What a classic! Eric Burdon is also the lead singer of the "Animals"

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Famous for House of the Rising Sun, an absolute classic.

[@teimonkauppa0909]

Always has baffled me that he is British, great singer

[@bernicemoore5182]

The man started out singing blues music and his idols back in the 50s & 60s were American black artists.

[@richsmith6422]

The singer is Eric Burdon, singer of the Animals....listen to the whole album Eric Burdon Declares WAR

[@janishaldeman3339]

War such a great diverse band.... Slipping Into Darkness, Low Rider, Cisco Kid. Critical pieces of musical history.

[@gpxo11]

Also All Day Music, why Can't We Be friends and Summer

[@amjrpain919]

"The World is a Ghetto"!

[@Greg-io1ip]

You know it. War should be played more often. Because less war might be the result.

[@johnwriter8234]

​@Greg you WIN!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

WAR "Low Rider",, "The Cisco Kid",, "The World Is A Ghetto",, "Slippin' Into Darkness",, "Gypsy Man",, "All Day Music",, "Summer",, "Me And Baby Brother",, "Why Can't We Be Friends",, "Four Cornred Room",, "City, Country, City"

[@kathybwell]

Great suggestions! My favorites are All Day Music and Slippin Into Darkness

[@dianemiller3040]

Still sounds as good as it did over a half century ago. Love the flute! (And yes, I am a Jethro Tull fan).

[@saxworthmusic]

You're thinking about the song Low Rider by War

[@John_Chu]

In 1968, Eric Burdon (The Animals) and his producer Jerry Goldstein saw a group called Nightshift (from Long Beach) playing at The Rag Doll in North Hollywood, backing Hall of Fame defensive end Deacon Jones (yes he sang as a side hustle). They decided to form War and gigged around SoCal until they went into the studio to record their debut album (this was the single from it).

[@NathanielHarari]

“..an overfed, long-haired, leapin’ gnome…” - one of the best and weirdest lines in a rock song ever. 👍

[@Eb_160]

From 1968-1978 was the absolute peak for a lot of things....the generation born 1935-1965 were using alot more of their brains lol.

[@jeffrubinelectronics]

Beautifully perfect marriage of Eric and War...to this day, a classic.

[@michaelkeefe8494]

War, a Cali funk band with a Swedish harmonica player (Lee Oskar), joined here by Brit singer Eric Burdon (of the Animals). It's like the UN of funkiness.

[@edmundhenry5095]

Eric "House of the Rising Sun" Burdon!

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

Eric Burdon was Eric Burdon. WAR was one of the finest bands ever assembled and their catalogue stands up to anyone's...

[@salspataro9389]

A Song and a Group that was all by itself!

[@paulfedor9828]

Singer is Eric Burdon from "The Animals"

[@MadisonD941]

Eric Burdon is another rabbit hole. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" with The Animals.

[@jowsmith1904]

this was wars introduction to the public, albeit with eric burdon on the mic..i loved it saw war in 74 at the universal amph...good times ;)

[@realbser1956]

This is a deep catalog of music. You may have heard their song The World is as Ghetto before. It’s a classic and well worth a reaction. Thanks! ✌️

[@amosglitterz2649]

There's an up-tempo 'Ghetto' on Music Band 2 album. 13 min. instrumental banger!

[@bofusnco]

I was friends with the bass player BB Morris Dickerson. He passed last year sadly. Check out Tobacco Road from the Eric Burdon Declares WAR...Amazing

[@jacqueline4514]

Yes!! So many classics from WAR; you hit the nail on the head; a Latin rock sound. "Cisco Kid", "Low Rider", "Why Can't We Be Friends"; love them all. Can you tell I bought a WAR greatest hits CD in the 90's 😂.

[@pb68slab18]

I bought a WAR 8-track in the 70s!

[@jacqueline4514]

@@pb68slab18 That’s awesome!

[@AjaxCaper]

And their song Summer.

[@pip3124]

I saw them do this live when I was 15 or 16. Never will forget it.

[@xJRx77]

This is a collaboration! Eric Burdon is a 60's star with a band called the Animals, who had two very popular songs, 1 called House of the rising sun, and Don't let me be misunderstood!

[@astroteech]

Hell yah. Takes me back to my late teens. Eric Burdon and War! Know your music history. Look up "Low Rider".

[@kbrewski1]

One of the great hippy funky tracks of the early 70s. Love how weird this was with the background voices etc. Great underrated tune (the long version, I thought there was a longer version on the album). I bet this song was playing during a lot of early 70s orgies!

[@jowsmith1904]

war is another deep fire filled rabbit hole.

[@elmerkilred159]

"I was taken to The Hall of the Mountain King." - Eric Burdon 1970 'In the Hall of the Mountain King,' is a piece of orchestral music composed by Edvard Grieg in 1875. The Electric Light Orchestra has a cover of it from 1973. It's been sampled 72 times, and covered at least 28 times.(The Who, Rainbow, Apollo 100, Trent Reznor...)

[@harrylime5715]

Their song “magic mountain” is an overlooked classic.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Love War (and the Animals)! Soulful stuff.

