The band originate from Newcastle, my hometown. The Keyboard player Alan Price was good friends with my dad, unfortunately my dad took his own life when i was a kid in 1986, the band attended his funeral. I was only 14 at the time but i remember them quite vividly.
Unfortunately old pricey claimed and got all the royalties for the arrangement even though Hilton Valentine created the riff, took all the royalties and legged it.
Alan Price was from my neck of the woods, Washington. Althought I was born in Sunderland I moved to Washington when I was 2 and before Washington became part of Sunderland. We also share the 19 April as a birthday
The lead singer, Eric Burden was 23 when he sang this. The guy on Bass, Chas Chandler, became a talent scout, and he discovered Jimi Hendrix. Interestingly, though they are a British Band, from Newcastle on Tyne, this is their biggest hit, and its a US folk song.
I cannot agree more that music was far better up to 2000, give or take. These were true musicians and singers. I was born in 1951 so got to hear these bands as they appeared. The night clubs I went to were so special and enjoyable. in the UK. The dress is for that period. This was the time of The Beatles.
The suits were a look adopted by British bands in the early 60s, notably visible with The Beatles and the other British bands that appeared in the USA. This was to help position them as 'respectable' so they could appear on prime time TV shows to promote their music (as many new rock/pop bands at the time were not seen as reputable and good examples to teenagers at home watching TV).
Yep, for the most part we now live in a world of commercialised, bland and repetitive music sold by over sexualised images and lyrics and not genuine musical and vocal talent!
On topic, the indie/rock magazine N.M.E in the 00's had an editor who said he only wanted bands with good shoes, clothes and hair, no matter how good the music. So, it's not just the pop, rap and R&B genres that were overly curated. If you enjoy real music, the channel Wings of Pegasus will infuriate you, as Fil uncovers the amount of mining and auto tuning in the current industry. Recently Freddie Mercury was tampered with even!
I was 14 ,a gang of us in leather coats and frayed bell bottom jeans ,sitting on village green in uk with a batterd transistor radio blasting out this,just waiting for the start of the swinging 60s to happen ,,,and boy did it happen 🌺
Apparently, this song shocked Dylan when he first heard it. He'd recorded a standard acoustic version on his first album, but never imagined that it could be rocked up. "When Bob Dylan first heard the Animals' version of “House of the rising sun” on his car radio, he stopped to listen, jumped out of his car and banged on the bonnet. It later became one of the reasons why he went electric."
I love TheAnimals, and Eric Burden’s voice. Please check out “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and I have to pause because your baby is adorable!
I never look at this vid the same after finding out the guitarist was laughing as Alan Price and his keyboard were being moved as he played, to set up the final shot 😂
You’ve recognized the inherent and inescapable creepiness that draws you in and ultimately bonds with your DNA. The 5000th time you hear it, will still have the same impact.
My mum saw the Animals in London back in the 60's They were her favourite band of the 60's. I grew up listening to the Animals. Trivia from a stranger.
At the time, I remember, the BBC refused to play this on "Top of the Pops", simply because it was too long, more than the usual three minutes. Then it went to No1, and the song in that position was always played just before the close of the programme. So they gave way, and dealt with the length by the innovation of running the closing credits through the end of it.
The original was by Clarence Ashby in 1933, originally called rising sun blues. many other artists have covered it, leadbelly, woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan to name but a few
England is an island like no other and what better gift to give a child than than a trip to Lancashire. This is the 80th year since Newton and Ridley began supplying the Rovers Return and launched Weatherfield and Lancashire to world stardom with an almost endless list of adorable characters. See the place you've heard about all your lives by visiting Lancashire England. We English are not perfect, but we are the best.
A stone cold Classic! Chass Chandler the bass player brought Ji Jimi Hendrix back to England and was hi his manager initially, Eric Burdon the singer has an amazing iconic voice , he was one of Jimis last friends to see him the night he died! You guys should check out Eric's vocals with the fantastic 70s LA band 'War' , some excep exceptional music 🎶 !!...
Thanks for this guys. Took me back to my teenage years. Wasn’t unusual then to see groups in suits, including the Beatles. They each went on with individual careers after the Animals broke up, not least Alan Price, on keyboard.
Miners in the US were singing this song as early as 1905, but the actual songwriter and date will likely never be known. It's pretty much a traditional song, it's origins being so far back and so sketchy. I prefer versions that sing the song from a woman's point of view ("and it's been the ruin of many a poor girl") rather than from a man's, as it make more sense being that the House of the Rising Sun refers to a brothel. I love Bob Dylan's eariler version, but i do enjoy Eric Burden's powerful voice as well.
I am 78 and this has brought back many happy memories. As @subwaygoddess1 says "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” are certainly worth an airing. 😀Love your daughter.
the guitar player at the back use to manage the famous guitar player of all time back then , Hendrix is his name and the lead singer lives in California i believe .the organ player hated flying
