- This video seems to have disappeared. There is another version of this with a 50 second introduction here: www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=TpNWSW49IBM . But the version I'm uploading does not have the introduction.
Until viewing You Tube I was not aware of Eric Burdon and The Animals, I had heard their songs, but didn't know who sang them. It's not a good idea for You Tube to remove these videos since they are a form of marketing and they make people aware of these artists. For example I just bought the 2 CD set "The Complete Animals [Extra Tracks] [Import]" from Amazon. They contain 41 tracks, the complete recordings made with Mickie Most as producer. Some of their future songs are not included since Mickie Most was not the producer at that time. Wouldn't have bought these CDs had I not learned about Eric Burdon and The Animals from these You Tube videos.
Man, Burdon can sing. There is nothing like that voice, or this calibre of song in music today.
totally agree with ya !
So true. There is no talent anymore
You've been living under a rock huh?
I agree --- I still have their first album that I bought when I was a teenager
One of the most underrated singers of the 60's....
Also, back then, we didn"t get to know or see much about the bands or artists with no internet & just one black & white t. v. (In a large family) & a few radios that you had to listen to whatever station you could get without too much static. You rarely got your choice of what to watch. This is why I also unfortunately didn't appreciate or get to enjoy Eric Burdon & .. ..... until seen on the internet. Then I quickly realized Eric Burdon was already the singer on most of my favorites over all these years. Been infatuated with him ever since.
underrated for ya..
The most amazing thing about this song is that it has such a huge amount of meaning to everyone. I know that I'm thirteen, and completely dissatisfied with my generation, and nothing sums up how I feel about it like this song does.
Ironic that it's forty years old, isn't it? The best songs never get old.
Fabulous vocals by Eric Burdon, superb back up vocals, great song. It's easy to see why Eric Burdon went on to be one of the best rock & rollers of all time.
😍😘😘😘
This live version KICKS ASS! What a powerful voice and great band. Thanks for posting this and a big thank you to all who served and helped in Vietnam.
The best part about this music is that all generations can relate which (in my eyes) makes it timeless.
Unlike most rock stars, Eric Burdon had a natural born raw badass punk sadomasochistic Catholic schoolboy attitude with extra large balls. His tell-it-like-it-is repertoire of songs and aggressive vocal kick-ass style added up to one of the most excellent examples of a time period that is sorely missed.
Brother,I've never seen a better paragraph written on Eric.You said it all........
EXACTLY!! Well said !
Totally agree!
+Mrariesdave Indeed ... Mark Twain couldn't have spit it out any better.
+blueticecho Brilliant storyteller, Twain, but an idiot on religion!
man i've been digging the animals since i was 7 yrs old, i grew up listening to all this great music, the 60's were so awesome, nothing compares to this here folks...
I was born in 1982 and because my parents were awesome about music i got to experience a lot of different kinds. I have to say that The Animals are one of my favorite bands.. i love all the bands from that era, i swear i must have been reincarnated from some one in that time.... Eric Burdon has such a great voice, love him!!!
i was 17 during my Army tour of 'nam and this dude kept my mind together to go home even though it was a song from '66 it made sense big time!
great song still holds up today--glad he recorded it
This song was the wrap up song at about every dance at our high school between 1966 and 1969.
My daughter and I use to blast this in the car and scream at the top of our lungs every time we went on holidays when she was a little child :-) Now she's 18 and I'm 50, I got into her car the other day as she was driving me home from the hospital and she popped a CD in and cranked this song for us LOL!!! It was the best medicine :-)
Was the closing song for every USO show I went to in Vietnam during 1969 and 1970. Instant flashbacks.
Thank you daveglightning for your service!
All gave some, some gave ALL
So great to see the man(band) live! That voice(music) lives in the hearts of many.
Eric Burdon has ALWAYS ruled.
