Best concert I've ever seen was Eric Burdon & the Animals in the 80's after they reunited. They played the University gymnasium to about 2500 and kept blowing the power out. 5 times the power went out mid song. Loudest "Fuck" in the place was from Eric when it went out again. They started at 8:00pm and played until 3:30am as they were all fired up about the power outages. I thought they'd play 'till dawn and they nearly did. Not a soul left the show as it was a magical performance to a crowd that was appreciative !

It's that moment when he knows it's wrong, he can still change his mind, but cannot do it. Just like his father was a gambler and couldnt stop, he's a chip off the old block and addicted to the brothel (The song is about a brothel in New Orleans owned by a French woman in the 19th Century, called Madame Lesoleil Levant, which translates as Mrs rising sun.

WW2 black soldiers showed up in England. There was already some blues reaching clubs in London but they brought it wholesale to a hungry audience. Not sure why it hadn't taken off in white America already but it did REALLY well over here. My grandmother was born in 1939, lived in London, evacuated to a relative for a few months and then sent back to London. She lived east London slums by the jazz clubs but also had older brothers who loved jazz and blues. She remembers black soldiers playing music in the bomb shelters as a small child. Much better than listening to bombs dropping. In Nan's teens, she loved going out to dance halls where they played to R&B and later Motown and local rock bands that would be bands like the Animals before they made it big. A lot of the artists from the "British Invasion" would have been exposed to jazz and R&B from when they were little more than babies.

It was a time when your song didn't get played if it was over a couple of minutes long. This song broke the mould. It was so good radio stations played it all the way through. Actually there were a few stations that cut out the instrumental break in the middle to shorten it up but most didn't and from then on records became longer. The Animals were from Newcastle.

In 1964 it was a smash hit rocketing up the Charts to #1 ranking for 3 weeks and remaining on the charts for nearly 3 months. As far as music is concerned, it's a song in it's own class.

@@danjames5552 It's a cover of what? This song goes back possibly before the 20th Century with an extremely complex and convoluted history. I heard it researched a number of times, and they never found a definitive origin. It is possible its origins may have also come from Britain. More recently the 1964 Animals took the guitar part largely from Bob Dylan who recorded it in 1961 who got it from Dave Van Ronk, who probably got it from Woody Guthrie who recorded it in 1941, who probably got it from a recorded version by Roy Acuff who recorded it as "Rising Sun" in 1938 who learned it from Clarence Ashley who recorded it in 1933 (called the Rising Sun Blues), who probably got it from someone else. The list is long and kind of hazy regarding who was "First" definitive singer of the title song "The House of the Rising Sun" with the Animal title, their lyrics, and their arrangements of the 1964 version. The history of the song in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s had differed song titles, lyrics and musical arrangements. I believe the Animals were the first to record the song with updated title, lyrics and musical arrangements using electric musical instruments, and it became the definitive version of the song in both the United States and Britain.

Eric Burton, like so many kids in post-war England, used to hang out in the pubs listening to black American blues singers who couldn't get gigs in the states. He heard this particular song when he was 12 yrs old and swore some day he'd record it himself. It's a "testimonial" from the old gospel tradition, a cautionary tale confessed in church. Eric Burton and many others learned from the masters of gospel, blues, and rock and roll. They had to formally introduce it to most Americans.

She toured England at the beginning of The Beatles' popularity and her guitar playing and crunchy tone helped shape the development of Rock & Roll. She was huge; about the most popular gospel recording artist of the 30s & 40s, she got a lot of flack when she did secular R&B type stuff - one of the pillars of what would become Rock & Roll.

Any kid who could play the keyboard or guitar played or tried to play it by ear. It was a refreshing departure from the run-of-the-mill rock/pop music of the time. The version arranged and performed by The Animals is the most familiar. Many years later I learned that the song is a very old folk song dating back hundreds of years in various forms.

I was in elementary school when this was released. It hit me hard even though I listened to country mostly. Was the first song I learned on the guitar years later. Thanx for the walk down memory lane. ✌🏽🧡😊

I'm old enough to have flipped out over The Animals and especially this song. My Dad hated them naturally.

The first time I heard this song, in the movie "CASINO" It blew me completely away, been amazed ever since this is a timeless masterpiece. 💖

I like your comments. That is the way the song struck me when it came out when I was in high school. But the song has great staying power as it is claimed to be older than the city of New Orleans. "Undoubtedly, “The House of the Rising Sun” is one of the most famous songs ever created. It became popular thanks to the British rock band, The Animals, but before that happened, there is a huge story-line to be tackled. "Originally a traditional folk song, “The House of the Rising Sun”, also known as “Rising Sun Blues”, tells of life in New Orleans, back in the day when poverty was the fate of many people. Like the majority of classic folk ballads, the authorship of “The House of the Rising Sun” is tricky and uncertain. "Musicologists say that it is certainly based on the broadside ballad tradition; a type of ballad which differentiated from traditional ones. They were popular between the 16th and the 19th century and unlike the traditional ballads, which were more epic in nature, they spoke of love, religion, legends, and wonders, and some were even drinking songs. The ‘broadsheet’ contained the lyrics of the song, along with the name of some popular tune that would match with the lyrics. "The ancient tune that changed modern music forever "One thing is clear, that the original “The House of the Rising Sun” is older than New Orleans itself, as the city was founded in 1718. Its lyrics were also varying and different than the one we are familiar with today. "The oldest published version of the lyrics is printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in the Adventure Magazine, where Gordon ran a folk music column, ‘Old Songs Men Have Sung’; the magazine collected information on traditional American music from magazine’s readers.

I saw The Animals 3yrs ago and Eric Burdon still has his voice. Glad to see theres still part of this generation keeping an open mind.

The Animals were under rated. They were in the middle of the British Invasion. The hits album is great. One of the strongest voices ever. He was also in the band "War".