Hundreds of years old English folk song, the lyrics have evolved many different versions over the years. One version is sung by a woman about not making mistakes and ending up working in a brothel. Fast forward to the 60s and Dylan records an acoustic version. The Animals take the Dylan version and electrify it. Allegedly Dylan hears their electric version and decides he has to go the same way. Cue Like A Rolling Stone and the rest is history. Epic. Legendary.
A great song that I really liked. However, it jumped to number 1 in the charts in its first week. Before that few people had heard of the Animals. Always reckoned to be a fiddle that it got to number one. In those days the charts were based on sales in a limited number of record shops. If you knew the list of shops involved you could arrange for a particular record to be purchased multiple times in these shops and thus get into the charts. Possibly what happened with the House of the Rising Sun!
I have the original album on vinyl that belonged to my father and this is the first song I learned to play on guitar. Thanks for sharing. Some great memories.🎸
I know what you mean by each song starting in a unique way. I grew up with the music of the 60's and 70's. I'm now in my 70's and listen to a radio station that plays music from that era, and as soon as I hear the first few notes of a song I still INSTANTLY know what it is that's about to play. You're right - they don't make music like this anymore. Most bands in the 60's wore suits and had names like Animals, Beatles, Monkeys, Crickets etc. The 60's lead the music and sexual revolution. By half way through the 70's the world had definately changed.
Hi Mike and Jess , " We gotta get out of this place " springs to mind . In 1965 i was 20 and myself and two mates were at a holiday camp on vacation , we used to roll back to our chalet at night in a drunken state singing this . The '60s were the greatest period for great music 🇬🇧
@ yes very serious. Like many folk songs, "The House of the Rising Sun" is of uncertain authorship. Musicologists say that it is based on the tradition of broadside ballads, and thematically it has some resemblance to the 16th-century ballad "The Unfortunate Rake". Alan Lomax suggested that the melody might be related to a 17th-century folk song, "Lord Barnard and Little Musgrave", also known as "Matty Groves". Lomax also noted that "Rising Sun" was the name of a bawdy house in two traditional English songs, and a name for English pubs, and proposed that the location of the house was then relocated from England to the US by White Southern performers. Meanwhile, folklorist Vance Randolph proposed an alternative French origin, the "rising sun" referring to the decorative use of the sunburst insignia dating to the time of Louis XIV, which was brought to North America by French immigrants. Songs evolve. Lyrics change over the centuries. Western music contains only 12 notes. We think every song is original but combining 12 notes is limiting the possibilities.
This was from a movie released in the UK in '64 as Go Go Big Beat and Go Go Mania here in the States. The Stones were the first to not wear matching suits.
This was the time of the Swinging 60's in the UK, particularly London. In the youth culture, there were 2 main groups, the Rockers (leather gear and motorcycles) and the "Mods" who preferred motor scooters and sharp dressing such as the suits you noticed. The Beatles were similar in their dress and clean-cut image. It was in fact a youth Revolution that brought the UK out of the post WW2 depression. What was a Grey World became Coloured. This was my youth.
Glad you all got around to this one. Styles may change, but talent is talent. This iconic song has and will continue to withstand the test of time. Loved your reactions!
My children were very well behaved. I only had to lock them in the dark basement with the rats and spiders a few times. A few hours in the pitch black with cobwebs and scuttling rats made them very quiet, very obedient, children. They were never a problem when they lived at home. It was only after they left home they became serial killers.
At that time, it was thought that bands should wear matching suits. However, the Animals did cause some outrage by virtue of their long hair. Little did we know what was to come!
Jess is 1000% right about music from this era being "special". My generation is proud to have been around at that time and a lot of the music is iconic. 60s 70s and 80s and a bit from the 90s is so recognisable from the first couple of notes. Some of the 2000s is there too but nowhere near the quality or number that there was earlier. When musicians, on the whole, went to a recording studio and spent a day or even a week getting the sound we have come to recognise. Now Singers and Bands can record in their bedrooms and play with the sound electronically. Progress? Who knows. Stay safe you two (THREE including the gorgeous young lady you introduced us to).
The band broke up 2 years after this in 66 and keyboard player Alan Price left in 65 to set up the Alan Price Set which was a good band as well,he then went on to play with Georgie Fame in 70 and they called themselves The Price Of Fame which was also good,you should check out those two bands as well
Jess was right about music. I was born in 72 and this stuff was on the radio when I was a nipper and it was the best time to be alive creativity wise. Me and my daughter (29) prefer john fogarty ( credence Clearwater revival) johnny cash or Roy Orbison. And we now have just got into travelling wilburries, Kenny Rogers, elo and boney m 🤣🤣 Good times 👌🏻
I was 13 and this happened local to me in Gateshead and Newcastle where I grew up. All were local lads and (drummer) John Steel's parents had a fish shop near me. The arrangement for this old classic was done by Alan Price on keyboards. He went on to have a great career but never seemed to seek the spotlight. A great talent. Eric Burden still lives in San Francisco I think. Nothing beats the music of the 60s and 70s.