[@holysmokes5817]

"Spill the wine, dig that girl...!!" YEAH.. 70's. A time and place to be sure... Cheers 🍄🌲🍄✨💥🌈

[@anthonyblakely399]

Great Song!!! Definitely a Classic!!! Eric Burdon..lead singer and frontman of The early 60's group "The Animals" creates a band called "War." Actually, discovered this band and they became good friends and then they decided to make music and albums and songs together. Next reaction should be "Tobbacco Road."

[@martyjansing2675]

And not just any version... must be Live 1970. Live always shows real abilities.

[@brendawoodson3230]

Eric Burdon

[@johnlillis1161]

the singer is Eric Burdon fron The Animals you should give them a listen House Of The Rising Sun or Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood or When I Was Young

[@angelo9725]

That’s Eric Burdon on lead vocals… he was also the front man for The Animals ( House of The Rising Sun)

[@williamweiss6128]

Yes!!! I was a kid when this came out. Still love it. Sky Pilot, another favorite.

[@joelliebler5690]

Big hit , a classic by one of the best known lead vocalist of the sixties into the early 1970’s.

[@doriwiljt]

Pre teen memories. Always loved this song

[@scenicrouteart]

So cool you are listening to WAR!!

[@kathybwell]

Very Cool Indeed!

[@d4anzig]

A song about shooting heroin veiled in poetry gotta love the music from that era!!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Good lord, just another awesome song by one more great band in a cavalcade of 70s excellence. The creativity, musicianship, variety, and craftsmanship of the music coming out of the 70s really blows my mind, more so in retrospect than upon initial listen. Many years of weak music sure shows up that contrast that the greatness of the 70s provides. Amazing.

[@humpy936]

There is a great live version of this you should watch, it’s actually better than the studio version.

[@russelbarnes7235]

The Isley Bros have a version of this song. You probably heard it. The House of the Rising Sun is Eric Burdons most recognized song, but this is nice also. I enjoyed your reaction.

[@michaelgray4964]

Their "All Day Music" album is a stone classic. Great old school R & B.

[@ZEPnALE]

For more Eric Burdon, try "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals. For more War, try "Low Rider" and "Why Can't We Be Friends."

[@mikewarker4445]

Guys do War The world is a ghetto, Cisco kid, summer

[@sjd5750]

Lowrider, too.

[@jimmoore8951]

All Day Music, Slipping Into Darkness…

[@roadkill7314]

Absolutely iconic!

[@platterjockey]

Yup. Eric Burdon, the guy sang the lead on that song, is White.

[@art2736]

Cisco Kid, Slippin into Darkness, Lowrider, and The World is a Ghetto, Why Can't We Be Friends. Puro memories!

[@324cmac]

War is an outstanding band!

[@tonyfleck3029]

War ! A Great Band!!! Sort of got their kickoff with 'Eric Burdon ' from the 'Animals 'the vocals ! There's a Fantastic Live version version on Utube from, from an early 70s German TV series 'Beat Club ' really good audio and filming, so many Bands on this TV show Check them out, you'll absolutely be blown away by the talent from back in the day!!!. X

[@cityhonors1]

🥰 So fun! 😁 Reminds me of people I use to see on 'The Midnight Special' or 'Ron Delsener Rock Concert'! 🤩 They had all the cool Bands that sang the songs we heard on the radio! 😉Lot of fol;ks were shocked to realize Eric Burden is white AND was the singer of 'The Animals'. So young on the song 'House of the Rising Sun'. Some powerful vocals coming out that young man. 🥰🐰

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

That's Eric Burdon singing.

[@jimwilcox2964]

Low Rider was the War song that got the most airplay around central iowa

[@dannycasson1551]

War is worthy of a deep dive or rabbit hole or whatever you want to call it!

[@lesblatnyak5947]

Nice gentlemen taking me back to the greatest time to be alive. Never locked our doors in Toronto and gas was 20 cents an imperial gallon, 10% more then a Yankee gallon 😮

[@jowsmith1904]

an obscure gem nice find.

[@baileyride]

Just so freaking good! Thanks

[@glenn19100]

You guys are great! I enjoy seeing you all enjoying the music I grew up with. A couple more Eric Burdan and the Animals songs you may want to give a spin. Sky Pilot and River Deep and Mountain High. Keep up the great work!

[@bastos2702]

Eric Burdon & War - Spirit (Live, 1971)

[@stephenwilliams1354]

Need to check out this song; the live video. Seeing makes it much better.

[@KevinRCarr]

That's Eric Burdon singing. You know, The singer of The Animals, House of the Rising Sun fame.

[@matthewbyrd398]

Andy Summers from The Police also played with Eric Burdon and The Animals.

[@suecook1326]

Maybe you remember the lead singer from The House Of The Rising Sun by the Animals? Eric Burdon is great!

[@scottmatzeder9162]

Eric Burdon is a Legend, He was in the Animals, widely known for the Epic Classic song House of the Rising Sun!

[@victorjohnson7512]

War also played with 'tower of power' horn section on a lot of stuff.

[@raynavarro7997]

one of my go to karaoke songs....

