The best part of this song is the fact that it was recorded in one take. Perfect!
And remember, this was before auto tune. That's his real voice. Eric Burdon is a legend.
there is no microphone and none of the instruments are even plugged in............ it's called dubbing.
@@JuandeFucaUExactly !! its 100% dubbed..but great tune otherwise.
Wow one take that is amazing 👍👍👍👍
One take in the studio. This is mimed.
If this was done in one take then please explain how the keyboardist is in completely different place at the end?
That tall bass player was Jimmy Hendrix's manager. ❤🤍💙
Chas Chandler who in the 70’s went on to manage the hugely successful Slade who were the biggest selling singles artist of the 70’s
Really? That's a cool bit of trivia!
“We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “Don’t Bring Me Down” are all excellent songs by the Animals. Eric Burton went on to a solo career and with the band War later as well. “Drink the Wine” is a good one.
I always loved "Sky Pilot." A song about the Vietnam War.
Spill the Wine*
And “It’s My Life” is a kind of anthem of the generation.
“It’s My Life” and “Sky Pilot” are great too.
When I was young, a pretty unknown song.
Yo Eric Burdon was BORN middle aged. Man was 22 going on 60 here
Yeah but he looks like 14 LOL
if you think THAT, try Colter Wall. Sleeping on the Black Top. He was 20!
How about Doctor my eyes written by Jackson Browne when he was 16
great line. just great music.
That ‘old soul’ Eric Burdon, still going strong at age 82, currently touring in 2024. Though made several years before I was born, grew up hearing the song. And like many who weren’t around in the 60’s, was absolutely shocked by Eric’s youthful appearance when I first saw him in this video.
This was the 60's, the tv executives wanted the bands to be solemn on the shows because they thought that was what their audience would want. Nice reaction Young Lady, talk all you want. You have a soothing voice.
Strangely in this case I feel the solemnity fits the song.
The American TV networks had nothing to do with the bands of the 60s and 70s demeanor. I spent two decades working at a major alphabet network and equal time in music. The bass player for the Animals went on to manage Jimi Hendrix.
This was a clip from one of many British movies featuring hits of the day.
This was the first non-Beatles British invasion song to hit number 1 I. The US
Aileen the music in the 60s, 70s, and 80s,s was amazing...so many amazing songs, will take you sometime going through it all...if you need any help drip me a line
Eric was a beast vocally, even at this young age. Incredible….
You weren't born in the wrong time, you're born in a great time with the opportunity and technology to check out all of the greatest music ever produced.
Eric Burdon sounds like he has lived a lifetime; if you just heard the song and didn't see him, you would never know he was in his early 20s
One of the true timeless classics of pop music. Eric Burdon's voice was insane. And Alan Price at the organ is rocking it!
Try to find the original from the 1930s and listen to it .
@@jondaley2588 Will try, thx!
Before the British Invasion really launched, there was a serious dive into the Blues music of the American South - the Mississippi Delta region in particular - being shared by young bands in England. When groups like the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Kinks, The Zombies, et al arrived on our shores, they were already more influenced by American bluesmen than most of the teens they were playing to. Even the Beatles were playing tunes by Chuck Berry and Little Richard.
The blues had been largely ignored by radio stations in the
U.S., so we thought all the Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc. covers of their songs we were hearing were songs which had originated in England.
The Animals with lead singer Eric Burden were a serious blues band.
it takes tremendous talent to tap the cymbals so lightly for any amount of time, and he does it flawlessly
Stank face is a compliment. Don't feel bad about it. 😎😎
Glad to have you back Aileen, you tube and life was empty without your infectious spirit.
Didn't expect this reaction, BANGING song!
It's always funny to see people discover old classics. I remember loving this song as a kid 30 years ago (and have ever since). Crazy to think it was already 30 years old at the time!
Yep, I’m 38 and first heard it when I was probably 7 or 8. My mom raised me on all the music she grew up with in the 60’s and 70’s, and I’ll be forever grateful for that.
@@ninja_tony Same with my own Mom.
I'm a bit older so I actually do remember feeling really bad when news came out about Karen Carpenter passing away. Mom took it pretty hard and I always liked Karen's voice and the fact that she was also a drummer. I was still a kid but it had some effect.