The animals are from my home town in Newcastle north east England. The guy on bass us Chas Chandler who went on to manage Jimi Hemdrix. Great reaction guys
2:40 I'm absolutely with you. The music today is just cheap and most of the the songs today are cheap remakes of great songs from past or unimaginative crap.
The bass guitarest there is Chas Chandler, he is the one who discovered Jimi Hendrix. the guitarist is Hilton Valentine , his wife was a nurse who looked after me in hospital when i was a boy :), the keyboard player is Alan Price, we come from the same town of Jarrow in the north east of England :)
My 79 year mother used to date the guy who plays the organ when she was young leaving in Newcastle she turned down the lead singer as he was to full of himself 😮
First, thank you for letting this play without a lot of interruptions. I was 10 when this song was released (70 now). Looking at the stage I think this was the Ed Sullivan show broadcast. He hosted a Sunday night variety show in the U.S. You gave a great review, couldn't have done it any better.
Growing up in the 60's, being in a garage band was almost required. (best way to impress the girls) This song was very common in the playlists of these bands. I was in a few and actually took it to the next level for a while. That is a story for another day. BTW, this song is MUCH older than the 60's
Years ago, I worked in a car dealership, when one day a Porsche 911 was towed in with a blown clutch. The driver was the key board player, Alan Price. Never got chance to speak to him though !
Recorded in one take in a 30 min slot, Micky Most their manager didn't think it would be a hit because it was to long, hence the short studio time. Alan Price the organist had his name put down as the writer of this traditional song as there wasn't enough space to put all their names on the record. He subsequently received all the royalties which has been a heated hate with Eric Burben the singer to this day. When released in the US the organ section was cut out to shorten the record.
A couple of points. The band got a shock when on release of the record the credits stated traditional arranged by Alan Price keyboard player and the manager. This upset the rest of the band who got no royalties and had to keep playing the song forever. The bass player is Chas Chandler who brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK where he became the second best guitarist in the world.
Ooh, you've got a little Jess 😊 So sweet. I really wish my son was little again. All snuggly and innocent. Mine just had his 36th birthday and I love him to pieces but I can't believe how fast the time has gone. As always, another great reaction. I'm so glad I found your channel as you always make me happy ✌🇬🇧
Don't know why, but looking and listing to these guys always makes me feel like they have bin through it. Can't put my finger on it, its a vibe I get. This man has seen things. That is the vibe I get. Amazing music! Edit: You guys thought the same I hear. I was jumping the gun maybe. Still the feeling doesn't change, have a good day.
With some of the 60s and 70s music and songs, like the Tina Turner's 71' Soul To Soul i turn, as Björk said, "violently happy"; this is the real/true music for me.
The reason for the quality of this is that it was filmed on 35mm for a proposed cinema release of acts of 1964. The project was never realised and we are lucky that the film survived. Incidently you will never see the complete film as the introductions to each act was done by the late and infamous Jimmy Saville.
No it wasn't. He recorded a version, but there's earlier ones, and the origins go back a lot further, several hundred years. There's a whole Wikipedia page about it.
THis song was originally written in 1925 !! This version was a hit for the Animals ( A Nth.E. of England Group from the early sixties ) p.s. I'm with Jess on her opinion of real music ! The lead singer is Eric Burdon and the keyboard player is Alan Pryce who went on to have a bit of a solo career.
Alan Price on keyboards had some hits as a solo artist, and also some duets with yet another British icon called Georgie Fame (A real heartthrob back in the day) who in turn appeared regularly with the great Van 'The Man' Morrison - well worth checking out even if you don't react to them.
The pub across the road from my house is called The Rising Sun and if I had a pound for every time someone puts this on the jukebox, I’d be a very very rich man😂
The band originate from Newcastle, my hometown.
The Keyboard player Alan Price was good friends with my dad, unfortunately my dad took his own life when i was a kid in 1986, the band attended his funeral.
I was only 14 at the time but i remember them quite vividly.
Unfortunately old pricey claimed and got all the royalties for the arrangement even though Hilton Valentine created the riff, took all the royalties and legged it.
Ah, just along the river lol.
Alan Price was from my neck of the woods, Washington. Althought I was born in Sunderland I moved to Washington when I was 2 and before Washington became part of Sunderland. We also share the 19 April as a birthday
Sorry to read of your loss, even after all these years. I'd be surprised if most people from the US knew that this band were from the UK
As has often been said - Eric Burdon: looked 16, was 23, sounded 45! Such a mature, soulful voice!
The entire thing was recorded in one take! Professional.
no it wassnt , its synced
The lead singer, Eric Burden was 23 when he sang this. The guy on Bass, Chas Chandler, became a talent scout, and he discovered Jimi Hendrix. Interestingly, though they are a British Band, from Newcastle on Tyne, this is their biggest hit, and its a US folk song.
One take in the studio, no auto tune, pure talent
I cannot agree more that music was far better up to 2000, give or take. These were true musicians and singers. I was born in 1951 so got to hear these bands as they appeared.

