see someone who experiences music like I do. We don't hear it, we feel it.
Thank you so much for sharing and letting this middle aged X-er know they're not alone.
Much love and support. 🙂
I was 6 when this song came out and I remember my brother listening to it all the time on his record player while practicing the notes on his guitar. I was a first grader who knew every word of that song, along with a few other songs on the album. I felt pretty grown up for a kid, however, it was still another 5 years before the folks let me start growing my hair a bit longer like the Animals, Stones, and other bands. I just turned 66 over the weekend and appreciate greatly the so many happy memories provided by the music you react to. Keep it up and thank you❣❣❣❣❣❣
Cool! (belated) Happy Birthday to you! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 Thank you.
@@bubbavonmax4211 You are very welcome. I hope you got to have as much fun as you wanted and not too much to handle. :D
@@jamescurfman3284 These days I can handle just about anything. After my nap, that is.
@@bubbavonmax4211 :D
Good one, Aileen! Yep, a damn good job for sure. Love this song! Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙂
you NEED to hear five finger death punchs' cover of this song! its an awesome tribute by Ivan and the guys
I really enjoy you enjoying my favorite songs. Your real. The way you feel the song. You go with the flow of the song.
the Alan Price - Vox Continental organ is everything in this song
They were 19 when this was released. FYI the bassist is Chas Chandler who discovered and managed Jimi Hendrix.
LOVE the keys in this tune . The keyboard is a VOX Continental - certainly has that 60s sound.
I just heard this twice live a month, month and a half ago. The Animals were on their farewell tour in Australia and I saw them in Sydney and then happened to be in Canberra couple of weeks later when they were there. So, went to listen to them again. Fabulous concerts! John Steel in the drums is the only original band member, but at the age of 83 he can still handle those sticks :)
Another 60s band you should checkout is Paul Revere and The Raiders they had some good sing along songs with great lyrics.
That stoic nature you mention is the essence of Englishness. It’s a Swan 🦢 frantically paddling beneath the water with a calm exterior above. 🇬🇧
This phenomenal song goes back to the early 1900s OR POSSIBLY EARLIER. So many people covered this song, however, this version was the very most popular. In the 1960s, this was the most played song in the pool hall I frequented. In fact, the Animals had the most played songs in Wally's pool hall. Try some of their other hits like WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE, WHEN I WAS YOUNG, and DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD. The Animals really resonated with the rebel crowd.
You should also check out FFDP version , im sure you would love , this is a classic the Animals , love your reactions
Great, great reaction to a fabulous performance. Thanks much.
This band is from Newcastle upon Tyne, England. They are Geordies and I'm 100% sure they support Newcastle United F.C. as I do. And this is the greatest version of The House of the Rising Sun ever published.
It's great to have you back! Love your reactions, so don't go anywhere.... Ever Again. 😘
This was an oldie in 1964 when the Animals recorded it, being a traditional folk song that may go back as far as the 16th or 17th century. Like many traditional folk songs, this one found its way over to the new world where it was passed down generations and cultures. The first known recorded version is from 1933, recorded by Clarence "Tom" Ashley (ruclips.net/video/147kS8O59Qs/видео.html) but has been recorded by virtually every folk musician of note, including Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Joan Baez and even Bob Dylan, who recorded the song for his first record in 1962. It was probably Dylan's version (an arrangement which Dylan stole from fellow folk musician Dave Van Ronk) that inspired the Animals to record it.
One of my favorite versions of the song is from Nina Simone's "Live at the Village Gate" record: ruclips.net/video/wQxyoa0V3ZA/видео.html
When I was a Lecturer at Northern Illinois University one day I played this video while waiting for class to start. One student told his friend that he was surprised by how young the band was, he always figured it was an old blues band.