I am fully aware that many people these days have NO IDEA who The Carpenters are. It's just really sad. Not enough people are raised on the Classics.
Imagine how it is for a 60+ for when these songs were new. I'm seeing so many people discovering the 60's, 70's and even 80's music that they have never heard of, but meant so much to so many in the day.
@@lynjenkins6473 Haha, I can only imagine! Seeing people discover my childhood music (and movies etc) is a guilty pleasure pastime of mine. I love seeing people experiencing my favorite things for the first time.
@@lynjenkins6473 67 here the songs of the era were the backdrop of our youth. The 60's was a very turbulent decade, war, civil rights struggles, assassinations of major political figures, JFK, Malcohm X, MLK, Bobby Kennedy, all murdered within a 5-year period, many believing that it was plot to erase anyone that could bring about real change.
It scared us in a way understanding that the elites would go to any limit to maintain their control.
What a great review! I’ve known this song my entire life and loved it. I’m 66. It’s fantastic to witness your appreciation of this classic song performed by this seminal band. I guess I’ll subscribe. 😊
The Animals has always been one of my favorites. Eric Burdan's voice is absolutely incredibly soulful
Probably one of the top 10 rock songs ever made. The definition of a timeless classic.
yep - unimprovable
Eric Burdon - one of Britains best Blues voices of the 60's. So iconic, the song and this version. I love it.
Iconic enough for many bands to cover it.
My favorite of those covers is by Five Finger Death Punch. They do some really amazing covers, that one included.
The animals first playing this song was in 1964 at the odeon cinema in Southend in Essex England, Eric said we’re going to play our new song it’s called house of the rising sun, we recorded it a week ago, and it’s the first time anyone else has heard it, the crowd went wild, they played it 3 times, then the singer Eric said “ we’ve got to get off to welcome the star of the show, here he is, CHUCK BERRY, Chuck came on saying how do I follow that, with that he went straight into Johnny B good, and did the duckwalk, all true, I was there that very night
I saw Eric Burdon 10 years ago, and he still sounded great! He made a lot of great music that still plays over FM airwaves. Yeah, I still listen to radio 🤷♂️
60s bands that have unique sounds not usually mentioned are Blind Faith, Traffic, The Yardbirds, etc.
Lead Singer Eric Burdon is powerful in every The Animal's record. "When I Was Young" was a big Fav from 1967. Eric also was with the group War, which released "Spill The Wine" in 1970.
Jimi Hendrix had his last live performance with Eric and War.
"When I Was Young" is my favorite Animals song. It reminds me of my dad.
@@Dragon_Werks awesome, we’re probably the same age, in the ‘60s we used to ride our schwinn bikes through Los Angeles with transistor radios on the handle bars, the music and then beats anything today.
@alieensenpai listen to misunderstood please
The guitartist, Hilton Valentine was smiling, trying not to laugh, because the plan was to have all of them in the end shot. The keyboard was being moved as Alan Price continued to play. It obviously struck Valentine as being funny.
I love this. This was the first song that I learnt on guitar when I was 8 years old.
This song has so much ebb and flow and acoustically as a soloist or duet really brings it to life.
Total Classic song! House of the Rising Sun is iconic and just badass! You nailed it as being really soulful and that elec organ solo is awesome! Thanks for making my day Aileen ❤💛
absolutely love this song such a classic
One of my favorite songs.
I was 10 yrs old when this song was first released (1964)! Loved it then and love it today ! Thanks for bringing back old memories!
I love the detail about this video.
The drummer is chewing gum.
The keyboardist plays next to the drummer until the end, where he is clear across the room.
And no cables on the guitars, no microphones. Lip-sync to the original studio recording. Kinda funny but still great.
@@dalmac5978so few people pick up on that
And that was what i heard broke the guitarist, the picking up the keyboard and moving him
You've got to realize that all those years ago, we basically only heard an artist on the radio. Some of us bought the album or 45, other's were lucky enough to see them live. There was no MTV or internet. Occasionally, these taped or live performances were seen, depending on where they were broadcast. TV wasn't the same either, not a massive number of channels.
