The best part of this song is the fact that it was recorded in one take. Perfect! And remember, this was before auto tune. That's his real voice. Eric Burdon is a legend.

[@JuandeFucaU]

there is no microphone and none of the instruments are even plugged in............ it's called dubbing.

[@darthgardner]

@@JuandeFucaUExactly !! its 100% dubbed..but great tune otherwise.

Really? That's a cool bit of trivia!

[@andydilling6352]

“We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “Don’t Bring Me Down” are all excellent songs by the Animals. Eric Burton went on to a solo career and with the band War later as well. “Drink the Wine” is a good one.

That ‘old soul’ Eric Burdon, still going strong at age 82, currently touring in 2024. Though made several years before I was born, grew up hearing the song. And like many who weren’t around in the 60’s, was absolutely shocked by Eric’s youthful appearance when I first saw him in this video.

[@tauronicodemus8300]

This was the 60's, the tv executives wanted the bands to be solemn on the shows because they thought that was what their audience would want. Nice reaction Young Lady, talk all you want. You have a soothing voice.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

Strangely in this case I feel the solemnity fits the song.

[@ed.z.]

The American TV networks had nothing to do with the bands of the 60s and 70s demeanor. I spent two decades working at a major alphabet network and equal time in music. The bass player for the Animals went on to manage Jimi Hendrix.

Eric Burdon sounds like he has lived a lifetime; if you just heard the song and didn't see him, you would never know he was in his early 20s

[@ThomasKnip]

One of the true timeless classics of pop music. Eric Burdon's voice was insane. And Alan Price at the organ is rocking it!

[@jondaley2588]

Try to find the original from the 1930s and listen to it .

[@ThomasKnip]

@@jondaley2588 Will try, thx!

[@Blue-qr7qe]

Before the British Invasion really launched, there was a serious dive into the Blues music of the American South - the Mississippi Delta region in particular - being shared by young bands in England. When groups like the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Kinks, The Zombies, et al arrived on our shores, they were already more influenced by American bluesmen than most of the teens they were playing to. Even the Beatles were playing tunes by Chuck Berry and Little Richard. The blues had been largely ignored by radio stations in the U.S., so we thought all the Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc. covers of their songs we were hearing were songs which had originated in England. The Animals with lead singer Eric Burden were a serious blues band.

[@mikemath9508]

It's always funny to see people discover old classics. I remember loving this song as a kid 30 years ago (and have ever since). Crazy to think it was already 30 years old at the time!

[@ninja_tony]

Yep, I’m 38 and first heard it when I was probably 7 or 8. My mom raised me on all the music she grew up with in the 60’s and 70’s, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@ninja_tony Same with my own Mom. I'm a bit older so I actually do remember feeling really bad when news came out about Karen Carpenter passing away. Mom took it pretty hard and I always liked Karen's voice and the fact that she was also a drummer. I was still a kid but it had some effect. I am fully aware that many people these days have NO IDEA who The Carpenters are. It's just really sad. Not enough people are raised on the Classics.

[@lynjenkins6473]

Imagine how it is for a 60+ for when these songs were new. I'm seeing so many people discovering the 60's, 70's and even 80's music that they have never heard of, but meant so much to so many in the day.

[@Ercarret]

@@lynjenkins6473 Haha, I can only imagine! Seeing people discover my childhood music (and movies etc) is a guilty pleasure pastime of mine. I love seeing people experiencing my favorite things for the first time.

[@Rick-or2kq]

@@lynjenkins6473 67 here the songs of the era were the backdrop of our youth. The 60's was a very turbulent decade, war, civil rights struggles, assassinations of major political figures, JFK, Malcohm X, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, all murdered within a 5-year period, many believing that it was plot to erase anyone that could bring about real change. It scared us in a way understanding that the elites would go to any limit to maintain their control.

[@maxsparks5183]

What a great review! I’ve known this song my entire life and loved it. I’m 66. It’s fantastic to witness your appreciation of this classic song performed by this seminal band. I guess I’ll subscribe. 😊

Eric Burdon - one of Britains best Blues voices of the 60's. So iconic, the song and this version. I love it.

[@jamescurfman3284]

Iconic enough for many bands to cover it. My favorite of those covers is by Five Finger Death Punch. They do some really amazing covers, that one included.

[@dnorfed]

The animals first playing this song was in 1964 at the odeon cinema in Southend in Essex England, Eric said we’re going to play our new song it’s called house of the rising sun, we recorded it a week ago, and it’s the first time anyone else has heard it, the crowd went wild, they played it 3 times, then the singer Eric said “ we’ve got to get off to welcome the star of the show, here he is, CHUCK BERRY, Chuck came on saying how do I follow that, with that he went straight into Johnny B good, and did the duckwalk, all true, I was there that very night

[@elarsh24]

I saw Eric Burdon 10 years ago, and he still sounded great! He made a lot of great music that still plays over FM airwaves. Yeah, I still listen to radio 🤷‍♂️ 60s bands that have unique sounds not usually mentioned are Blind Faith, Traffic, The Yardbirds, etc.

[@Russ-gy7tx]

Lead Singer Eric Burdon is powerful in every The Animal's record. "When I Was Young" was a big Fav from 1967. Eric also was with the group War, which released "Spill The Wine" in 1970.

You've got to realize that all those years ago, we basically only heard an artist on the radio. Some of us bought the album or 45, other's were lucky enough to see them live. There was no MTV or internet. Occasionally, these taped or live performances were seen, depending on where they were broadcast. TV wasn't the same either, not a massive number of channels.

