Without a doubt one of the best organ riffs in rock and roll. Kids your grandparents are way cooler than you ever imagined.
Amazing fact: the Animals recorded this song in one take! What talent. I played organ in a rock band back then and used to love playing this song!
Remember this was done 56yrs.ago
The greatest era of music.
Amen.
Its all just music. Doesn't matter what era its from, great is great. No one era has had more greats than another, though sometimes greats from certain eras are popularized more than those of other eras. Right now the greatest of this current era are hidden underground singing for those only who know to look.
Eric Burdon, the lead singer, was only 23 at the time. He’s now 80! This video was done in one take and no autotune then. It was just their talent.
Lip syncing
@@guillocrease no? This was actually eric burdon's voice and all done in one take
@@mattm9204 of course it is but in the video he’s miming, notice he has no mic, none of the instruments are plugged in, it was recorded in a recording studio not a tv studio
@@guillocrease oh yeah you're right
@@mattm9204 I love Eric burdon would never disrespect him
The power of his voice, the keyboards, the intensity, the crescendo.
Yes
The Animals were a group of working class lads from Newcastle in the north of England. It was a tough City and one of the most deprived areas in the country to grow up in at he time, it's still a bit like that even today. They recorded this song in one take as they had almost no money for studio time. Eric Burdon' booming gritty voice gave the band great presence. The Animals, The Kinks, Cream, Procol Harum and the Moody Blues were my favourite bands to see live at the time............:-)
Is that how the keyboard guy starts near the drummer, then ends up at the front and the drummer way in the back?
You probably also go around the internet repeating Trumpisms because someone else said it so must be true!
@@HalkerVeil Dear God! How can someone be THAT ignorant and THAT Stupid? The AUDIO track was done in one take in the studio, NOT the video. SMH.
Should have invested in some voice lessons.
Yank here who's been to Newcastle many times. Would describe it as a great party town nowadays, and the locals I worked with at a nearby industry as generally having a great work ethic. In my visits there over a couple decades, I witnessed general political sentiments had slowly shifted from leftist politics to a type of national populism. I'm sure Newcastle was much different in Burdon's youth.
Fantastic reaction . To see the look on your face of excitement/surprise!
"Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a great song from The Animals, also "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" (1965) HD/widescreen
Don't forget about "It's My Life."
Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood is a class act of Eric Burtons vocal and timing. It’s amazing
Yes, yes and yes, you are right! Those "Please Don't Let Me Be Missunderstood"!
Their cover of Please Don't Let Me Be Minsunderstood is good! 😊
"It's my life" by the animals. Eric Burdon looked fourteen but sounded like an older frontier man...as though his voice could echo through the mountains with no effort on his part.
That's my favorite song of theirs.
The Animals house of the rising sun this is the best version ever I sing this ALL the time , Great song ,
It's been my ringtone for years.
Listen to “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place.” I heard it was popular among the troops in Vietnam. It’s very edgy and has an iconic 60’s vibe.
Yup, it was nearly an anthem to those of us who served in the military during the Vietnam war.
Or when i was young
@@ronaldperkins4222 dont agree with all the us wars, but i still respect everyone that put their life on the line in war so respect to you
Actually a lot of them i dont agree with but still
Also because, as I have noted in TH-cam comments, Bruce Springsteen says every song he has ever written has its basis in "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place."
56 years isn't quite timeless, but it's damn close.
Hilton Valentine co-founded the Animals in Newcastle in 1963 alongside singer Eric Burdon, bassist Chas Chandler, organist Alan Price and drummer John Steel. Died today 30 January 2021 R.I.P
It's very rare that a song performed by a band is so driven by the keyboard. Every part of this song is controlled by the tempo of the organ instead of the drums or guitar.
Musci Trivia: The Bass player is Chas Chandler, the same guy who discovered Jimi Hendrix and paid for him to fly to London, introduced him to all his friends from the music scene, and paid for his first studio sessions. He gave us this music, and then he found Jimi...Legend!
No one can sing this like Eric Burdon; I was 13 when this was released and the kids were blown away by them that long ago
I was 10 years old! I loved that song then and I still love it! Eric Burdon is a great singer!
One of my favourite ever songs. Hard to believe they're English lads as you listen to this track. Lead singer was born during an air raid in 1941.
Vietnam Vet here: we gotta get out of this place. I’ve seen hundreds of grunts screaming out that song and meaning every word of it.