Harps back to a time when talent and musicality were more important than whether they were pretty enough to appeal to audiences.
Yep, for the most part we now live in a world of commercialised, bland and repetitive music sold by over sexualised images and lyrics and not genuine musical and vocal talent!
*Harks back 😉

When the guitarist is smiling his head off, it's because the organist is being wheeled about 😂
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
I thought he moved!
I always wondered why are they smiling now.
I was 14 ,a gang of us in leather coats and frayed bell bottom jeans ,sitting on village green in uk with a batterd transistor radio blasting out this,just waiting for the start of the swinging 60s to happen ,,,and boy did it happen 🌺
Remembering listening to this as a teenager. Love the Animals. Great voice. Eric Burden is now 83 yrs of age and still sounds good
The bass player Chas Chandler later became Jimi Hendrix's Manager and brought him over to the UK.
Apparently, this song shocked Dylan when he first heard it. He'd recorded a standard acoustic version on his first album, but never imagined that it could be rocked up. "When Bob Dylan first heard the Animals' version of “House of the rising sun” on his car radio, he stopped to listen, jumped out of his car and banged on the bonnet.

Eric Burdon....classic....Alan price on keyboards......man o man
@alanprice8310
The highlight of this song is always the great Alan Price on the organ.
I love TheAnimals, and Eric Burden’s voice. Please check out “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” and I have to pause because your baby is adorable!
I never look at this vid the same after finding out the guitarist was laughing as Alan Price and his keyboard were being moved as he played, to set up the final shot 😂
Great song and best version of it. Love your channel keep up the good work.
You’ve recognized the inherent and inescapable creepiness that draws you in and ultimately bonds with your DNA. The 5000th time you hear it, will still have the same impact.
My mum saw the Animals in London back in the 60's They were her favourite band of the 60's. I grew up listening to the Animals. Trivia from a stranger.
The first song i learned to play on guitar.
2 great Burdon albums: Soul of a man & My secret life 👌👌👌

