  • All the other UA-cam files are for individual songs, or in separate parts, so I thought I would share the whole performance.
    Apologies if this offends anyone or any organisation, but the show's no longer commercially available (...Dave Clark, why?) and is so good it just needs to be seen!

    WOW. At the 19:00 mark, Eric Burdon is looking at Otis and thinking "bloody hell, Im singing with Otis Redding" Brian Jones once said after seeing Otis live, "the Stones are a great live band, but you couldn't pay me a million dollars to follow Otis on stage" My fave singer ever. He's gives it his all, he's passionate and he's honest. No B/S. Aspiring singers, take note of said qualities.

      I love the Animals, but I am positive that even Eric Burdon would say that Otis was the superior artist. It’s not even close. That has nothing to do with being a purist or not. Health and happiness

      Without Eric Burdon Otis wouldn't havw got the gig. Eric was an established star on the show and Vicki Wickham- who booked the talent for RSG - said Eric had been persuading her over and over to get Otis on. (He wasn't really mainstream at all at that point in the UK.) Eventually she caved and this is the result.

    Outside of James Brown and The Famous Flames, Otis led the most exciting band to
    grace a stage in the mid-60s. The Stax house band of Booker T and The MGs were
    utterly unstoppable during this period.
    With Al Jackson on drums and Donald Dunn on bass, this was one of the greatest rhythm sections ever recorded. Anybody who saw Otis live in London in 1966 have all
    said it was a life-changing experience. After nearly fifty years, it is easy to see why.

      I woke up to a radio alarm every AM ~ the station (WNJR Newark, NJ) was playing one Otis tune after another, and I knew something happened to him. Of course the DJ later announced about the plane crash and Barkay members dying along with Otis.
      However, I do not remember how I felt. Shocked probably, and maybe sad.

      Aretha Franklin also recorded a decent version of Mick Jagger's and Keith Richard's "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
      Of course I agree with you there should be no issue with Otis Redding or any African-American singer covering The Rolling Stones or any other tune composed by a Caucasian artist, since the Caucasian acts (The Animals, The Beatles, Pat Boone, Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Them, The Pretty Things, The Yardbirds, etc.) had been covering tunes (and scoring huge hits) composed by African-American rhythm and blues artists (such as Chuck Berry, Solomon Burke, Willie Dixon, "Little" Richard Penniman, Muddy Waters, etc.) for years by then anyway.
      It is actually a tribute to Jagger & Richards Aretha and Otis appreciated "Satisfaction" enough to cover and record the song, that the tune had sufficient groove factor (which it most certainly did).
      Aretha and Otis having covered "Satisfaction" didn't exactly surprise me, since The Stones were derivative of r&b and soul anyway, as were many of the Britbeat acts who shared a passion for American rhythm and blues. But I must admit I was a bit floored the first time I heard Aretha's version of "96 Tears" by ? & the Mysterians. Still, the Mysterians hailed from Saginaw, Michigan. And Detroit soul visiting (by way of Muscle Shoals, Alabama) some garage (rock) just down the street made perfect sense, when one thought about it. Plus one of the principal anthems of garage rock, "Louie Louie," had been appropriated by Paul Revere & The Raiders and The Kingsmen from an African-American singer (Richard Berry) anyway. The Kingsmen's cover of "Louie Louie" scored the bigger hit (and provoked much controversy as regards its muddled lyrics/vocals), although The Raiders claim to have recorded their version first.

      Eric Burdon from The Animals

    • @lechatel
      @lechatel Рік тому

      Eric Burdon. He ALWAYS sounds phenomenal. Whether singing soul, blues, rock or jazz. He's in the rock and roll hall of fame.
      A resumé: Toured with Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee in '63.
      He's the frontman who sang the iconic 'House of the Rising Sun'.(recorded in one take) Number 1 all over the globe. It inspired Bob Dylan to go electric. Little Richard rated The Animals the best band he'd heard. Their 'We Gotta get out of this place' became the anthem of the troops in Vietnam. It also was the inspiration, according to Bruce himself, of ALL Springsteen's songs including Born to Run etc He co-wrote 'Inside looking out' which became massive for Grand Funk Railroad. He started the band War. Eric was a great friend of Otis and was also at Monterey with him. Made welcome at the Apollo in Harlem in '64 (despite it only being a month since Malcolm X) and friends with all the great black R&B stars. (The Animals were massive at the time and he went there to avoid being mobbed by fans.) He was a friend of Lennon who immortalised him in song as The Eggman due to his legendary womanising. He was the man chosen by Paul to sing at Linda McCartney's memorial service. He was the last man on stage with his close friend Hendrix -Eric's bandmate discovered Jimi- and the first man told about his death. He was the only man who could deal with a drunk Jim Morrison and ended up firing a Magnum over Jim's head to get rid of him. He rode motorbikes in the desert with his close friend Steve McQueen. There is NOBODY on the scene in the 60's that Eric Burdon didn't know. By some miracle he is still alive, and singing, at 82. He's about as cool as it is possible to be.

      Yes. I found the UK Folks much more respectful and knowledgable of Black Music than the US. They were more open and not conservative. Did you know that George Harrison (RIP) of The Beatles was so blown away by Otis's Version of Satisfaction that he sent him a Telegram and it said "Otis You Have Our Respect" The Beatles. The Bar-Kays survived The Crash, and became successful in Funk. Their Song Boogie Bodyland was mistaken for Cameo. Sam Cooke was the man you listened to when you were in love and happy, Otis was the man who cheered you up when you broke up with someone or they broke up with you.