Love your stuff young lady. Love your reactions.
Love your energy.
Be well. Be happy. Enjoy your life as you see fit. ❤️🙏
sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Leighton Tanner instablaster :)
@Jaziel Sage Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Amen to that, Brother. Welcome home.
Robert Mills thank you for your service and god bless.
“We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”....great song by them.
That was clearly a Vietnamese Nam song! I was there in 1969 - 1970 USMC !
As someone who was a kid growing up in so-Cal when this song hit the airwaves in the mid 60's it's gratifying to see yet another generation discovering and appreciating this timeless music. Thank you for your review.
The tall bass player went on to manage jimmy hendrix!
@Jay Sizzle No, he basically discovered him brought him to England and co-manage him until 1968. Chandler recruited bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell as the other members of the Experience. Chandler provided the young musician with living accommodations and financed the Experience's first single "Hey Joe", before they had a recording contract. He was also instrumental in introducing Hendrix to Eric Clapton. It was Chandler's idea for Hendrix to set his guitar on fire.
He may well have murdered him but overall he was a decent guy and should not be judged for one small mistake...
@@Isleofskye As I understand he later held a press conference where he apologized profusely for Jimi's murder and said he'd just like to get on with his life. Seemed a private sort of chap.
All's Well That Ends Well as Shakespeare saod ...
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.
Hope you're doing well. Eric Burdon had one of those godly voices from england back then. We got to get out of this place is a great song from the Animals.
Was 14 years old when they sang this In the 1960.I'm 72 now.one of the best band ever
how luck you are, grew up with such notoriously fatalistic music.
This is actually not the original but it is the most commercially successful. The earliest official recording is from around 1925 but the folk song is really older than that.
Right. I believe this song comes under "author unknown" or "public domain".
Just a fabulous band. My favourite song of all time. Eric Burdons voice is so powerful and the keyboard solo is to die for. Always sends shivers up my spine.
I've heard this a thousand times and I'm stunned every time. They were just kids when they did this. Amazing record, appropriate reaction. Thanks.
3:20 The keyboard player, Alan Price, is a great musician who had a successful career in his own right. His contribution to "Rising Sun" is especially memorable.
Far from spotlights... but sure great organists of course. Maybe the best with manzarek in rock n roll era. Listen "is there anybody out there" in the alum called "a price on his head".
That VOX Continental organ Alan Price was playing could make some amazing sounds.
he robbed the rest of his bndmates and caused the band to split. Greedy man.
When this song was released (June, 1964), i was becoming 14 years old. I had never heard anything like it. I took an immediate deep dive into the blues, specifically the Mississippi Delta blues, which had driven and inspired so much of early artists of the British Invasion. Thank you, Erik Burdon, thank you, Animals for that help with my navigation through music. Mention should be made of keyboardist Alan Price for his part in the Animal's sound.
As they say, "Eric Burdon: Looks 15, sounds like he's 65"
Fantastic version that is leaps and bounds above all the rest of the versions. Recorded in one take in 1964, and went straight to number one in all of the charts.
A very talented band. The organist Alan Price has a successful solo career in UK and had a great voice. Chas Chandler the tall guitarist was the guy who persuaded Hendrix to come to UK and sponsored him in UK and got him to jam with Cream (Eric Clapton), which made his name overnight.
When I was a teenager hanging around the beach arcades playing pin ball and pool, this song was just about the only song EVERYone played on the juke box, day and night. It was THAT popular and Eric Burden just killed the vocal. They had a lot of hits but I'm pretty sure this was their most popular or at least best known.
I'm only 49, but was an only child and was raised mostly by uncles who were on the sketchy side. They would put their pool stick in a guitar case. Often as not there would be a revolver as well. Anyway, if you pay attention to the lyrics, this song is pretty outlaw
One of the greatest recordings, ever. There are previous, and subsequent, recordings of this song, but This is the definitive version. You Believe Eric is singing from the gates of the Rising Sun. A true classic.
Eric Burdon in this video was 23, looked 18 and sang with a voice of a 40 years old master singer.
I feel dated to realize how MANY of these "first time listening" videos there are for this song. Is it really possible that so many people did not hear this tune before? If you have ever heard of the Beatles, and how they had some insane dominance over the hit list in 1964, you should know that this was the song that unseated them for the #1 spot. This is not some hidden gem. This is an anthem for a generation. But please don't get me wrong, I am so gratified to see such universal adoration, from a younger demographic over the same song we fell in love with so long ago. Excellence is not bound by age.