This song is a really old English Folk song and has been re-written and re-arranged since the 16th Century. This version is based off of a blues version of this song from the 30’s. There is a rich history to this song and on the last verse where he mentions “going back to the old ball and chain” refers to a time in our history where prisoners would wear a shackles anchored to a cannon ball to keep them from escaping the prison. Love this version and love your reactions. “Don’t let me be misunderstood”, “We gotta Get Out Of This Place” and “San Francisco Nights” are some great Animals songs to listen to and Eric Burden who is the lead singer has some great solo stuff and was also in the band called “War”. Another band worth checking out!! “spill the wine” is a great “War” song with Eric Burden as lead vocals. Other “War” songs include “Why Can’t we Be Friends”, “Cisco Kid” and “Low Rider” although Eric Burden was not the singer for those. Enjoy!!
An old English folk song about New Orleans?? That sounds ridiculous.
@@kevinflynn4519 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Rising_Sun take a look at this Wikipedia page. You may be surprised. The version of this song that “The Animals” are playing is a re-telling of a blues version of the song from the 1930’s. But it wasn’t always a song about New Orleans. I loved this song and did some research on the songs origins and were as shocked as you are.
@@kevinflynn4519 The lyrics have changed over the centuries, even since this version was recorded. Folk songs are like living things.
As a student of guitar, when they teach arpeggios, single sequential strings of the chords, this song is used for that. I've spent hours picking the chords one string at a time to this record, trying to match that rythm.
Love your reaction!
A great "modern" retelling of a very old folk song. And Eric Burdon, an Englishman with a delta soul.
Your thumbnails really are the best with how heartfelt you always look in them 🥹Already can tell this reaction is gonna be so good ❤️
“Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”
Loved that one
Looking good like always..... The Animals like the Beatlea, the Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark 5 were just a few of the fantastic bands that came across the pond during the US British Invasion.
UFFFF Aileen...un clasico..The Animals!! Gracias x la reaccion...❤👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
So much soul 😍🤝🇲🇨
Way before my time (but great song 🎵 👌)
great emotional reaction aileen. "house of the rising sun" by the animals is one of my all time favorites from the 1960s. the eric burdon vocals and band are excellent and the styling, colors, etc of the video represent that time period so well and remind me of the american culture that followed from bands like the carpenters to tv shows like the partridge family, brady bunch, etc when i was very young. if you want to react to an amazing female version of this song, haley reinhart does an amazing job of capturing all the deep soul of this version while reinterpreting in bluesy slowed down way... the a-capella intro is genius and the way haley drops the third chorus down is great not to mention all that rasp, growls and belts that follow through to the end. she placed 3rd on AI in 2011, yet even today, many people consider her performance one of the best ever on that show. i subscribed and look forward to more emotional reactions... good luck with the channel! 😎
Man this song just made my day today it was a rough start at work this morning but just hearing this made my morning very much better Another amazing reaction as always ❤🔥
Eric Burdon is a Geordie BEAST !! to this day !
Heard many young people say has you did, that they were born in the wrong time, having lived that time 60's,70's it makes me smile to hear it. Yes, it was a great time for music.
This song is very old, its origins can be traced back to an English Folk song, brought to the US sometime in the early 1800s and slightly changed to suit whoever performed it. This version tells of a brothel in New Orleans and The Animals' version is the most well known.
This video clip is a little weird, between some band members walking around the set and the drums and keyboard being moved later in the piece. You can also see the lack of cables on the guitars. It was filmed for a movie (I think it was titled Top Gear or Fab Gear?)
This is the first lineup of The Animals, their gritty sound reflecting their upbringing in the rough neighbourhoods of Newcastle.
After this version of the band broke up, guitarist Chas Chandler found himself in New York where he chanced upon seeing a young guitarist whose style absolutely floored him. He convinced this guy to come to the UK to help jump start his career, found him a drummer and bassist to back him and introduced the new trio to the world as the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
I love this Song
The tone they were able to get out of unplugged instruments is impressive.
Classic!
Haunting sound In this song
The song “House of the Rising Sun” by The Animals is a classic rock ballad that has been interpreted in many ways over the years. The song’s lyrics are based on a traditional folk song, and its meaning has been debated by music fans and scholars alike.
