As someone who was at school in 1964, I can promise you that even this hair was slightly longer than the cut approved by authority. The lead singer clearly has hair hanging down in front of his ears, and they are not showing enough forehead. "Get that trimmed, boy!"
That's why it's called "Classic Rock".The bassist, after he left the band brought an unknown Jimi Hendrix back to England with him and the rest is history.
"Well I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. I'm goin' back to New Awleeuns to wear that ball and chain." Tells the whole, sad story.
Eric Burdon, the singer, had what I believe the military call the 1000 yard stare. A soldier could get it from having seen too much and having gone through too much. That's why you thought he was looking through your soul.
Brandy Singer for The Animals is Eric Burdon, then 23 years old boyish young man with deep soulful voice from UK. Besides singing for The Animals, he sang for Funk band called War. At 83 years old, Eric continues to perform today.
@@MrTech226 Alan Price, the Organist for The Animals had to drop out of the Group due to his fear of flying. I don’t believe he was ever replaced. soon after, lead singer Eric Burden assumed leadership of the group now known as Eric Burden and The Animals. Eric was very impressed with the vast array of new talent that became household names after appearing at the Monterey Pop festival in 1965, organized by The Mamas & The Papas. Big Brother & The Holding Company, with Janis Joplin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Buffalo Springfield & Otis Redding, all made their first major live performances in Monterey. This clip of the Animals is an excerpt from a British theatrical release titled “Top Gear” which consisted of young British Invasion era lip-synched performances. This was at a time when most of the videos were recorded in black & white. I saw it once on American TV during the 1970’s, but have never seen it since. The gimmick of having Eric walk around the set followed by the lead guitarist and bassist betrays very quickly the fact that those instruments weren’t connected to any type of amplifiers, so they would not be heard by the audience. In most TV programs of the time, the band performances were lip-synced, but were not as obvious because the bands were set up to look like a normal performance. Most band members tried to look serious during these performances, but were often seen giggling during their performances.
I'm 70 so I remember them well. At school there was a kid named Schubert who used to bring his guitar and play "The House of the Rising Sun" during recess.
Another great Rock n Roll Hall of Fame group from the late 60s is the Rascals. Two great singers. Felix Cavalierie , Eddy Brigatti. Many very good songs. Groovin, Good Lovin, A Beautiful Morning, How can i be Sure and more. My condolences regarding yr stepdad..
Grew up in the 60's and have loved this version of this song ever since! Later in the 60's Frigid Pink did a version with the late 60's vibe, loved that one too!
Young Lady, in the 60's and 70's groups and individual artists were moving away from the conventional sounds and experimenting with the new electronic instruments and recording methods. Everyone wanted their own sound and look. The looks really didn't vary that much because most followed the latest fashions, but the sounds being produced were another story. The electric guitar was becoming more than simply a guitar with sound amplification, artists were learning to make all kinds of sounds and riffs with their new toy. Plus in this song you hear the electric keyboard, another instrument that became a major part of the era. Then you have to pay attention to the lyrics, a lot of the writers and singers were heavily influenced by philosophy, poetry and folk music. In other words, they had a story they wanted to tell whether it was their own or simply a lesson they were trying to convey.
Eric had just turned 23 when they recorded this, one week before after his birthday in 1964. It was released in the following month. He's the same age in this video, which is also from 1964.
FUN FACT: No one knows who wrote “House of the Rising Sun”. Because Eric Burdon and the Animals had such a massive hit with their recording of this song back in 1964, most people assume Eric Burdon wrote it. Fact is, no one knows who wrote it. Musicologists have tried to track down its origins but it's so old that its origins are lost in the murky mists of time. It may even go back all the way to 17th century England in a form that became known as "Broadside Ballads." If it did originate in England then it probably came to America via some ocean-going traveler who may have sung it here in the U.S. and then others picked it up and it slowly got passed around. Also, if it did originate in England, then someone had to have changed the location of the brothel from its location in England to New Orleans, probably to make the song more relevant to American audiences. That is all speculation, obviously, since no one knows for sure what the original lyrics were in that particular