Nice reaction Dani. Yes, Eric Burdon had a exceptional voice, and the right demeanor in his presentations. Enjoyed your astute commentary.
Eric Burdon is an amazing singer. Thanks for reviewing. I hope music like this never dies.
Eric's voice pierces right straight to your SOUL - mixing perfectly with the AMAZING instrumentals from one SUPERB band, playing as ONE!
"We Got to Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Monterey", San Francisco Nights", "Spill the Wine" are my suggestion from more songs from Eric Burdon and the Animals
This was a number one hit for the Animals in the UK, the US, and France in 1965...The Animals were an English rhythm and blues and rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s. The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No. 1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", "It's My Life", "Inside Looking Out", "I'm Crying" and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US.
I saw Eric Burdon in concert in 2015. Even well into his 70s, his voice was in fine form and he was still creating new music.
I can make an educated guess when I announce that I am one of the few here who saw the Animals performing live. They had a 1.5 hour gig in Warsaw, Poland, quite unique event considering those times there. Tune we are talking about became a mega hit in 1964 and broke the Beatles monopoly in British Invasion music. About video: a lot of people points out a fine quality of sound and picture. Yes, this is rather unusual for a material from that period of time, mind you, a number of video recordings with other then famous groups like the Beatles, the Kinks, the Zombies ect exists only in black-and-white format with tolerable quality. One is obvious: in the summer of 1964 Brits produced an avalanche of music which after over 50 years make present young generation speechless - and this is a best proof for masterpiece.
Was a Soldier in the Mekong Delta [Viet Nam, '64-'65]. We had a Juke Box (hooked up to a generator) in our Enlisted Mens Club [a shack] with only 2 records in it >> "Pretty Woman" & "House of the Rising Sun" & the latter made for excellent DRINKIN" MUSIC! Love you, Dani, and your sincere Reactions to so many Classic Oldies!
All the Best,
Ed Landers
The animals were quite an influential group. The organist was a guy called Alan Price. who had his own solo career with several top ten hits in the UK and appears in the Dylan documentary "Don't Look Back". The big guitar player was Chas Chandler, who later became the manager of the group Slade, who were the biggest selling act in the UK in the 1970s. they never really made it big in the US but you should totally check them out some day (I think you'd appreciate the vocals of their lead singer Noddy Holder). And the vocalist Eric Burdon is legendary and was, apparently, the eggman, as featured in The Beatles "I Am The Walrus".
CLASSIC HUGE #1 record from 1964..during the British invasion. ♥️🎼🎶
I've noted this elsewhere, but Animals check-out song #2 is We Gotta Get Out Of This Place. Bruce Springsteen says it is the inspiration for every song he's ever written.
This song is an all-time classic. It went to #1 on the pop charts in 1964. The Animals were one of the British Invasion groups that came over to the United States after The Beatles. Their excellent lead singer is Eric Burdon. Dani, other excellent songs from them that I suggest you try are "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "It's My Life", and "Don't Bring Me Down".
A wonderful staging of a great song by a fabulous, talented group. Bob Dylan was inspired to go electric after hearing this song. The guitarist is smiling at the end because he hit his guitar on the stage pillar and they quickly did a second take from that point. You can see he raises his guitar extra high as he goes by the pillar. It was too hard for him not to laugh at the goof.
The Animals heard Dylan's 1962 version, started doing it live when they toured with Chuck Berry, and then decided to record it.
The song is a traditional folk tune that's at least 130 years old. It's often assumed that the eponymous House is a bordello, but the lyrics are so vague that it could be anything, and the gender of the storyteller has flipped back and forth because of this.
Yes i went to see Chuck Berry in London and as you say the Animals toured with him and sang this song as soon as the released this as a single i went and bought it . Great band.
Growing up in the 1960's and 1970's was so great! We had such fantastic music!!!
Very underrated group, in the shadow of the Beatles. Found out recently that the lead singer is from Newcastle, where I live....The song is amazing for it's storytelling as well as the organ, very unique.
The whole group were from Newcastle.
@@Stubbsy5050 Thank you, didn't know that.
I grew up with the 60s music. Swinging Carnaby Street, Twiggy, George Best, Pinewood and Ealing Studios, Jaguar E-Type,. We were in heaven.
I was not born when this song came out but i grew up loving that song because of the voice and music...
“Sky Pilot “ from the later group Eric Burdon and the Animals is really good.