This was live in one take absolutely amazing 👍🏻🤩🏴
Peace love from England ❤
Classic British band.
The bass player Chas Chandler became Jimmy Hendrix manager
Your little girl is precious! That for the reaction, much appreciated.
England is an island like no other and what better gift to give a child than than a trip to Lancashire. This is the 80th year since Newton and Ridley began supplying the Rovers Return and launched Weatherfield and Lancashire to world stardom with an almost endless list of adorable characters. See the place you've heard about all your lives by visiting Lancashire England. We English are not perfect, but we are the best.
agree music back then is unmatched
A stone cold Classic!
Chass Chandler the bass player brought Ji Jimi Hendrix back to England and was hi his manager initially, Eric Burdon the singer has an amazing iconic voice , he was one of Jimis last friends to see him the night he died!
You guys should check out Eric's vocals with the fantastic 70s LA band 'War' , some excep exceptional music 🎶 !!...
This song can be sung to the tune of Amazing Grace and vice versa. It is occasionally sung in churches with the lyrics to Amazing Grace
You are correct, there is very little music nowadays.
Thanks for this guys. Took me back to my teenage years. Wasn’t unusual then to see groups in suits, including the Beatles. They each went on with individual careers after the Animals broke up, not least Alan Price, on keyboard.

A fantastic band from sixties England

the guitar player at the back use to manage the famous guitar player of all time back then , Hendrix is his name and the lead singer lives in California i believe .the organ player hated flying
Alan price on the organ He was one hell of a keyboard player.

No Autotune in the 60' 70's

This song dates back to at least the 1600s. The recording is 1960s.

Please check out their catalogue! It is amazing..my favorite group at that time in my life!
Its about a brothel called House of the rising sun. Its been the ruin of many a poor boy, and god he knows he's one
Glad you all got around to this one. Styles may change, but talent is talent. This iconic song has and will continue to withstand the test of time. Loved your reactions!
I was in hospital when i heard this on the radio in 1964 awesome
My children were very well behaved. I only had to lock them in the dark basement with the rats and spiders a few times.

Hi Mike and Jess yep that come from my city Newcastle upon Tyne ne England it's amazing that a good few bands and singers came from here ❤
This is the era where The Beatles and The Rolling Stones started too
My mum was one off there groupies when thay first started hence dating the organ player but she left Newcastle for london before thay got big❤
Jess is 1000% right about music from this era being "special".

