It was a thrill to be playing songs I copied 17 years earlier but we did quite a bit of new material and even wrote and recorded some new songs. I passed on the Animals reunion (Ark) in 1983 but played his 60th birthday in 2001 and recorded on his My Secret Life album. 2006 he asked me to tour with him again and and remembering what fun it was, I toured until 2016 because we had a lot of fun playing and creating on and offstage together. Many great memories. Hilton Valentine was on the band for a year and a half too and when we were on the bus at times they would sing school songs they knew from Newcastle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY greetings to ERIC BURDON who turns 80 years today! (born May 11, 1941). Eric how can we begin to thankyou for all you have given the music world over the years.

Happy Belated Birthday Eric😍😍💋💋80 yrs young still listening to your music dude!!! Wish i could of seen you in concert i'm 19 years younger but like all your songs!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Ryan Beckman Yep...when I was listening just now I was thinking the same thing. ..this song will never get old. ..it will go down in history as one of the greats. ..
Questa canzone è legata a un piccolo racconto che lessi quando era ragazza e dire che mi colpì è un eufemismo!!!x questo è perché e stupenda e lui è vocalmente stratosferico!!
I was stopped at a traffic light last week and the young man next to me about 16 yrs old was jamming to this song. I just looked at him and smiled, no words needed to be said he knew!
Power of Film You think that having homosexual tendencies is wack? You hate gay people? I bet you lynch black people too. I’m finna send Antifa to your house.
Louise Laubach 74??? Wow you rock man. I’m 16 and I absolutely hate the new music, I don’t get how people can like it haha. This is def one of my new songs and I can’t wait for its legacy to continue! Have a good one dude!
Me too...i loved it since the firt time i heard it and i didn't know english back the then.... Now i love it more acknowledging there is so much art and amazing talent in this son...I'm 60
Of course he did or you wouldn't be hearing him all these years later. He compromised the original lyrics for that worldly recognition you now enjoy. For example: "My mother was a Traitor. Sold my new blue jeans. " Burdon sang what the authorities wanted him to instead of the ugly truth. More people would have understood the reason for Katrina if they were aware of the ancient evil transported from Orlean.
Your right man but these illegals don't want to assimilate I think the baby boomer's that's my generation I remember watching Dick Clark on American Bandstand in 60-67:and then I got drafted not good but it was my duty

All over the radio in Charleston SC in 1965 as I headed to Vietnam. My world changed at age 19 and I have never really recovered. Am 72 now but still live with it. Love this song.
Thanks xxBanana. I served my country proudly when called. Hospital corpsman 2nd class, Echo 2/4, 3rd Marine Division. I was honored to care for America's finest young men.
Absolutely timeless. The 6/8 time signature of this piece makes it unique and make it stand out from your traditional 4/4 rock tunes. 50+ years and still so relevant. In another 50 years House of the Rising Sun will still be timeless

Played this at my late Father's funeral... Was his favourite song. Music can do amazing thing's, I often listen to this song when feeling down in the dumps... Takes my mind back in time, thinking of the great days and times I had with my Dad.
Christopher Connolly - sorry man for your loss, man. This is an amazing song for a funeral ... so powerful. Just awesome to have this instead of the usual "holy" dirges that are played at those times. Wow - you must have been an awesome son, man! Your Dad also seems to have been totally awesome.
@@bernardofitzpatrick5403 Thanks, we had a great relationship... He would sing this song on Karaoke, even in his 70s he would blast it out... I felt it was fitting to be played at his funeral.
What a CLASSIC! I'm glad I grew up listening to this and other amazing bands from that time. Music got me through the hard times of my youth and I still love listening to all the great bands of my time. I'm lucky to have grown up when I did!
youre at least asking the right questions. The answer is given by listening to the sheer dogshit they call 'music' nowadays which is a reflection of our society's downward fucking spiral into cesspool of horsecrap. Most of the music nowadays is not much more than softporn and songs about gagstahs bangin bitches up their souless ass.
Didnt know him......But i love this title.....And if my brother would play this on my funeral......oh would love him more then i do now....if i could know.....sorry for this bad english :) !
I was thinking along those same ideas; a funeral or memorial is a good choice. I liked this tune when it first came out (the Animals version) way back in the sixties. The tune and the theme seems to go back much farther but the Animals version caught the attention of many millions of listeners. It sounds just as good today as it sounded more than 50 years ago.
Good on you... Music at a funeral is usualy played from the point of view of the living while it should be a last message from the departed.... At mine, I hope they play Money for Nothing and Highway to Hell
IS the keyboard track on a loop? Because it doesn't look like his hands are matching the music. OR am I completely wrong? (very possible, my music training stopped with 4th grade recorder)
*organ.... but yeah definitely. and by the way John the whole video is a little off. Just watch the singer hes ahead of the music. That's old tech for you though
This is one of the most American-sounding songs ever recorded, in my opinion, so I was quite surprised to learn that House of the Rising Sun originated in England. Based on an old English folk song about a pub, apparently.
I just read that the song has been around since the 18th century. They changed it up a bit and redid the melody but the song itself is way older than the animals.
@@farmsgrace341 It's been recorded many times by a lot of different singers, including Joan Baez, Ronnie Gilbert (The Weavers,)Woody Guthrie, Jimi Hendrix, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton and Haley Reinhart to name just a few of them.