That is true it is so epic!
That psychedelic line up was not that good i think. Just a few tracks were good like "paint it black" "ring o' fire" bla bla bla...
The Animals are an interesting group in that they were massively, ridiculously popular in the sixties -- as in, near The Beatles levels early on -- but they sort of vanished into obscurity as time went on. It doesn't help that the band absolutely fell apart. Chas Chandler, the big bassist, is the man who "discovered" Jimi Hendrix and gave up music shortly thereafter to become a scout, manager, and producer. He was disillusioned with making music as they were working their tails off but not seeing a lot of money. Jimi Hendrix became great friends with Eric Burdon, the lead singer, who was utterly devastated after Jimi's death. Chandler died of a heart attack in the early nineties. Alan Price, the very talented keyboardist, is a lot of the reason why the band wasn't seeing profits. When they signed their early contracts, all royalties were going to him, rather than to the band. They were young and naïve, and thought it would all work out with Price divvying out the profits. He did not, and there was a horrible falling out, with Price going on to a fairly successful solo career. Years later, Burdon approached him and tried to bury the hatchet, saying, "Hey, you can keep all the profits you've gotten. Let's just structure things so that everyone in the band shares them going forward, and we can get back together." Price told him to get bent. They haven't spoken since. John Steel, the drummer, left and joined another band, which changed its name to... The Animals. This did not sit well with Burdon and Hilton Valentine (the lead guitarist), and they severed ties with him. Valentine went on to a lengthy but only moderately successful solo career, and Burdon jumped around, finding fame again with War and by other means. None of the band performs at all together any longer, though, and only Burdon and Valentine are on speaking terms.
I always respected the Beatles for their body of work. I can listen to whole albums and enjoy each title. Their strength was song writing and arrangements but still capable musicians. However they did not have that extra gear with a virtuoso musician or that inimitable voice. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is a good example which I think is the Beatles best title with the help of Eric Clapton.
So what I am saying is if you take Beatles and the Animals together, my top 5 favorite titles are from the Animals. Looks like Alan Price as you explain(and thank you for that) was just as naive in another way. The Animals were more than the sum of their parts.
Funny thing if you read the inside of their album (at least if I remember it correctly from when I was in high school) they have q & a w/ each band member on their likes/goals/etc. Chaz Chandler (basist) said his dream is to travel to America and meet real blues men on their own turf. Of course, he later came to America and "discovered" Jimi Hendrix, brought him back to England where he hooked him up with a base player & drummer and the rest is history. Pretty wild destiny.
One of the greatest singles of all time, no question.
This will always be my favorite song of theirs an iconic masterpiece for sure
Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young (1967) - maybe it´s a little bit forgotten but also super great - yeah yeah :)
I have lost track of how many "REACTION" videos I have watched/listened to. I love when I see the smiles or "OH WOW face". I can never see/hear the video/song for the first time ever again, EXCEPT... when I see each person's reactions when they see/hear it for the first time.... It's beautiful!
Best song from 1964! And that vocal and VOX is bonkers!
This actually isn't the original version but it inspired nearly all that came after it
"House Of The Rising Sun" is a brothel. It's a story written by an unknown woman who was driven into a life of Prostitution that she could not escape. It's true American folk lyrics. The Animals put the music to the lyrics and changed the word "girl" into "boy". Her story took place in the old south down in New Orleans. The Band did a fantastic job on the song and Eric Burdon's lead vocal is unmatched. Those high notes he continually hits are relentless but he almost makes it look easy. The vocal range on the song is two octaves from A2 to tenor A4.
I was six years old when this came out. I liked it back then. I still like it.
Pure English 60S Magic from a time long gone by... Shame they don't make tracks like this anymore.
Great choice, Dani - Vandy fully approves of such awesomeness. You get a like from me.
"House of Rising Sun" was said to have been known by miners in 1905.[6] The oldest published version of the lyrics is that printed by Robert Winslow Gordon in 1925, in a column "Old Songs That Men Have Sung" in Adventure magazine.[9] The lyrics of that version begin:[9][10]
There is a house in New Orleans, it's called the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many poor girl
Great God, and I for one.
And that folks is how an orange top Vox Continental V301J with English wooden keys and custom shortened valve stops sounds like.
I think the guitar player behind the lead singer had a big grin on his face at the end, thinking about how perplexed you may be to wonder how the organist moved from the back to the front without you noticing. Anyway, one of my favorites of theirs is "San Franciscan Nights."