According to the song’s writer, Eric Burdon, the song is about a young man who is warning his sister to stay away from the “House of the Rising Sun,” which is a metaphor for a brothel or a place of temptation. The song’s lyrics describe the ruin of “many a poor boy” who has been seduced by the house and its occupants.
The song’s origins are unclear, but it is believed to have been written in the 17th or 18th century. It has been recorded by many artists over the years, including Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, and Nina Simone. The Animals’ version, which was released in 1964, is one of the most well-known and enduring versions of the song.
The song’s meaning has been interpreted in many ways over the years. Some have seen it as a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation and the consequences of sin. Others have interpreted it as a commentary on the exploitation of women and the objectification of the female body.
Regardless of its meaning, “House of the Rising Sun” is a powerful and haunting song that has become a classic of rock music. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless themes and its ability to evoke strong emotions in listeners.
Thank you for sharing what you really feel. A good bartender is a precious person.
I just heard this twice live a month, month and a half ago. The Animals were on their farewell tour in Australia and I saw them in Sydney and then happened to be in Canberra couple of weeks later when they were there. So, went to listen to them again. Fabulous concerts! John Steel in the drums is the only original band member, but at the age of 83 he can still handle those sticks :)
HELLO AILEEN
Excellent band and song - classic, thanks for listening to this - plenty of great hits from the past.
LOVE the keys in this tune . The keyboard is a VOX Continental - certainly has that 60s sound.
This has always been one of my favorite songs
This is a great cover of a song by Lead Belly. Other well-known covers of his work include “Black Betty” and “Where Did You Sleep Last Night.”
Your powers of observation are refreshing.
Just watching you expressions is great. Amazing performance.
Something I'll mention that I think is relevant...is that the bassist here at the time for The Animals (Chas Chandler) was later on very "instrumental" in helping Jimi Hendrix get discovered. Of course there's more to the story than that, but I'm not going into the full story here, too much to write about. If one wants to, just simply look up the whole back story behind Chas being recommended to check out Jimi in NYC in 1966, and what happened afterward.
Five Finger Death Punch did a cover of this and the video is awesome. Very Mad Max-ish
I know that someone has already told you that in this feed, but the muse did pretty good cover of that :)
This is a jam.
No autotune, real bands real music!
He also sings, Spill the Wine, from War.
When I was a Lecturer at Northern Illinois University one day I played this video while waiting for class to start. One student told his friend that he was surprised by how young the band was, he always figured it was an old blues band.
Might be my favorite vid. So raw.
One of my favorite bands... Amazing!
Gänsehaut am ganzen Körper!
Damn, I love your diagnosis of this song. Great job on a fantastic tune.
You might like their song Monterrey, which is a reflection upon the rock festival they played there in 1967 (the precursor to Woodstock in '69).
Started watching you for Ren's reactions, but this is a classic and i love to see Younger people discovering this.
HEYYY GORGEOUS AILEEN😍
This song is special to me. I had an uncle I was close to - he wasn't that much older than me. He was very supportive during my childhood at time when I needed it, and he sang and played a white stratocaster. Two songs he played a lot and I can see and hear him in my mind all these years later. This was one of them. The other was Runaway by Del Shannon.
Brilliant song and band. They were my Mother's favourite band other than The Beatles. I would recommend "We gotta get out of this place" and "Don't let me be misunderstood" by them too.
Burdon's voice hits like a truck.
That Alan Price Organ solo tho.
Chas Chandler, the bassist, became one of Britain’s greatest mangers. He managed Jimi Hendrix amongst others. He was also a record producer.
I have had the reaction of HOW DOES THIS LAD HAVE SUCH A VOICE(I know Mr Burdon is in his 80s by now but back then he was like early 20s)
When it was released nearly 60 years ago, it had a certain magic, that "X" factor and it still has that magic, that captures the soul.
Absolutely brilliant! Gave me chills
Burden collaborated the War for a song called "spill the wine " .was a hit on radio at the time
Yay a band from my hometown. Love The Animals. What a voice
I love this song, I love this video and I love your reaction to it. I wish I could be hearing it for the first time again. I instantly crank the volume anytime this song comes on the radio.