verse. Another interesting thing about the song is that in some versions it's about a man lamenting his experience in the brothel while in other versions it's a woman telling of her trials and tribulations at the brothel. I first heard it by folk singer, Joan Baez, a year or two before the Animals' released their version. In the Animals version the narrator is a man. In the Baez version the narrator is a woman. There is also a version of the song by the legendary folk singer, Huddie (Leadbelly) Leadbetter, that is so different (both melodically and lyrically) that it's barely recognizable as the same song. Another early rendition of the song was by Bob Dylan about 3 years before the Animals released their hit version. The oft-told story about Dylan "stealing" the song from folk/blues singer, Dave Van Ronk, is sort of true but also sort of not true. The "sort of true" part is that Dylan did first hear the song being performed by Van Ronk who wanted to record it. But Dylan included it on his own debut album (released in 1962) before Van Ronk got a chance to record it. The "sort of not true" part is that no one "owns" that song so you can't "steal" something that is not owned by anyone. And, as far as I'm aware, no one really knows where Van Ronk heard the song in the first place. Back in the '60s, a plethora of folk singers were all hanging around in coffee houses in New York's East Village where traditional folk songs were passed around and performed by anyone who wanted to sing them. People didn't have cell phones back then so there was no way to record a song on the spot. So, if some traveling folk-singer happened to hear a song somewhere and then moved on to another town and sang the song for another audience, the singer might not remember exactly how the lyrics went and would just make up new lyrics to fill in for the lyrics that he/she couldn't remember. This happened for decades (even hundreds of years in some cases) and that's why there are so many versions of old folk songs. Musicologists sometimes refer to this borrowing, changing, and adapting of a song as "the folk process".
I loved the Animals, Eric Burdon was one of the great front men ever, he was looked up to by the great singers of the day. They have a sound all their own and were part of the British Invasion of 1964. For more, try We Gotta Get Out of This Place, another banger from a band with a bunch of them. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥
Also, their bass player, Chas Chandler, discovered Jimi Hendrix and helped him put the Jimi Hendrix Experience together in London, they exploded on the scene in 1967. Do Are You Experienced and listen in wonder....
Great group , A classic This was in the early 60's when group had suits and they starting change by the end of the sixties. I remember when I first heard it in my car. I instantly love it. , Try listening , ( We Gotta get out of this place).
Brandy, the singer - Eric Burdon - was around the same age as you at the time. Loved your reaction. Keep going with the older stuff. The music from that era - 1960's into the early ''70's in particular - is light years ahead of what's around now. And it was 60 years ago. Not 80.
Just discovered your channel. Subscribed. Went back 7 years through your YT catalog and didn't see a reaction to a band called "Grai". You mentioned your heritage is East European and Grai combines Russian folk music with heavy metal. Don't know if you're familiar with them but their song "In The Arms of Mara" might make a good reaction video. Best of luck.
Long hair on males in rock music really didn't become a thing until the late 60's, around 67-69, aka the psychedelic rock era. And in my opinion, the best of that era was Iron Butterfly with In-A-Godda-Da-Vida.
Just an amazing song, its from my childhood. I think I read Eric Burdon (lead) married his intellectual property lawyer who represented him, they've been living for some time in Southern California.
The vocalist Eric Burdon was 22 years old in this performance, the Animals from Newcastle Uk 🇬🇧 absolutely phenomenal blues and rock band, Eric Burdon is 83 years old and still playing gigs, Check out the Animals with a song written by Bob Dylan called, ( ITS All OVER NOW BABY BLUE) a phenomenal song and the best version of the song ever, great reaction thanks 🙏
Tiny nitpick. Eric Burdon was born on 11th May 1941, and the song was recorded on 18th May 1964, so 23yo. This performance is mimed, so I AssUMe after the 18th May 1964. Best Wishes. ☮
Iconic song, singer, group!! Time doesn't taint great songs. Their in the Rock and Roll of Fame and truly deserve it. Many very good songs. Dont let me Be Misunderstood, Its my Life, We gotta get out of this Place, Sky Pilot and more. Best of success with yr channel.
The song was first mentioned in the “Louisiana Gazette” in New Orleans in 1821, where an advertisement appeared for the Rising Sun Hotel. The House of the Rising Sun is considered by many to resemble “The Unfortunate Rake”, which is a folk song from the 16th century.The only member of the band to get Royalties for this song was Alan Price The Animals Keyboardist and band manager.The rest of the band not happy.I hope they got it sorted out.Cheers and all the best from England.
