[@alexfletcher5192]

Organist Alan Price quit due to fear of flying - a key element if you wanted to conquer America! - and went on to a much more British sound. The Animals at their inception as a pop phenomenon were serious contenders, behind the voice of Eric Burdon -- surely one of the greatest white blues singers there has ever been.

[@lechatel]

He went to America a great deal. The 'fear of flying thing was an excuse. Price and the manager (who later famously also ripped off Hendrix) together allegedly cut the rest of the band out of the royalties to the song. (The manager had an idea to make another group with Price and this would fund it.) The rest of the band had been told Price's name alone would go on the record (the arrangement was very much a collaberative effort) because 'there wasn't room for them all and we have to produce them quick'. The band were naive and didn't know until the fisrt cheques for the record came in (or didn't ). Price then basically ran away. He left the band flat and in need of a keyboardist during a tour. Not long after he was in New York with Bob Dylan. The flying thing was simply a cover story.

[@chrisPAT03]

Eric Burdon was one of the absolute finest vocalists in rock/blues history, bar none. No debate, no questions. The man had such an insanely amazing voice. To this day, it's still perplexing. He was a bad ass!

It's awesome to see the younger generation appreciating the great Classic Rock of the 60s and 70s. It's called Classic for a reason. It's timeless.

[@howardbrown911]

Fab Gear - The song is a very old Blues/Folk traditional that possibly originated in England with different lyrics, though a similar theme. It was being performed in the US as early as the 1850s. It's been recorded by several artists before The Animals, including Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, and Bob Dylan. During the huge Folk music movement in the UK (they called it Skiffle) of the late 1950s, Lead Belly's large catalogue of music was heavily mined by the acts of the day. Most likely, this is where The Animals heard it and adapted it into their Blues Rock style. The House of the Rising Sun is basically, a brothel, and the song has also been sung as a warning to young girls that it's not a place to end up. In this case, the House has been frequented by the person in the song and has led him down a path of ruin and self-destruction. It's exactly the right sounding song for The Animals, reflecting their early life growing up in the coal based area of their native Newcastle. A hard life that led them to their love of the Blues and their 'growly' sound. I'm glad you like this song, Angela. It's a classic, for sure! One of The Animals' best tracks

A classic and a masterpiece. He's singing about the fact that he has wasted his life in a brothel. " Mother's tell your children, not to do the things I've done, waste your life in misery, in the house of the rising sun." Kind of puts the tragedy of it in perspective when you realize that. And you're right...the playing was absolutely incredible by all the musicians. Thay banged this one out in perfect harmony and double time. Awesome band, way ahead of thier time.Especially the keyboard player. He stole the whole show imo. You are so fine and I'm not afraid to say it. I'm not objectifying you, it's just the truth.

[@jayrob280]

The song is about a brothel in New Orleans. "The House Of The Rising Sun" was named after its occupant Madame Marianne LeSoleil Levant (which means "Rising Sun" in French) and was open for business from 1862 (occupation by Union troops) until 1874, when it was closed due to complaints by neighbors.

[@billbradley4878]

The song is about not falling into the pitfalls of gambling and alcoholism, not repeating the patterns of your parents. His dad went down the path and he as the son followed. The location is not really the point of the song at all.

To put this in context, the "Rising Sun" was a house in New Orleans early in the 1900's,and maybe earlier. In current terms, it was a "sporting house." The history adds to the story.

So glad you found this. Not from TV. Mimed from their one take recording.and 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. KZbin 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 KZbin search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments : kzbin.info?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 KZbin 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 totally understand your difficulty in grasping all the lyrics. In the mid 60's when all the British groups and their songs hit the U.S. it was hard for most of us (I'm 77) to understand all the lyrics also. Many of the Brits came from areas of the UK that spoke dialects unknown by us. Mick Jagger songs created arguments over what he was actually saying in many of his songs early on. This is one of the greatest rock/(Blues) songs ever. I was 18 at that time and still get chills. Burdons voice and that organ will last forever.

