As a 14 year old, just learning guitar and living in Franconia, Virginia, watching this in the rec room with them playing the entire song LIVE, in that moment of time, completely, utterly, exploded my mind forever. By the time the 3rd verse came around and Eric delivers his intense vocal, I became a life long fan of The Animals. John Steel plays part Bo Diddley and part Surf: incredible. Thank you Lord for allowing me to live long enough to see this again. Amen.
This is another reminder of how wonderfully diverse pop music was in '64. Like you, I'm glad that I lived through it then and am able to enjoy it again now. Peace...
@@SideGigSquid I love Tom Petty and H. They are my favorite band. I have heard their version, it is good. But in MHO the Animals do it best. I think Tom would have agreed.
You hear a lot about the British music invasion in America with bands like the Beatles etc but they never mention the animals. Shame I'm think they are one of the best British bands of all time.
One of the few bands who were solid enough to play live without a backing track or having to lip synch. Thanks Mr Ed Sullivan for giving a spot to all those fabulous bands and performers.
I was down the high street and a young guy 14or 15 was listening to them it mad me smile it just shows they are still amazing, evertime Erik Burton.sings. It sounds different every time you won't get anyone on x factor like them
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones may have had more hits. Mick Jagger was (and still is) a great frontman, but no British band had the lead vocal pipes that Eric Burdon had. He was probably the best lead vocalist of all the British Invasion bands.
I always felt the UK has the best bands and singers and this is definitely one of them. Love, love, love 😀The Animals and still enjoying them at age 73. 💚💙💜👍
WOW how hot a performance is this!! one of my all time favorite songs !! Hear me crying is a classic!!! The energy from just this raw live performance is amazing!! Eric not only tears it up but listen to Chas rockin out, Hilton banging away and Price pounding the keys!! Man you cant ask for a better live set than this!! LONG LIVE THE ANIMALS!!!
This was the opening act on the Ed Sullivan Show. In the second half their performance of "The House of the Rising Sun" was preempted by a presidential address from Lyndon Johnson, to the dismay of many Animals fans.
@@jonking00 It was East Coast, too, on WCBS-TV in New York. When LBJ came on with his usual monotonous tone, my brother and I cursed at the TV! We had waited so long to finally see The Animals perform live on TV.
Incredible Alan Price and Eric Burdon composition; it's a shame that they both look at this song with so much disdain! It's such a high energy and fun number, with a great Hilton solo and instrumentation in general! Always a treat to see this one live.
@@zickafoose yes, especially in his 30’s and 40’s. I think he still looks good for an 80 year old man. I don’t know of any other men his age that look as good as he does.
This band has amazing vibe! Unique Vox! I can't believe "The house of the rising son" is their only song played on classic rock radio. Just recently got more into "The Animals" thanks to TH-cam. I'm on a major 50s/60s rock kick lately!
When I was a 15 year old kid in the 60's they got lots of airplay, including this song. They were big. Things get lost over the years, unfortunately. Lots of good songs have drifted away into the sea of forgotten songs.
Erice Burdon has been my favorite singer since about the time that girl up the street loaned me her parent's record Animalization. That must have been about 1980, 81? She thought I was weird to be into this "old stuff." She was such a good person and she died at age 30. Still don't know the circumstances. It wasn't as if she could have texted me back in those days. When you moved, you were GONE and all those you knew were gone unless phone numbers were written down.
My favorite male singer is a tie between Eric Burdon and Ray Charles. I saw Eric Burdon and The Animals live in 2008. I met Hilton Valentine, after the show. May Chas Chandler and Hilton Valentine rest in peace. Cheers!
Thanks for uploading this video - the sharpest, cleanest version of this Ed Sullivan clip that I've seen! Agree with the other commenters about Chas Chandler's wonderful back-up vocals on this and many other Animal tracks.
I love the genre of music I love the guitars I love the way they move and shake and I have a rock ‘n’ roll band and I really want to do stuff like that and scream shout play guitar move around modern music still rocks my socks off but this stuff rocks my shoes off
Even though this will be seven months to respond to I also love the style that they would sing in the swagger of Eric Burdon and Jagger and the skill of the Beatles just makes me feel something like the feeling that I could get up and do that if I worked my ass off, I could and just the pure craziness of Keith moons drumming and I the swinging blue jeans I love their cover of long tall Sally
I always liked this lesser known Animals song

i’m from lynchburg virginia hi 👋
You should check out the Tom petty cover of this song.