In itself the song is lost in time when its true origins are. The clearest thing is that there was a brothel called Rising Sun back in the 1800s, and that there are many versions of it, the most appropriate one is that it seems to be from a woman's perspective.
these are the bands i grew up with - i was 11 when this came out - this was about the longest hair anyone wore in that time. hell man - the beatles hair went SLIGHTLY over their ears and you should have heard the parents scream " look at that long hair " ! - they thought that these band were rebels or something evil. jeezus they all wore suits ! then a couple of years later guys had hair halfway down their back and you should have heard my mother then. i put her in her place though - she was a WASP and i asked her " what about jesus' hair mom ? it's the same as these guys. needless to say she had no answer and stormed out of the room. ha ha
I saw that you reacted to some Pentatonix a while back. You might like to check out an acapella group called Home Free. Perhaps their version of "Man of Constant Sorrow ".
I remember this like it was yesterday, my generation waited so long for something that wasn't, Sinatra, and such like after this, I think, came the Beatles!!! The organist became a successful solo artist, also in those days there were few guitarists around...essentially, if the owned a guitar they were in the band...this was why throughout the 60's & 70's guitarists were never long in a band before the were replaced from the early 70's things settled with led zep, Sabbath & Purple.
House of the rising Sun is one of my favorite songs and has been since I first heard it a 1/2 century ago but I don't really know why. The animals is one of my favorite groups too. I think they would have been more popular except lots of people do not like the organ.
One of very few bands that used a keyboard player back then, and he was seriously good! The Beatles started the long hair and everyone else followed.Parents and authorities hated it, it was major threat that the were corrupting youth, and even blamed it on a communist plot. the gray suits are very similar to what the Beatles wore...
Also of course Dylan recorded it before this. Some scholarly research has suggested the song can be traced back to England and crossed the Atlantic and underwent several mutations. Whatever. I can remember the electrifying effect it had on the 10 year old me when it came out. Stupidly I sold my original single many years ago for a pittance. The folly of youth
hello..new sub here. You caught "Eric Burdon",the singer, and "The Animals" at their earliest workings. This song was banned from radio in many places b/c of it's immoral references. My how times have changed. Their later works you will find the long hair,beards,etc. Thanks for the video.
The amazing Hailey Reinhart did a cover of this during her American Idol run. ua-cam.com/video/a6dxNsWMb_E/v-deo.html For a fall down the rabbit hole, check out the work she did with Postmodern Jukebox.
Brandy, I think this song was passed down from your Grandmother to your Mother to you. What I mean is your mom heard your grandma listening to it as you heard your mother listen to it. Does that make any sense....lol
Uhhh .. by 1970 I was in Vietnam. I did not have long hair .. honestly do no remember any long hair males in High School. We were not aliens .. we dressed differently, had different hair styles .. you know . like .. people? We had geeks (me), Jocks, girls that were lacking morals, girls that were Christian, we had fat kids, skinny kids, white, black, brown, and polka dotted. You know ... people .. not clones.
As someone who was at school in 1964, I can promise you that even this hair was slightly longer than the cut approved by authority. The lead singer clearly has hair hanging down in front of his ears, and they are not showing enough forehead. "Get that trimmed, boy!"
Off the collar and it better not touch your ears.
That's why it's called "Classic Rock".The bassist, after he left the band brought an unknown Jimi Hendrix back to England with him and the rest is history.
Not many people realise that they are an English band (from Newcastle). The lead singer, Eric, is still going. I think he’s 83 years old now.
And yeah he had a bit of a baby face with a surprisingly strong voice 😂
Good old geordies.
he still has that Geordie accent too!
widescreen and color when tvs were small screen and black and white. love this. its lip-sync they are not connected to anything and still love this
"Well I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train. I'm goin' back to New Awleeuns to wear that ball and chain." Tells the whole, sad story.
“Spill the Wine”. Same lead singer different band “War” great song.
Awesome throw back song
Eric Burdon, the singer, had what I believe the military call the 1000 yard stare. A soldier could get it from having seen too much and having gone through too much. That's why you thought he was looking through your soul.