Eric Burdon! WOW! There are very few singers who can give a rock song like "House of the Rising Sun" that touch of soul to make it perfect! I can only think of the late, great Amy Winehouse! These are once in a generation singers! Thank you, Aileen for sharing this wonderful piece of art with us! Carry on! 💓🤘👍
i was lucky enough to have seen them in Toronto, in 1980, i think it was. it was epic. saw them, steppenwolf, peter gabriel, krokus, and others, all in the same week.
the Alan Price - Vox Continental organ is everything in this song
@aileensenpai you weren't born in the wrong time. you were born in the right time to be able to enjoy classic music in addition to current releases.
I was 6 when this song came out and I remember my brother listening to it all the time on his record player while practicing the notes on his guitar. I was a first grader who knew every word of that song, along with a few other songs on the album. I felt pretty grown up for a kid, however, it was still another 5 years before the folks let me start growing my hair a bit longer like the Animals, Stones, and other bands. I just turned 66 over the weekend and appreciate greatly the so many happy memories provided by the music you react to. Keep it up and thank you❣❣❣❣❣❣
Cool! (belated) Happy Birthday to you! :)
@@jamescurfman3284 Thank you.
@@bubbavonmax4211 You are very welcome. I hope you got to have as much fun as you wanted and not too much to handle. :D
@@jamescurfman3284 These days I can handle just about anything. After my nap, that is.
@@bubbavonmax4211 :D
I was born 79 my family got me into the music so the soul in my blood and by the way I love sam Cooke They are the best in the 60s like the Beatles the who the rolling stones they are blues band you have to know the UK bands from the 60s beautiful 💖
I remember hearing this song on Turner classic radio growing up when my grandpa would play his AM stations. Goth goddess is looking super happy lately and I'm totally here for it! 🥰🥰🥰
A classic British band that lasted over 50 years, but barely were noticed by the press were The Pretty Things. They started as a straight-up blues/R&B band like The Rolling Stones (co-founding member Dick Taylor was an original member of the Stones) then evolved into maybe the first alternative band that experimented in all directions, credited with the first rock opera "S.F. Sorrow" and other great albums like "Parachute." They were the missing link between the blues rockers like the Stones, the Yardbirds, and Zeppelin; the adventurous songwriters like The Beatles, The Kinks, and the Who; and the psychedelic space rockers like Pink Floyd and Hawkwind. Bowie covered them, and they were signed to Zeppelin's label for a time. David Gilmour memorably joined them for "The Final Bow" a filmed record of one of their last concerts. Well worth a look and a listen.
Holy cr@p! the print of your top/shirt/dress/whatever is frickin' cool.
I've always loved this song. Also lots of tv shows and movies have used this song. Mostly just to set up the mood or as part of the story. Still remember hearing through out an episode of Supernatural.
From someone approaching 70 we enjoy those younger enjoying it just has much!
I was worried at first that you might not feel this song. But then I came to my senses. Great reaction, thanks so much.
So great to see a young person enjoying this song . I played this on the jukbox in a tavern this past summer. I couldn't believe how many young people went up to see what the name of the song was . Lol
So many songs by Eric Burdon..... We've Got To Get Out Of This Place is another
gem... many more.... going down the Eric Burdon rabbit hole is a good journey~!
They were 19 when this was released. FYI the bassist is Chas Chandler who discovered and managed Jimi Hendrix.
I grew up hearing this song on classic rock stations, and songs by CCR, too... and with both bands, I was really surprised when I saw the lead singers for the first time. they look so young for the powerful, soulful voices they have! (of course, I've seen a few really young girls, too, on UA-cam...)
Ah yes another classic! There is also a nice metal cover of the band Sentenced which still is among my favorite versions of this song.
u shall looking for "don't let it be misunderstood", then resumed by Santa Esmeralda in 1977 (from "The Ed Sullivant Show", on ytb too.....)
Eric Burden is a much underated singer. Try "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood", "When I Was Young", "I'm Crying". The bassist was Chas Chandler - the man credited with discovering Jimi Hendrix. Also, it's lovely to see you back.