[@TheDivayenta]

House of the Rising Sun? Same singer!! Eric Burdon. And War. War has a great video of their song , Low Rider- which you would go nuts for!!!

[@tinicum54]

I bought the 45 of this when it was released.,

[@paulprendergast3184]

Sooooooo good. War is brilliant. Thanks guys!!

[@JimmyRJump]

As a kid (13 or 14, back in the early seventies) I bought the single (45rpm vinyl) called "The Cisco Kid" which had "Beetles In The Bog" as a B-Side. I liked the latter far better than the A-Side and it got me hooked on heavy funk. I mean, as the hard-rock kid I thought I was, those bass lines couldn't be denied, that hard way of pronouncing the lyrics had to be heard, the drums and percussion couldn't be denied, and I was hooked. I walked around in a Harlem shuffle, although I was from rural Belgium and never ever heard of anything remotely similar to Harlem, but the steps were there, the swag was in the hips and the step was right in rhythm. Later I found out the Burdon guy also sang in The Animals and that opened yet other doors for my ears and brain to comprehend. Cheers lads. You guys are awesome. I have close to twenty-six thousand records but it still pleases me to no end when I hear stuff I like commented on some fifty-odd years after I heard that stuff for the first time. And what is most pleasing is that you guys also like what you hear. I appreciate the hell out of you.

[@davidmcroberts8502]

Flawless!

[@ericcohen4613]

The live version of this song is a banger

[@skydog6376]

Spill the wine, take that pearl ✌️

[@johndrake3472]

There’s a live version of this that’s great

[@FUBAR1986]

Man, are you guys bringing it, thank you for this one. It’s been a minute.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jenniferbabros1985]

Oldie but a Goodie

[@se6550]

The leaping gnome speaks for himself. :)

[@kosta399]

Go and change your diapers first before you open your mouth 🤣🤣🤣

[@anthonydraine4875]

Thee flute on 💪💪💪💪

[@paulfedor9828]

Band is "War" famous Los Angeles band

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

The pearl referred to the pearl of the orient, i.e. heroin. Spilling the wine was a slang term for the blood that dripped when you were doing the drugs. A similar song is Mother of Pearl, by Roxy Music… just some trivia

[@jmaune1313]

The Animals do an excellent cover of "River Deep/Mountain High."

[@tonygarcia356]

The sound and lyrics of the video of this song (which can also be seen on KZbin) ABSOLUTELY blows away this version! Especially Eric Burdon’s voice! Whew! Man some serious pipes!

[@sonicspectrumradio]

I dig all of your reactions.

[@gregoryfinn9018]

Nice song, EB waa very involved in getting several bands discovered. BTW need go down the Rolling Stones rabbit hole starting with Can You Hear Me Knocking

[@michele-33]

Y'all shoulda watched the live version 🔥

[@danw2276]

saw war live, great. But here ERIC takes over. Dude rocks and his voice is so strong and electrified there nobody like him. LOVE THE ANIMALS!!!!!

[@kathybwell]

So glad you're reacting to WAR! Love WAR and their extensive, deep and sweet collection! And yes, they're a Chicano band out of LA. Suggestions to try - All Day Music, Summer, Low Rider, and one of the funkiest songs ever - Slippin into Darkness 🔥😍🔥

[@happymethehappyone8300]

WAR Often Toured With Other Large Multi-Ethnic Groups Like Santana & Malo..I Was Fortunate Enough To See All 3 Together...EPIC Concert.

[@nozzlevelocity]

Beautiful. Btw, spilling some wine on purpose is an old European way of bringing good luck.

[@jimmiranda7181]

Brown Sound So Cal car cruisin' culture of the late 60s and 70s

[@maryscales5747]

I saw WAR in concert .

[@greenbeatsred]

Eric Burdon was lead singer for The Animals. They were part of the British Invasion in the 60's with quite a few classic hit songs. When Eric made this song with War that was our intro to War back in 1970.

[@johnshannon9656]

Great.

[@MaryM-xz5fs]

You MUST WATCH THE 1970 LIVE VERSION!!! Eric Burdon/Animals = House of the Rising Sun

[@kianpa1]

So good. ❤

[@fastcakes]

Maybe the song it reminds you of is "Oya Como Va" (spelling?) by Santana

[@stevelafontaine7184]

check out the live version of this with eric burdon

[@onemotherpucker]

Unique stuff. 🙃👍

[@AjaxCaper]

If your dad didn't have the War album, you probably have not heard the long version of The World is a Ghetto. Cool sax solo in the middle.

[@tinicum54]

“The song came from a tipped-over bottle in a recording studio and developed out of a jam session. But the spilling of the wine became quite a ceremony with the band. Promoters would leave bottles of red California wine backstage. . . “What we never seemed to have was a corkscrew, but I discovered that these bottles were easy to get into if you just plunged your middle finger into the cork. The trick was placing your mouth over the bottle to catch the cheap plonk as it erupted. It soon became a backstage event, this ‘spilling of the wine.’”

[@stuartdean1938]

In 1970, when I was 17, there were a lot of overfed long-haired leaping gnomes.