He’s grinning because he knows the song is drilling into your DNA.
Glad you found this landmark recording.
The high quality visuals are from the UK colour movie film Pop Gear filmed in 64 released in 65. US re titled as Go Go Mania.
No colour TV in UK in 64 and no audience in this.
Film gave the great image quality, but dubbed sound was what audiences wanted to be like the record. Simpler too.
Lots of clips of Pop Gear on TH-cam for the searching..
Intro by some dodgy TV UK host who when he died his family pulled the headstone down, such was his depravity.
Just some history of the song. The House of the Rising Sun was a brothel, a house of prostitution. The girls in the 1800s would put red lamps in front of their homes, thus the name and the term 'red light district'. Leadbelly, the Black folk singer has a video of the original lyrics about a girl...this song goes back over a century, it's an American folk song. The lyrics were changed to the young man telling the tragic, ruined story of his life of gambling and drinking and crime in the brothel. He committed a crime and is being sent back to New Orleans 'to wear that ball and chain'...what the prison guards attached to the convict's ankle to deter escape attempts. So this British band took an old American folk song and did it proud! This was a favorite back in the day but I am happy to have lived long enough to see the archival video of Leadbelly...we only had books of the songs and singers in the '60s. The story of the song explains the grit and pain in the singer's voice narrating the story of his life. I like the way he was so matter of fact in the narrative, offering a warning to others, too late for himself. Thank you for picking this song.
This is a masterpiece but Don't Let me be Misunderstood should not be missed.
Did you know the bass player "Chas Chandler" after "The Animals" went on to manage "Slade" & "Jimi Hendrix,"
The lead singer is Eric Burdon. That was sixty years ago. You wouldn't recognize him today. Check out his other song. ''SPILL THE WINE''
That Mysterious look on their face ,is jet lag ,from Britain 🇬🇧. Eric Burdon is a Geordie from the North East of England. You wouldn't understand a word he spoke, but he sang like a champion.
First record I ever bought cost 7 and 6 showing my age third of a. Pound old money I was blown away then and still am today Eric burdons voice is incredible soulful I would say Alan price keyboards what a natural talent great group one of many in my misspent youth Eric went on to do a track called San Francisco nights only one of many favourites great reaction I envy your voyage of discovery enjpy
The singer, Eric Burdon, was also the lead singer of the band War in the early 70's. Check out their song "Spill the Wine".
Awesome reaction video of the animals house of the rising sun. Yes an awesome group . And great harmonies as well. Hey dani. Just to let you know another legend of country singers this past Friday at the age of 78. Jerry jeff walker who had hits with Mr boganles , and La Freeway. He had been battling throat cancer R.I.P. jerry you,ll be miss by all the music fans all around.
When I was younger by the animals is a good song.
This, as some other people mentioned, isn't the original. The song is an old folk song going back to the late 1800's.
This version has an interesting story behind it. Although the melody sounds pretty much the same in most versions, most of the earlier versions were played with just two chords, commonly A and D. Some would throw in an additional chord or two. It wasn't until the early sixties that this Am-C-D-F-Am-C-E chord pattern arrangement was created by a folk/blues singer, Dave Van Ronk, who lived in Greenwich Village. He let Bob Dylan stay with him and his wife for a while and Dylan learned the song from him.
After Dylan moved out, Van Ronk saw him on the street and Dylan told him he was cutting his first album and wanted to use House of the Rising Sun with Van Ronk's chord arrangement. Van Ronk asked him to wait, he said "I told him, 'Everyone knows you're going to make it Bobby, and I'm about to cut my first album to and would like to release that song first'". Dylan said he was sorry, but it was already in the can.
Dave Van Ronk said he was pretty angry at Dylan and would get even more upset after Dylan's album came out and people started asking him "Hey, can you play that Dylan song, House of the Rising Sun?". But he said the funny part was after The Animal's did the song, and Dylan would get annoyed when people started coming up to him and requesting "that Animal's song, House of the Rising Sun."
I actually like all three versions, although Dylan's version was pretty much the same as Van Ronk's except for Dylan's unique voice and he changed the words so the song's subject was a man instead of a woman. Of course, The Animals version, although using the same chord patterns, was radically different sounding because of the electric blues-rock sound. And of course it became the most popular version of all. Eric Burdon did acknowledge that he learned of the song through the Dylan version.