@@SideGigSquid aint half as good as this!
The energy is awesome! increíble!
My God! What a voice!😳And of course the song is awesome, especially for the 60s🔥
Eric Burden and The Animals FOREVER!
Love Eric voice, one of the best voices out there in the sixties 👋👋👋👋👋
One of the best voices to this day!
You hear a lot about the British music invasion in America with bands like the Beatles etc but they never mention the animals. Shame I'm think they are one of the best British bands of all time.
Yo diria de la HISTORIA
Рок 🎸 навсегда здорово 👍
Perhaps one of the most energetic performances of this band ever, especially compared to their other Ed Sullivan appearances
Oh yeah 👍
They had to have been on amphetamines or something like that! 💀😂 (amphetamines [not methamphetamine] were VERY popular in the early-mid 60s)
If you haven't already, check out their live performance at Wembly 1965, especially the songs BOOM BOOM and Talking About You. My mind was blown!
The amount of self confidence that he presented was intoxicating!
Now this was Real Music.
Pure greatness. 1964 lol. One of the great Ed Sullivan performances ever. Live
Chas Chandler deserves more praise as a bassist and a singer. He had a great voice.
Yes thats true and he was a great bass player,
I’m pretty sure he worked with jimi Hendrix at some point.
He is my favorite bass player all time. He even inspired me to play bass
@@Tpabisasnoozefest he's was his manager :)
@@Tpabisasnoozefest He took Hendrix to England and set up The Experience.
One of the few bands who were solid enough to play live without a backing track or having to lip synch. Thanks Mr Ed Sullivan for giving a spot to all those fabulous bands and performers.
For a couple of years , the best band on the planet
They still are the best on this planet. Nobody can compare.
Raw, real, and rocking, baby!
I was down the high street and a young guy 14or 15 was listening to them it mad me smile it just shows they are still amazing, evertime Erik Burton.sings. It sounds different every time you won't get anyone on x factor like them
Best of all the english groups
Good shit. Pretty crazy for 64
Wild for 64! The British Invasion just ripped our teeth out!
SING IT, little big Eric!
Love Eric's voice.
The best song ever!!
Lots of Good Energy ✌️
Love love love this! And Eric was only 23 right? How fantastic was he! I am just overwhelmed by this performance.
Good voice but not a good song.
@@Methildewhy not good song?
Just comparing with others Animals great songs
@@Methilde i see..
I love in this clip they all are singing and grooving with the song, way better than the stones
They were so good and talented!
Yes they are great Chas Chandler rocks
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones may have had more hits. Mick Jagger was (and still is) a great frontman, but no British band had the lead vocal pipes that Eric Burdon had. He was probably the best lead vocalist of all the British Invasion bands.
Queen
What about Paul Jones and Mike Smith also Roger Daltrey
Toda LA Razon Del Mundo Entero y Mundial ♥️ 😊
Pobre voz de Lennon...La voz de Maccartney es muy seca😮
Colin Blunstone comes to mind...
This is their original line-up with organist Alan Price.
'I'm Crying' reached no. 8 in the UK.
Alan Price amazing keyboardist
and a good vocalist himself
Real fast fingers!
Awesome ride rhythms by the drummer.
Those moves
I always felt the UK has the best bands and singers and this is definitely one of them. Love, love, love 😀The Animals and still enjoying them at age 73. 💚💙💜👍
The Animals were influenced by American R&B so it definitely showed up in their music. Love the band!!
No. England has better bands, and the United States has better singers.
WOW how hot a performance is this!! one of my all time favorite songs !! Hear me crying is a classic!!! The energy from just this raw live performance is amazing!! Eric not only tears it up but listen to Chas rockin out, Hilton banging away and Price pounding the keys!! Man you cant ask for a better live set than this!! LONG LIVE THE ANIMALS!!!
Hilton banging away???
All of them banging their heads!
@@ilovesmysangsomsangsom3500 Yep! Banging away on those six strings on his Gretsch Tennessean!!
This was the opening act on the Ed Sullivan Show. In the second half their performance of "The House of the Rising Sun" was preempted by a presidential address from Lyndon Johnson, to the dismay of many Animals fans.
Ed Sullivan only allowed them to peform I'm Crying if they performed House, which they didn't to perform.
That was on the West Coast, I remember it vividly. So traumatic ... and by that I don't mean the B.S. Tonkin Gulf "crisis" that ruined the moment.
@@jonking00 It was East Coast, too, on WCBS-TV in New York. When LBJ came on with his usual monotonous tone, my brother and I cursed at the TV! We had waited so long to finally see The Animals perform live on TV.
We don't have any bands like this today.....
Incredible Alan Price and Eric Burdon composition; it's a shame that they both look at this song with so much disdain! It's such a high energy and fun number, with a great Hilton solo and instrumentation in general! Always a treat to see this one live.
👏👏for Eric Burdon!
Guess I'm a big fan now !
The Animals teaching how to cry and dance a go-go at the same time.
ha ha ha!
What a cute kid he was, along with being a great singer!
He even got cuter!
@@zickafoose yes, especially in his 30’s and 40’s. I think he still looks good for an 80 year old man. I don’t know of any other men his age that look as good as he does.
The most articulate, Blues/Rock/Soul singer of all time - Mr. ERIC BURDON!
outstanding, probably one of the first "live" broadcasts ever
Phenomenally cool !
Really Great 👍 Performance ❗😄
British Mississippi 'from the gut' music. Song still sound kick a**!
This band has amazing vibe! Unique Vox! I can't believe "The house of the rising son" is their only song played on classic rock radio. Just recently got more into "The Animals" thanks to TH-cam. I'm on a major 50s/60s rock kick lately!