[@MichaelCSmith-pi4no]

This song is a really old English Folk song and has been re-written and re-arranged since the 16th Century. This version is based off of a blues version of this song from the 30’s. There is a rich history to this song and on the last verse where he mentions “going back to the old ball and chain” refers to a time in our history where prisoners would wear a shackles anchored to a cannon ball to keep them from escaping the prison. Love this version and love your reactions. “Don’t let me be misunderstood”, “We gotta Get Out Of This Place” and “San Francisco Nights” are some great Animals songs to listen to and Eric Burden who is the lead singer has some great solo stuff and was also in the band called “War”. Another band worth checking out!! “spill the wine” is a great “War” song with Eric Burden as lead vocals. Other “War” songs include “Why Can’t we Be Friends”, “Cisco Kid” and “Low Rider” although Eric Burden was not the singer for those. Enjoy!!

[@kevinflynn4519]

An old English folk song about New Orleans?? That sounds ridiculous.

[@MichaelCSmith-pi4no]

@@kevinflynn4519 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun take a look at this Wikipedia page. You may be surprised. The version of this song that “The Animals” are playing is a re-telling of a blues version of the song from the 1930’s. But it wasn’t always a song about New Orleans. I loved this song and did some research on the songs origins and were as shocked as you are.

As a student of guitar, when they teach arpeggios, single sequential strings of the chords, this song is used for that. I've spent hours picking the chords one string at a time to this record, trying to match that rythm. Love your reaction!

[@jaybourne1185]

great emotional reaction aileen. "house of the rising sun" by the animals is one of my all time favorites from the 1960s. the eric burdon vocals and band are excellent and the styling, colors, etc of the video represent that time period so well and remind me of the american culture that followed from bands like the carpenters to tv shows like the partridge family, brady bunch, etc when i was very young. if you want to react to an amazing female version of this song, haley reinhart does an amazing job of capturing all the deep soul of this version while reinterpreting in bluesy slowed down way... the a-capella intro is genius and the way haley drops the third chorus down is great not to mention all that rasp, growls and belts that follow through to the end. she placed 3rd on AI in 2011, yet even today, many people consider her performance one of the best ever on that show. i subscribed and look forward to more emotional reactions... good luck with the channel! 😎

Heard many young people say has you did, that they were born in the wrong time, having lived that time 60's,70's it makes me smile to hear it. Yes, it was a great time for music.

[@Sp33gan]

This song is very old, its origins can be traced back to an English Folk song, brought to the US sometime in the early 1800s and slightly changed to suit whoever performed it. This version tells of a brothel in New Orleans and The Animals' version is the most well known. This video clip is a little weird, between some band members walking around the set and the drums and keyboard being moved later in the piece. You can also see the lack of cables on the guitars. It was filmed for a movie (I think it was titled Top Gear or Fab Gear?) This is the first lineup of The Animals, their gritty sound reflecting their upbringing in the rough neighbourhoods of Newcastle. After this version of the band broke up, guitarist Chas Chandler found himself in New York where he chanced upon seeing a young guitarist whose style absolutely floored him. He convinced this guy to come to the UK to help jump start his career, found him a drummer and bassist to back him and introduced the new trio to the world as the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

[@ronmullard5718]

The song “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals is a classic rock ballad that has been interpreted in many ways over the years. The song’s lyrics are based on a traditional folk song, and its meaning has been debated by music fans and scholars alike. According to the song’s writer, Eric Burdon, the song is about a young man who is warning his sister to stay away from the “House of the Rising Sun,” which is a metaphor for a brothel or a place of temptation. The song’s lyrics describe the ruin of “many a poor boy” who has been seduced by the house and its occupants. The song’s origins are unclear, but it is believed to have been written in the 17th or 18th century. It has been recorded by many artists over the years, including Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, and Nina Simone. The Animals’ version, which was released in 1964, is one of the most well-known and enduring versions of the song. The song’s meaning has been interpreted in many ways over the years. Some have seen it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation and the consequences of sin. Others have interpreted it as a commentary on the exploitation of women and the objectification of the female body. Regardless of its meaning, “House of the Rising Sun” is a powerful and haunting song that has become a classic of rock music. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless themes and its ability to evoke strong emotions in listeners.

Something I'll mention that I think is relevant...is that the bassist here at the time for The Animals (Chas Chandler) was later on very "instrumental" in helping Jimi Hendrix get discovered. Of course there's more to the story than that, but I'm not going into the full story here, too much to write about. If one wants to, just simply look up the whole back story behind Chas being recommended to check out Jimi in NYC in 1966, and what happened afterward.

A classic British band that lasted over 50 years, but barely were noticed by the press were The Pretty Things. They started as a straight-up blues/R&B band like The Rolling Stones (co-founding member Dick Taylor was an original member of the Stones) then evolved into maybe the first alternative band that experimented in all directions, credited with the first rock opera "S.F. Sorrow" and other great albums like "Parachute." They were the missing link between the blues rockers like the Stones, the Yardbirds, and Zeppelin; the adventurous songwriters like The Beatles, The Kinks, and the Who; and the psychedelic space rockers like Pink Floyd and Hawkwind. Bowie covered them, and they were signed to Zeppelin's label for a time. David Gilmour memorably joined them for "The Final Bow" a filmed record of one of their last concerts. Well worth a look and a listen.