Ryan Mason THE MASTER : THE LEGEND. THE GREATEST WHITE MAN BLUES SINGER OF ALL TIME ✌️
HAPPY 70TH TODAY DADDY, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE FOR US, I LOVE YOU MORE THEN WORDS CAN SAY, MAY THIS SONG PLAY FOREVER IN OUR HOUSE AS A TRIBUTE TO YOU AND THE FANTASTIC LIFE YOU HAVE GIVEN THIS FAMILY! WATCH MY DADDY IN BETTER TIMES HIS HAIR BEEN TURNING GREY HE'S BEEN WORKING SO HARD YEAHHHHHHHHHH!
we all worked hard especially during your tour
This song was sometimes sung by fellow servicemen and myself when we were in boot camp - for obvious reasons, I think.
Yep, B-2-1 Ft. Gordon, GA - Jun & Jul 69.
This never gets old. Been listening to it since I was a kid.
It was the anthem for us grunts (Infantrymen) in Vietnam.
Robert McGuire Welcome home, sir. Thank you for your service.
thank you for your service fellow solider from a Brit you are the one true Friends of us
Robert McGuire I marched and prayed for you while you were fighting. You are and always be our heroes. Thank you soldier and May God Bless You and your family✌️
And for our team i KFOR 9/DANBN 2003-04!
But it really p.ssed off the colonel!
The Animals were my second concert (after The Beatles!). I saw them in a high school gym--Eric Burdon walked right by me as he went onstage. I am so happy that young people are discovering this great band.
Man, Eric Burdon is so fuckin' cool.
Love the Animals. Always have since I started listening in 65. One of the great 60's bands. One the greatest bands of all time.
Gorgeous man, fantastic voice, brilliant band
Eric has one of the BEST singing voices I've heard
Eric Burdon sang with such a raw passion! Thanks for posting this great video.
he is just amazing.....where the hell does someone his age get that kind of stage presence and confidence
When it came to singing the blues, little Eric was king!
I love this hot shorty!
I can remember like yesterday singing this song as we left the school (Catholic) cafeteria single file when I was in the 7th grade. The nuns would shush us but we met them only halfway and lowered the volume. The song was our anthem in so many ways.
Yeah sounds like my school & I felt like "We gotta get outta this place" if it's the last thing we ever do." & Then at graduation it was "School's Out Forever!"---Alice Cooper ( A man ahead of his time in my opinion)🥴
I grew up with great music, so lucky
+vic vega Great song to drive down the road with the windows down and the wind in your hair
jgstargazer ditto not. so much hair now lol
ever listen to kbilly super sounds of the 70s?
Wow! Remember this song as if was popular yesterday, Great song, Great group !! Love it!
Our Theme Song in 1969 Vietnam
and '66, '67, '68
welcome home sir
Nam 67-68 and it sure as hell wasn't spring break. welcome home brother and thank you for your service.
You gotta be, what? Pushing 60? And you're still trying to garner sympathy on fucking TH-cam?
Thank You for your Support my Brother from another Mother
My God what a voice! Absolutely incredible.
Very sexy!
The Beatles loved the Animals.Eric could sing English Blues and they appreciated it.
This was one of the first songs my dad taught me on bass, along with the bass part for "I Saw Her Standing There" (which was the bass part for Chuck Berry's "I'm Talking About You"). From there it was me listening to, and playing along with, all of his old records (mainly the Beatles, but also the Animals, Beach Boys, Byrds, and Stones), and that's how I learned how to play bass and guitar.
Such a great song and group! The bassist, Chaz Chandler, was the fellow who managed Jimi Hendrix I believe. Here he is, tearing up the main bass riff that made this song.
Man - even listening to them now, Eric Burdon had one of the best rock voices of all time.
One of the best voices in music
good voices for our troops when we were in 'nam
wow all i can say is that Eric Burdon has the voice no man can sing like him
♥♥ Rebels in suits and ties.
LOL
Pretty much forced on them to appeal to the Americans.
awsome talent, wish i could of seem them perform back then. I thank god I can see him perform this way. Thank you.
this speaks loudly of the sixties experience..
It seems like I listened to most every gritty working-class British bands...somehow these guys slipped under my radar. Very good stuff...