Geordie Land's finest, that's Alan Price on the keyboards.
and he was going IN too!
I haven't listened or watched the music video for a long time still a classic though.
The 60's were full of great songs you should react to. Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, ect. with Yes, Led Zepplin all started in the 60's.
All INCREDIBLE bands as well!

that was a miss speak thing that i didnt notice until after i put the video up!
@SlayWithBrandy yeah, I kinda thought it was when I saw you had 60 years on the main page. Sorry about that Brandy. I didn't notice. 😊😊
Eric sang it "Balls to the wall" without effort-at 23-someone's gotta react to-the Animals-I'm Crying" a kick ass rocker from 1964

I believe Eric Burden was 16 years old when this was recorded. Hes in his 80s now and still killing it.

The base Guitarist ( Chas chandler) discovered Jmmy Hendriks and as they sayTthe Rest is History..
I was in the Army when this song came out
Brandy
Original members of The Animals were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 1994.
The year i was born! What a great year!

This song came out in '64/'65.
It's an old American song about a bordello.
Helpfully, the title of the video is clear and unambiguous. It was 1964.
Best Wishes. ☮
Try a song called "Venus"by Shocking Blue, you will enjoy, thanks 😎🏹
Let there be music.😊
Check out buffalo Springsteen song For what it's worth, that song can still be applied to today's world
I think Eric Burden (the singer) was 23 when he did this.
I saw that you reacted to some Pentatonix a while back. You might like to check out an acapella group called Home Free. Perhaps their version of "Man of Constant Sorrow ".
I came here just for Brandy

i found it so unique!
I'd love to see your reaction video on how Eric Burdons look changed after this song.
ill have to look that up for sure!
thx...this time a horror song parents when hearing this song hehe
Eric Burdon was bad ass.
100000%
Go react Jackie Wilson - to be loved live at the sullivan show ❤❤❤ great reaction
One of very few bands that used a keyboard player back then, and he was seriously good! The Beatles started the long hair and everyone else followed.Parents and authorities hated it, it was major threat that the were corrupting youth, and even blamed it on a communist plot. the gray suits are very similar to what the Beatles wore...
oh for sure!
I believe this is an old, old blues song, and I think Leadbelly recorded it much earlier. Maybe my memory fails
Also of course Dylan recorded it before this. Some scholarly research has suggested the song can be traced back to England and crossed the Atlantic and underwent several mutations. Whatever. I can remember the electrifying effect it had on the 10 year old me when it came out. Stupidly I sold my original single many years ago for a pittance. The folly of youth
hello..new sub here. You caught "Eric Burdon",the singer, and "The Animals" at their earliest workings. This song was banned from radio in many places b/c of it's immoral references. My how times have changed. Their later works you will find the long hair,beards,etc. Thanks for the video.
Oh i never knew that! Thank you for the information!
Eric Burdon is still performing Live. Age 83
I love that!!
Just a suggestion you might like the song Mississippi Queen by Mountain.
If you liked the original version check out the cover by Frijid Pink, from 1970 it`s really good, I like it better than the original version.
I think he's around 21 when this was recorded. He's still going.
They recorded this song in one take.
The amazing Hailey Reinhart did a cover of this during her American Idol run.
ua-cam.com/video/a6dxNsWMb_E/v-deo.html
For a fall down the rabbit hole, check out the work she did with Postmodern Jukebox.
Yeah! Hailey has only bangers with PMJ! She has also collabbed with others and she always hits it out of the park.
Just watched based on your recommendation. Very good 👌👍
i knew it: "look at their hair"
In 1964 this was beginning of the English invasion and long hair.
If you enjoyed the animals you should listen to the stranlers
In 1964 long hair had not yet caught on everywhere.
ahh that makes sense!
Check out "We've Got To Get Out Of This Place "!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Burdon would have been 25 years old in this video.
react to marcelito pomoy the prayer'' ALL I ASK OF YOU will blow you away
Take care babe , youre playing whith the devil
Brandy, I think this song was passed down from your Grandmother to your Mother to you. What I mean is your mom heard your grandma listening to it as you heard your mother listen to it. Does that make any sense....lol
My mom was born in the 60s so yes, she listened to this on her own.
Uhhh .. by 1970 I was in Vietnam. I did not have long hair .. honestly do no remember any long hair males in High School. We were not aliens .. we dressed differently, had different hair styles .. you know . like .. people? We had geeks (me), Jocks, girls that were lacking morals, girls that were Christian, we had fat kids, skinny kids, white, black, brown, and polka dotted. You know ... people .. not clones.
Message for your cat: Blink twice if you are being held against your will...

he WAS about your age.lol

The Goodones dont want to see this . Stop now !!!!
Great early hippy song
so good!
60 years on and so many Brits are still singing - weirdly- with American accents.
@@musik102 Americans talk with a British singing voice.
@@alundavies1016 That doesn't make any sense.
@@musik102 as much sense as your way round!
@@alundavies1016 What? Most of the iconic UK rock/pop singers have sung in an American accents...can't you hear that?
@@musik102 try flipping it round, Americans talk like Brits singing, rather than Brits singing like Americans talk.
I'm not a big fan of 60's rock. The only artists songs I like from that time period is Elvis Presley & The Doors.
The Detroit band Frigid Pink has a lot better version of this song.