The Animals are one of the great groups of The British Invasion. Eric Burdon is a living legend.
Youthful Eric had the voice of an ancient country blues man.
Fantastic performance.
I love what he’s doing with the drums on this.
Good song on the record. Absolute fire live. Animals live.....get the burn suits. Cuz it's a scorcher!
What a voice!
Eric was a force of nature!
2:28 Eric and his great dance moves!
Thigh-slapping good.
Gotta love those thighs! 🥰
One of the best front man of all times!
One of my favorite bands of the sixties!
And that's just how they did it...
Thank you for sharing! 💖
thats some extraordinary piece of singing, Burdon amazed me again even though i heard this one many times
Powerful performance. 👏👏🎶🎵🎼🎸🎹🎹🎤🎤
Wow I love the energy of this performance. Showcases the whole band. Brrilliant
They always played with such energy

Really good
That drummer is working harder than a single dad with 5 kids to support and no money in the bank.
The Animals amazing group! Just good songs.
Eric Burdon shouting it out what a great voice and performance
EB is so badass In this song Hell yes
You got that right.
Still luv it 😂😂❤
He is definitely the Icon of Blue’s Rock !! ❤🎉👍✌️😎
just love them
que guapo era eric dios mío
Truly another Great band and Great song!
so energy!
Really a great drum track!! 5 stars!!
Wonderful !!! Thank you so much !!!
One of my favorite animals tunes for sure
Great to see so much of John Steel on the drums. He really works in this one :)
Great jazz drummer like Charlie watts and the great ginger baker
Rest In Peace, Hilton Valentine
50 years ago and still amazing
It's been 60 years
My favorite male singer is a tie between Eric Burdon and Ray Charles. I saw Eric Burdon and The Animals live in 2008. I met Hilton Valentine, after the show. May Chas Chandler and Hilton Valentine rest in peace. Cheers!
Have you heard The Animals cover of 'Hit the Road Jack'? Its on youtube and if you haven't, you should....as a fan of both singers....
Pure classic....Pop
I
Loved them!
I sure miss rock and roll.
One of the best songs they soon sang The Animals.And Eric what a beautiful beast😍
Cool video quality💋👌
Ace, I couldn’t agree more! He was a god! SO HOT!
What a kind of nuke is this????? Is pure Radio 261, and Uranium 238, is pure Energy!!!!!!!
Such a great song!!!
1965-i remember this one
1964

Better than the rolling Stones
Maybe at this stage of the game, but that quickly changed by 1966. The Dave Clark Five kept with the Beatles for 18 months.
@@sparkleon4love27 what? Ha ha Burdon was so more soulful than jagger
Yes, no comparison. The Animals were far better than the Stones.
@@sparkleon4love27 I never cared for the Stones except for "No Satisfaction".
Arguably so, friend. Arguably so.
Even with a crappy sound system. They’re still good.
Tear it up!
Such an awesome singer and band
I looooooove how they move their bodies!!!!! And the ending is wooowwwwwwwwww!!!
Sensational
Damn my boys be getting it 🤘
Eric at his best live voice...
GEORDIES ROCK
Alan Price has always been my hero - simply AMAZING!!!!!!
youah un rock dans toute sa splendeur , respect !!!