[@ishpadful]

I was 14 when these guys broke out with this single from an album they would soon release! The band was part of an army of bands from England that invaded the US, right after the Beatles hit our shores! Bc of songs like this, they were very, very competitive with the Beatles! Their only drawback was that they basically relied on covering other artist, such as this song (taken from an old blues/spiritual artist from the American South) and others like Sam Cooke's BRING IT ON HOME TO ME (still a favorite of mine from him&them)! But, they made plenty of great music, don't get me wrong! Like so many English bands that crossed the Atlantic, they became well received by American teens and most had unlimited talent! If i had the time, OR, SPACE, I'd list a few for u, but, honestly, any band from '64 on thru the '60's, would send goosebumps down ur spine! If u ever have a moment, take a private listen to the Dave Clark Five's BECAUSE! I'm 70 now but that song still makes me teary with memories!🤗😘🙌

A few FYI's for you (thanks for posting your reaction to THIS song by the way): In an interview in the '60's Little Richard was asked what was happening in England after he toured there. L.R's response was, "The Animals are #1 over there and, they're the greatest group I've ever heard". Yup, you read that correctly. L.R. said THAT. Not the Stones, not The Yardbyrds or Beatles etc...the Animals. Also, Nina Simone, while touring the U.K., ripped Eric Burdon apart about making millions on this song that was a minor hit for her in the U.S but, was a smash hit for the animals everywhere, apparently, cursing at him like a drunken sailor. Burdon told her that she should be thanking them for paving the way for her popularity in the U.K. Simone and Burdon became good friends after that encounter... : )

This song was a cause of enmity between Alan Price (keyboards) and the other members of the band. The song is a traditional American song covered by many people, including Bob Dylan, before this version was made. Alan price took the song and transformed it into the incredible rocked up piece of music it is. When the other band members found out that he as the arranger was getting the royalties that would normally go to the composer they were slightly miffed. Alan Price said that he ''found'' the song, arranged it and showed the others how to play it so he felt entitled to what he got. I agree with him. This song was also instrumental (pardon the pun) in convincing Dylan to ''go electric''. Paul Simon mentions the fact in his song ''A Simple Desultory Philippic (or How I was Robert McNamara'd into Submission)'' when he says of Dylan ''It's nothin', It's just something I heard over in England.'' Incidentally Dylan and Price can be seen together in the Dylan film ''Don't Look Back''...featuring Dylan pricking up his ears when Alan Price starts playing a George Formby song..

As the video is all done in one take they had to move Alan Price and his keyboard off camera to the front for the final shot. Hilton Valentine was laughing at the sight of Alan Price being pushed across the studio floor whilst he was still playing his keyboard! I think that is a very amusing little anecdote and provides a little humanity to the video.

Oldies but the goodies; black or white talent was strong back in the days.

[@rickinthesticks572]

My favorite reaction channel! Thank you for not having a long winded intro and not pausing excessively!

For my money, "I'm Crying" is the most underrated song by The Animals.

[@lechatel]

Mine too! It was the start of a budding and very promising writing partnership between Price and Eric. But it was cut short by the fall-out of Price taking all the royalties for HOTRS.

Yes the instrumentals are over powering to the point that you missed the story of the lyrics and there is a powerful story based essentially on sin and misery

[@kipvold5324]

@Janet Cousins They were overpowering to Morenikeji Taiwo. You should listen to Avi Kaplan sing "The house of the rising sun."

This clip was made in 1964 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 performance and a few other top UK only music artists when the film was made. KZbin 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 KZbin search for Pop Gear Go Go Mania shows the segments : @ 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. 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. I would be amazed to see any video recording from 1964 up to this standard of image quality. Sound quality irrelevant as a better sound source can easily replace or lesser quality film track early source. 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 often pop up. Honeycombs Have I the Right is a great clip from the film too. Is on KZbin and worth a listen.

You are the first person to actually notice where the organ was at the beginning and then at the end

I was 9 years old when I heard this song for the first time and dont understand english back then, but Erics voice made my cry like a river it felt like elektricitet in my body goesbumps all over. The music is great for me this is the best song ,Eric the best singer and The Animals the best band ever. I turn 65 years this year and I still love this song so much.