The animals are from my home town in Newcastle north east England. The guy on bass us Chas Chandler who went on to manage Jimi Hemdrix. Great reaction guys
It kills me that all those foundational and iconic performance of the 60's classics didn't get the same visual treatment!
2:40 I'm absolutely with you. The music today is just cheap and most of the the songs today are cheap remakes of great songs from past or unimaginative crap.
The bass guitarest there is Chas Chandler, he is the one who discovered Jimi Hendrix. the guitarist is Hilton Valentine , his wife was a nurse who looked after me in hospital when i was a boy :), the keyboard player is Alan Price, we come from the same town of Jarrow in the north east of England :)
I grew up with this sort of music, my mum loved this track. I think you should look at Dusty Springfield Son of a Preacher Man
My 79 year mother used to date the guy who plays the organ when she was young leaving in Newcastle she turned down the lead singer as he was to full of himself 😮
First, thank you for letting this play without a lot of interruptions. I was 10 when this song was released (70 now). Looking at the stage I think this was the Ed Sullivan show broadcast. He hosted a Sunday night variety show in the U.S. You gave a great review, couldn't have done it any better.
Bloody superb.....I was eight years old when this came out..... wo!
I knew I had it !!. The original 45rpm vinyl single record of House of the rising sun by the animals. Yesssss!!. ( I'm 72yrs old).
Just in case not one mentions it. The House of the Rising Sun is a brothel.
Ring of fire by the animals is brilliant
Growing up in the 60's, being in a garage band was almost required. (best way to impress the girls) This song was very common in the playlists of these bands. I was in a few and actually took it to the next level for a while. That is a story for another day. BTW, this song is MUCH older than the 60's
Years ago, I worked in a car dealership, when one day a Porsche 911 was towed in with a blown clutch.
The driver was the key board player, Alan Price. Never got chance to speak to him though !
Recorded in one take in a 30 min slot, Micky Most their manager didn't think it would be a hit because it was to long, hence the short studio time. Alan Price the organist had his name put down as the writer of this traditional song as there wasn't enough space to put all their names on the record. He subsequently received all the royalties which has been a heated hate with Eric Burben the singer to this day. When released in the US the organ section was cut out to shorten the record.
Massive band loads of hits Alan Price on organ had his own band and lots of hits the bass player took Jini Hendriks to the UK the rest is history.
A couple of points. The band got a shock when on release of the record the credits stated traditional arranged by Alan Price keyboard player and the manager. This upset the rest of the band who got no royalties and had to keep playing the song forever. The bass player is Chas Chandler who brought Jimi Hendrix to the UK where he became the second best guitarist in the world.
Ooh, you've got a little Jess 😊 So sweet. I really wish my son was little again. All snuggly and innocent. Mine just had his 36th birthday and I love him to pieces but I can't believe how fast the time has gone. As always, another great reaction. I'm so glad I found your channel as you always make me happy ✌🇬🇧
Don't know why, but looking and listing to these guys always makes me feel like they have bin through it. Can't put my finger on it, its a vibe I get. This man has seen things. That is the vibe I get. Amazing music!
Edit:
You guys thought the same I hear. I was jumping the gun maybe. Still the feeling doesn't change, have a good day.
Give When I Was Young a try, the lyrics and delivery are so strong
With some of the 60s and 70s music and songs, like the Tina Turner's 71' Soul To Soul i turn, as Björk said, "violently happy"; this is the real/true music for me.
The reason for the quality of this is that it was filmed on 35mm for a proposed cinema release of acts of 1964. The project was never realised and we are lucky that the film survived. Incidently you will never see the complete film as the introductions to each act was done by the late and infamous Jimmy Saville.
This was done in 1964...the first British invasion. Epic stuff.
Wow,and no autotune baby 👏🏻💪💪💪💪
Classic
the original song was by Leadbelly
No it wasn't. He recorded a version, but there's earlier ones, and the origins go back a lot further, several hundred years. There's a whole Wikipedia page about it.
Fantastic! The suits were just a copy from the Beatles!
Eric Burdon is 83 now and up until 5 years ago was still singing and touring.
THis song was originally written in 1925 !! This version was a hit for the Animals ( A Nth.E. of England Group from the early sixties ) p.s. I'm with Jess on her opinion of real music ! The lead singer is Eric Burdon and the keyboard player is Alan Pryce who went on to have a bit of a solo career.
Alan Price on keyboards had some hits as a solo artist, and also some duets with yet another British icon called Georgie Fame (A real heartthrob back in the day) who in turn appeared regularly with the great Van 'The Man' Morrison - well worth checking out even if you don't react to them.
The pub across the road from my house is called The Rising Sun and if I had a pound for every time someone puts this on the jukebox, I’d be a very very rich man😂
Great song, great reaction, and never apologise for being great parents ❤
Love the way the Brits look , that respectability with a hint of total danger...😂
Music lost it's soul a long, long time ago. All the best.
and the bass player Chas Chandler discovered Jimi Hendrix and brought him to the UK where he became famous
The TV show had less than 10 minutes to shoot this and they did it! No warning... Just sing it dude!