Oh! the memories. I loved the 60's!
Eric Burdon was way ahead of his time and his music is timeless. It's almost like someone came back from the future and laid down the chords to follow from then on. This song symbolizes how they were made to use suits when they probably would have been much more comfortable in tee-shirts and jeans. We gotta get outta this place, oh yeah they broke the mold.
Nobody but Burdon can sing "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, if it's the last thing we ever do!" better.
I love the Brits. If I was around back then, I would be screaming right there with them.
I love there music too bad no singers like this today!! thanks
i am from canada and was not even born during the veitnam conflct but strongly belive you vets got a shit deal coming home from their the stuff you guys went through must have been amazing and to come thru it alive makes you appreciate life nothing but respect take care brother...
My Music Bucket List came late in life. Saw Erik no Animals, Paul No Beatles, Stones no Brian Jones. I always missed a part of the puzzle. Only regret haven't seen Zombies, Moody Blues and Journey but with Steve Perry my favorite singer!
I was born in ‘90 but swear my soul is from the 60’s. Can’t get enough of the music from that decade.
This is truly great vid of the Animals -- especially bit showing Chas Chandler's fingers moving on fretboard. Sounds like this might have been live recording--Eric Burdon and the band seem to be giving it something extra.
I was a teenager and had a happy childhood yet when I first heard this song my life changed
On this day in 1965 {December 4th} the Animals performed "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'*...
Earlier in 1965 on Sept. 19th it peaked at #13...
At the time of this 'Shindig!' appearance the Animals’ "It's My Life" was at #36 on the Top 100; twenty-two days later on December 26th it peaked at #23 for one week...
R.I.P. Jimmy O'Neill {Shindig's host, 1940 - 2013}...
* The show was taped in England and all the acts were British...
I work on a cruise ship and I sing this song EVERY TIME I leave off the ship on my 3 hour breaks! Great song!
Such an amazing vocalist/band.
Spent a year in Viet Nam 1967-68 as an infantryman with the 25th and if there was a national anthem for my tour of duty this was it. Glad I survived it. I was 19 yrs old. Sad for over 50,000 that did not make it
An amazing voice!
What a voice! And the music supports it solidly.
I would love to see a movieabout these guys
David Grant there is an hour long documentary made about them several years ago on utube. Very good.
I taught architecture in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for 10 bloody years, and one of the few things that sustained me throughout of this time was this song.
The coronavirus song, after 6 weeks of climbing the walls.
Thank You Animals for Your Griff Hard Blues Bashing Music...and Thank You So Much Chas Chandler ...I tried so hard to meet you several times but it never happened...Thank you for helping Hendrix out ,I think that maybe took 15 years off your life...Thank you for putting the"Experience" together and getting Clapton and Jimmi together for a very short 15 minutes...Chas Chandler a Great Bass player of the 1960's..One of the Great forgotten Band members marching through my mind...Rest in Peace.
Eric Burdon has a very deep voice for his size.
Eric is the greatest one.
I never heard in my life such a voice.
Ciao, amore mio.
What a heart throb
Was his voice fucking good. When i was In Nam in 1968-70 Eric Burton was with me every step of the way. I listened to this tape for several years till it finally broke and fuck man I can't find another one. I think this song was made when I was a senpior in High school. So much for this man, he helped me get through three tours in country. God bless this video and man. Cleartwater.
Excelente nao me canso de ouvir ...The Doors lembra muito essa banda Eric Burdon e demais
Whaaaattttt
One of the greatest bass lines ever. What a fantastic song!
The best white blues singer there ever was!
+John Norman I always say, He had no business being a white boy.
not really blues more soul rock. I think canned heat was the best white blues
John Norman would you really consider it blues though? To me, this was the beginning, and helped pave the way of hard rock.
Most of the critics say that.....but they were Brits! A lot of their stuff came out of that era so I assume that's why he got the tag. He was just a kid when he made all of those records and he was brilliant.
John Norman I cant believe they didn't stick together longer. They could've been just as big(if not bigger) than the Stones.
