Which original, this song is way older than leadbelly or the animals , the earliest commercial versions were not recorded until the 1930s , it’s a very , very old song
@@valley_robot This version of the lyrics is the one written by Eric Burdon for The Animals. Both versions kick ass. Recording and equipment had highly improved between The Animals version and the Frijid Pink version.
@@yeswolf1 The Animals version was not written by Eric Burdon, but by Alan Price. The keyboardist of the Animals. Most of the lyric from the Animal's version leaned on the rewritten version by Dave Van Ronk. Originally the song was a bout a girl who worked in a whorehouse. Later versions (including the Animal's) changed from a female perspective to a male perspective. The arrangement from the Frijid Pink version leans heavily on the Animal's version, but in my opinion is a totally different sound. And i love both versions...
LOL. You clearly don't know the history of House of the Rising Sun or The Animals. Alan Price did not write the song. It is an old standard with a history reaching much further back than The Animals. The Animals arranged it together and Eric changed the lyrics to suit him. It was credited to Alan Price on the single only because his name had been listed first when the credits were given to the record company and on that 45, they decided there was only room for one name. It was supposed to be credited as "Arranged by" all five members of the band. Eric has talked about this what seems a million times. The worst part of the story is that Alan made all the royalties from that hit because the others were not listed on the 45 label and because Alan was incorrectly listed as if he was the writer. Writers earn royalties but arrangers and players do not -- industry standard. Everybody but Alan got screwed. Probably a good idea to know what you're talking about before you try to tell someone you don't know that they were wrong. I wasn't wrong, you were. @@Scarafax
@@yeswolf1 I never stated that Alan Price wrote the song, i said he made the biggest changes lyricswise for the Animals version. The exact origin and original author of the song is unknown, and the first recorded version is from 1933. However the first publishment of the lyrics comes from 1925. That publishment stated that it was a old sung, sung by miners in 1905. The lyrics from the Animals version are almost identital to the version from Dave Van Ronk, that rewrote a lot of the original lyrics. For the Animals version Alan Price did make the most changes lyricswise. Burdon only claimed he changed it to the male perspective. Those interviews are here on RUclips, go watch. And he stated he was the first to change it to the male perspective, however there are many earlier versions of House of the Rising Sun (or Rising Sun Blues, as it is also known) that already tells it from a male perspective, so that is not an invention from Burdon. His claim is false. For instance, the version from 1933 by Clarence Ashley tells it from a male perspective.
13-14 years old, southern Florida, first heard this blastin at the local neighborhood biker hangout. (Choppers parked all over the front yard) Never forgot it. Cant remember if we'd partaken of "the Devil's weed" that day. Far more devilish substances were available to young wayward girls on the streets of southern Florida, in those days. Lucky to have survived those times, all things considered. But I think we needed it then - the release from our minds, from our troubled realities, home lives, etc, & THIS MUSIC.
Great version and great clip! Love the defrosted albumn and can't praise this band enough for the music they created! I never tire of playing it. Life long legends!!!
One of my fav tune. Yes, absolute you have to hear it LOUD...sitting in an old VW Käfer with my brother...Listen to AFN...and then this Song is in the Car, in our skin, fill every emotionial pore with Power and Love...epic memories bis heute.
Detroit Rock courtesy of the Grande' Ballroom and the genius of Russ Gibb to provide the venue for these bands to play. If not for his vision we my have never heard of Frijid Pink, The MC5, The Amboy Dukes or Iggy & The Stooges. I wonder how many of you know that The Who and Led Zeppelin played the Grande' Ballroom...
Great cover of this classic traditional song but it should be noted that this version of the lyrics is Eric Burdon's version. Same as he sang it with The Animals.

Lead singer Tom Beaudry passed away on September 2, 2021 at age 73. RIP to a man that was blessed with a serious set of pipes. 😔🙏
I couldn't agree more, but what's always puzzled me is who played guitar on this track, I have always been in awe of his playing.
This is the BEST version, in my own opinion...
*Frijid Pink's version - House Of The Rising Sun (1970) is an absolute masterpiece !!!*
As close as you can get without being Eric Burton the animal by far the best copy I've ever heard I've been this to this since it come out
My favorite version!
🤘❤
100%. Respect!
best version of all time
One of the best covers ever! Better than the original.

In the vernacular of the era. Far Out man.
Groovy.
My favourite version. Love this.
I love this takes me back to my past Frigid Pink put something in that song, nobody else can equal !
Ripples with emotion.
Groovy...we all had hair...love psychedelic era music and miss that sound today
I love the psychedelic flair. Great vocals.
Heard this for the first time maybe 5 years ago and hav to say its the greatest version of this song
First time I ever heard this I was partaking of the devils weed. 1970’s Quit that nonsense decades ago but this song always brings back the urge.

Bloody Hell, This Cat could Sing!!!
Kelly Green. Sad waste of talent that he never did anything of note after FP--lovely voice!
The best recording of the house of the rising sun puts the animals to shame
*WoW super Sound !!!*
Esse cover ficou simplesmente insano, a guitarra no início chega da arrepios.
Isso é rock n roll, meu amigos.
Infelizmente no nosso Brasil bostil temos que conviver com caneta azul, sertanojo, piseiro, funk, etc.
O bom é que esse tipo de música, pizero ou sei lá como escreve, tem prazo curto, não conhecia essa versão, mas curti muito
*This is music !*
another fine yet one hit wonder from michigan as was Question Markl and The Mysterians 96 Tears
*Wow, that's music !*
Nr. 4 in the Netherlands, yet it never gets airplay. Glad there is 192TV, which every now and then has some of these gems aswel.
Top notch vocal performance. As good as Eric Burdon on this song.
Great version and great clip! Love the defrosted albumn and can't praise this band enough for the music they created! I never tire of playing it. Life long legends!!!
