I was 12 ,13 years when this song came , i dont like it then i think i was to young and I had onley lernd english from I was 11 years old . So I dont understand so much english, now when I am 65 years old I love this song
Brilliant. Eric Burden and the "New" Animals never released a weak track. Check out all their albums. Terrific stuff. They are "Winds of Change", "Love Is", "The Twain Shall Meet" and the one this is from "Every One of Us". You won't be disappointed.
@@garymullen3123 Absolutely agree! So criminally underrated. As a matter of fact so is the one prior to it, Animalization! Both were better than most of their UK contemporaries releases at that time. GREAT stuff that is unfortunately overlooked! Gems to be discovered if you haven't already, folks!!
A very powerful, meaningful & inspiring as well as beautiful performance as only Eric & The Animals could deliver. Too bad America & the world didn't pay enough attention to this educational video.
Impresionante.Y bello. con la base sosteniendo el movimiento del riff que intercala sensaciones entre medio del fraseo de la voz de Eric Burdon que va contándote la historia de su paso por new york y sus experimentos con el habla y la música negra. el inmenso poder de creatividad del la época brillante del rocanrol. Impressive. And beautiful. holding the base movement sensations riff inserted inbetween of the phrasing Eric Burdon's voice by telling the story that goes of his passage through new york and his experiments with speech and Black music. the immense power of creativity of the brilliant era of rock'n'roll.
Other then the talking interview in the middle of this musical mess. This is probably one of the best pieces of music to listen to when you are so stoned and drunk that you are ready to pass out.
Every One Of Us Album from August 1968...This is the Best Eric Burdon & The Animals 1966 to 1968 Era Album in my personal opinion. The Best Eric Burdon & The Animals 1966 to 1968 Era Rhythm Section Band Lineup in my personal opinion. i wish he did more albums like this with the Band instead of the Sky Pilot crap that got way overplayed on the radio stations.
The term "Sky Pilot" was kind of lost on American audiences, even though the song was a hit just cause it was so damn good. It is an old term that the Brits used to describe military priests (as was evident in the song) and goes back to WW2, if not WW1. For me all the Eric Burden and the "New" Animal albums are terrific and all are so overlooked and underrated. Quality work in every way.
Sky Pilot? Crap? Have you ever listened to the words? He was not just Anti-VietNam-War, he was anti-cynicism, anti-religion, though not necessarily atheist. Man, you got no idea if you think Sky Pilot is crap. And that is only the words. The music behind him buoys him up, transports him, right to the battlefield. Crap. Yup, crap on you.
Jerry Miller, I'm in agreement with you that Sky Pilot is a great one; but as to Burdon being "anti-cynicism", this entire piece is nothing but hopeless cynicism. The solution he offers is being stoned; to go away, to bury his head in the sand.
The dialog is a black engineer named Cliff, who recalls his experience as a fighter pilot during World War II, and tells of poverty then and now -- although the opening section starts off well enough musically, amid Burdon's sung recollections of coming to America and his fixation on the blues and black music in general, and the closing repetition of the word "freedom" anticipates Richie Havens' famed piece (actually an extension of "Motherless Child") from Woodstock
judsons don't bother looking so deeply, or should I say, look a lot deeper. Eric is battling with life in his attempt to be free. He is doing this to free people not from their pain and suffering, but from all the forces that weigh upon them, and keep them trapped in this physical reality. Freedom of the spirit. That is what he wants for all people. For all living beings. But it comes with a price. Once free, you need to remain free. That is nigh on impossible.
eris Burdon was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north of England. He has a Geordie accent, lesspronounced now from years of living in America. But all Geordies are from Newcastle which, in Engalnd. is about as far away from Wales as you can get .

The dialogue in the middle is Eric Burdon using an African / American accent . I don't believe all that crap about it being a guy named Cliff . Burdon had been using an Afro / Amer. accent for so long that it was second nature to him . Don't forget that he was one of the first rappers with songs like Year Of The Guru , from the same album. Danny McCulloch and George Bruno add vocals in the Freedom part of the song .
From George Bruno Zoot Money himself. The middle dialog WAS Cliff, not Burdon. And it's Eric & Zoot at the third half vocals. Where you got your info was NOT from the horse's mouth. Unless you were in the studio with Zoot.
Caught my ear 1st time I heard Eric and The Animals at very young age..still jam often to their music..can't really appreciate them enough for the hours I enjoyed listening to their blues.. Thank God for Eric Burton...
Hilarious. If you really think that's Geordie Eric Burdon putting on an accent and not a genuine African American speaker, you need your ears syringing as a matter of medical urgency.
There are no d.j.s today by the way there are no music today so. So much in time if you listen there big fat you know what so much in that number you will never be free freedom
The album is Every One Of Us.
What a masterpiece. Burdon is one of the very few british bluesers, who really had the soul to dig afro-american music.
"The very few"?
Wonderfull song.I think!
I was 12 ,13 years when this song came , i dont like it then i think i was to young and I had onley lernd english from I was 11 years old . So I dont understand so much english, now when I am 65 years old I love this song

"Animalism" is an astounding album too. Every single song incredible!!!!! "big boss man" "see see rider" & "smokestack lightning" unbelievable stuff

ahh....a breath as fresh as the freshest of air, dipped in Blues.

My sentimental favorite as it was the first record album I purchased upon its release. Also, EB&NA was the very first concert I went to in 1968.
Grossartig!! my love since 1977..i was young & she was 16 in Szolnok, HU
Eric Burdon is Welsh , A great oral tradition, singing is deep in the Welsh genome .Think
Tom Jones.
he was born in Newcastle upon Tyne 11/5/41
5/ 11/ 41 ***

Thanks for the info! I'd always wondered if the interviewee might have been their regular producer Tom Wilson.
LMAO - this is brilliant - EB sounds brilliant stoned!!!!!!! Priceless - wish I was stoned with him!!!

Leaving the stones and Beatles behind. He was not in it for the money anymore.