The British Invasion was full of cute pop acts, some bizarre, some bubble gum, some rock & roll, and then there were the Animals...raunchy blues & soul...awesome stuff!
When I see my son in Basildon Essex I always hum this tune as the train pulls in
When first married my wife and I had just moved to a small town in Eastern Ontario. We always sang this. 30+ years later we're still here .
:(
No frills, no theatrics, no stupid show offs... man we used to be real.
Outstanding. Reminds me of fond memories when my Mom was driving. All oldies all the time (circa mid 80s). Always had a soft spot for 50s/60s tunes. There's an underlying menace in Burdon's vocals.
Great group.Great track
They were the first band I ever saw in concert. Hermit Hermitts was opening act. I remember wearing my cobalt blue granny glasses. Later in life I would come to meet & ride with Eric on the Famous "Love Ride" from Glendale, CA. While waiting for the Love Ride to start, we were standing around talking. I had to tell him he was the 1st band I was to see in concert. He just laughed & said your making me feel old kid. That year of the Love Ride I think I might have won the egg toss.
I'm only 33 and to this day I think this is one of the best songs of the 60s I thought the guy who sang this was a black American lol
Eric Burdon just had a voice so good, he was highly inspired by black blues and R&B singers, so the resemblance is there.
Yeah heard blues and r_&_b were real huge a britain at 1 time
Agree! I would never expect that big, booming voice to come out of him. Eric is such a little guy, and he looks so young! I'm not sure how old he was when he was the lead singer for the Animals.
He is great! Saw them in 1962. Brilliant.
Awwww, sounds Good. Still !
I sung this with Eric at the Michigan State Fair in Aug of 2001. Live show sure is different from 'studio' versions. We rocked!
Not written for it, but Vietnam became the implicit 'place' and cover bands all over US installations and boom boxes in the billets and bars in Saigon all blared out versions of this number.
So true I was there
That was our high school theme song for the seniors that year. That was awesome.
Lucky
I have always loved Eric. So edgy, so bad boy
you know what else is edgy? a cube

Damn... the memories... the voice... thanks, a teen during the 60's.
eric burdon is finnne
Just bought my ticket to see them in Feb !! A blast from the past.
Same theme song for submariners in the 70's & 80's...
Oneof the best groups of my childhood
Better life for me and you let's let it rip let's get the hell out of this place
Stay here make it better smile
I love the Animals going all way back to the 60's when they first hit the airwaves. They rock and one of my favorites from that era.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out. My favorite parrot had come down with rabies and I was in the backyard dispatching him humanely with a rake and a wet towel. It was a cool spring day, meaning it was the day of the year our town went out to the cool spring in the mountains and roasted goats. A transistor radio was blasting out this song and I remember thinking to myself, "Should I bury the parrot or just throw him in the trash?".
True story...
TWAT!!!!!
WHERE???
Don't know just love the word twat.
Not really... Too short and too many hard letters. Like spitting... I'll stick with vagina, thank you very much...
roasted goats?
So ahead of his Time !
we get it u vape

I absolutely agree that there is more to be lost by blocking anything that goes back 30 years or more. After all most of these videos aren't available at any price but they are a part of history. A real aficionado like me is either going to seek out an original vinyl (used goods), and or buy the digitally remastered music for list price. And what's up with "not available on mobile? " I don't get it!
Hell yes!, Eric Burdon & Paul McCartney going strong and still rocking!
Chas Chandler, RIP
2020 and I've just discovered how good the Animals were
The shorter you got the louder you sang. 67 - 68 Viet Nam
Vet
Right on! Vietnam Veteran 1969
In 2018 this song still holds up. Eric so wanted to bust loose on this. Amazing
The Animals had some good songs, but, to me, their best is House of the Rising Sun.
What about Sky Pilot?
That was my favorite song when I was a kid. Most people I knew thought it was a song about a whorehouse, but that's not what Eric would tell you if you asked him.
served in Nam 67-68....our theme song. Every time I here the song brings back memories..Camp Evans