They did
"We Gotta get Out of This Place"
These youtube reaction videos to the soundtrack of my youth are a gas for me to watch. These kids, young people, whatever, are just now discovering how much beauty and richness existed before they were born. It's a good thing but sad in a way...that they've been growing up in a generation void of real song, of real melodies, of real music. I cannot imagine living that way.
It's not void of any of they things 😊
Nice reaction, interesting to listen to and some intelligent perspective. I will definitely check out your other reactions.
I had always wondered why towards the end of the video Hilton Valentine, the guitarist, is laughing, and recently found out why. As the video is all done in one take they had to move, off-camera, Alan Price and his keyboard 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! That anecdote made me smile and provides a little warmth captured in time to an amazing video made more than 50 years ago.
Love your channel, just started watching. What I love the most is seeing your reaction to the songs of my generation, to see and feel what we did at the time. It' a beautiful thing to witness the younger generation discover and appreciate the music of the past too.
Don't no why your 1year old vedio just popped on my you tube but I'm so glad it did ,I BELIEVE one of the most underated British bands .of the era .
The song--1850's folk song, about a young GIRL--snared into prostitution in the Brothel etc etc called 'The Rising Sun' , Words were changed over the years to a Young Boy, turning bad, gambling drinking, drugs etc etc Bob Dylan heard this on his car radio, pulled over, to listen to it. Very impressed
The bass player in the Animals, Chas Chandler, was in a tiny club in London with friends and saw a young guitar player performing, he immediately offered to manage him. The guitarist, and the backing band that Chas put together for him, went on to achieve just a little success. The guitarist was Jimi Hendrix.
Eric was an underated singer because the Animals got overshadowed by the Beatles. Thankfully they got inducted in the R & R Hall of Fame. Others mentioned their other hits here. When he was with War in 1970 had,a great psychedelic song SPILL THE WINE. Worth checking out, different but very good.
In this same session they did Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood. Same set and outfits. Another great song of theirs is We Got To Get Out Of This Place.
Most people do not notice that the mic is a not close up like they are today so the volume of his voice would be every greater with close up microphones that we have today. He has the most volume and intensity of any singer without showing any strain on his face or in his voice. This is the only song that learned how to play on the piano and I love this version of this song the best.
this has so much soul in it
LOL! Your reactions are so cute! YES, The Animals were awesome. Do some more reaction of their tunes. "It's My Life", "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place", "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" to name a few. Also, Eric Burdon (The Singer) teamed up with the band War and had a big hit called "Spill The Wine".
The 1960's was a time when microphones and recording equipment were getting good enough that every nuance of a performance could be captured.
Hi-Fi and stereo became the new normal for listening to music, further driving the demand for musicians with genuine talent.
As the tech improved, 'tuning' became all the rage: a cheap producer could put a hack singer in a booth with a crappy mic and make hit with the right 'conditioning' software...
Wanna know why music from 'back then' was so good?
It had to be!
A one of a kind voice definitely. Eric Burdon later became the lead singer for War and made more great music. BUT you MUST react to We gotta get out of this place and Don't let me be misunderstood by the Animals. Thanks for this one Dani.
And now I see that you have. Sorry.
Spill the wine when he was with war was another really good song that was the band he was in after the animals
British music has led the world for decades now! Exemplary track
Eric's voice - dark & edgy. Anyone wouldn't believe that howling vocals coming out of that young man if you see him in a suit walking down the street. That's what ROCK is all about. Dangerous.
I m a older Woman as turns 65 this year , I was 9 years old when I heard this song for the first time and dont understand english back then. I was blown a way by Erics voice fellt as elektricitet thru my body ,and I cryd like a river goesbumps all over. The Animals has more god songs listen to when the Crow Flies, I was born to sing The blues mfl I love this songs but the House of rasing sun is my favo song . Yes Erics voice is aoutstanding and solful
I believe that zone you are talking about is them being sick of doing retake after retake. You can see it in their faces how tired they were. The big smile on the guitar players face at the end said it all!
They didn't do re-take after re-take though. They had very limited studio time to do this video.But I take your broader point. I think The Animals were worked very hard by a greedy manager who swagged most of the money, and Eric said they were ALWAYS tired.
My second favorite song of Eric Burdon is "It's my life"
One of the horses of Elvis Presley was called Rising Sun and on his stable he wrote House of Rising Sun 😉
I like to think Elvis was an admirer of this song. He would recognise great vocals better than anyone.