...Eric Burdon and the Animals breathed soul into this song...THEY GAVE IT AN INDELIBLE TOUCH...sung in their image...they own it... others have attempted but none have been able to conjure up that spirit...they are imitations...
In 1964 I was 10 years old, I remember listening to this song on the way to Palmdale California to go target shooting in the desert, my family had a tape recorder with a whole bunch of songs in it and this was one of them, it was kind of a long trip from Los Angeles to Palmdale but it was a lot of fun, have a great day my friend

I feel like this song was WAY ahead of its time. Incredible.

You are correct! And screw everyone who attempted to cover it and failed.
Pretty sure this was heavily influenced by Bob Dylan’s version of it
Dylan’s vocals were god fucking awful tho

Eric Burdon's magnificent echoing voice is what made this song a classic. This guy never got the recognition he deserves.

Soulful voice. He's a wonderful singer.

14, years old, this song still remains to be greatest of all time, your generation was the time of good music.
@@bobanekification are you 80? Interesting!
Still fascinated with Eric Burdon after all these years. What a singer
Y'ma'nigguh
I am 64 years old and this one of my favorite songs. They don't do them like this anymore.
Me to same age love the song and the wild times I've had
Wow i hope in another 35 years i will be saying this about my 90's Hip Hop
@@FreddyKingz36 God, I hope not. No one worth a damn from my age group admits to disco.
I'm 66 feel the same
@@suicidaleuphoria7012 people don't "play" music anymore, they "sample" it...
Dude had such a great voice
I'm 71 and wishing we still had real music like this in 2019.
Maybe 'king krule', 'trudy and the romance' and 'cosmo pyke' change your idea, sir.
I know. Crap today.
I'm only a kid and I like Nirvana, animals, arctic monkeys, Radiohead , rolling stones all those now there shit songs nowadays
Why can't music be this cool anymore? It's layered, unique, and has an awesome rhythm that just gets deep down in your soul.
maybe you just haven’t found the right music? there are bands that sound like this i’m sure
This music has always been cool
It's still cool. Songs like this are cool. No distinction between verses and chorus, chord wise. Like hit the road Jack, and a few more.
youre at least asking the right questions. The answer is given by listening to the sheer dogshit they call 'music' nowadays which is a reflection of our society's downward fucking spiral into cesspool of horsecrap. Most of the music nowadays is not much more than softporn and songs about gagstahs bangin bitches up their souless ass.
This was my late brother Trevor’s favoured song he loved it we played it at his funeral rip trev
Didnt know him......But i love this title.....And if my brother would play this on my funeral......oh would love him more then i do now....if i could know.....sorry for this bad english :) !
I was thinking along those same ideas; a funeral or memorial is a good choice. I liked this tune when it first came out (the Animals version) way back in the sixties. The tune and the theme seems to go back much farther but the Animals version caught the attention of many millions of listeners. It sounds just as good today as it sounded more than 50 years ago.
God rest your brother soul in peace.
my greetings from Oman
Good on you... Music at a funeral is usualy played from the point of view of the living while it should be a last message from the departed.... At mine, I hope they play Money for Nothing and Highway to Hell
Rip trevor
Слушал в 80-х, впервые. Вещь. Голос, музыка.... Они останутся навсегда.
Как держат себя, прекрасно, смотришь и не насмотришься
Gives me chills. Wish we still had music
Gives me chills as well
We still have music. It’s a new genre called ‘Asses and Heartbreak’
We still have music dipshit
A classic never to be forgotten while we oldies are still here!
Need to update to real oldies..... No Beatles just us ANIMALS
Dude on the keyboard is killing that shit, love it!!!!!!!!!!!
davisdunnit I miss out yrg yrs
He is !!!
IS the keyboard track on a loop? Because it doesn't look like his hands are matching the music. OR am I completely wrong?
(very possible, my music training stopped with 4th grade recorder)
*organ.... but yeah definitely. and by the way John the whole video is a little off. Just watch the singer hes ahead of the music. That's old tech for you though
Damn straight!
One of the best songs ever. Completely timeless.
This song will never grow old, it's still one of the best
This is one of the most American-sounding songs ever recorded, in my opinion, so I was quite surprised to learn that House of the Rising Sun originated in England. Based on an old English folk song about a pub, apparently.
The best rendition of this classic song, ever. I thought it was great when I first heard it in 1964 and still think so today.
So Damn True!!!!!!
this song will live forever
such a fantastic classic
Lyrics were already over 50 years old when the animals recorded it.
And recorded by several artists before The Animals, as well.
whole up
Я еще маленькой была, но услышав эту песню влюбилась в этот мотив и эту любовь пронесла всю жизнь и по сей день, а мне уже 65. 👏🔥😭
Song was way ahead of their time. Classic.
No it was the perfect time.❤
I just read that the song has been around since the 18th century. They changed it up a bit and redid the melody but the song itself is way older than the animals.
@@farmsgrace341 It's been recorded many times by a lot of different singers, including Joan Baez, Ronnie Gilbert (The Weavers,)Woody Guthrie, Jimi Hendrix, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton and Haley Reinhart to name just a few of them.
This song still resonates.....it ALWAYS will. I agree with you.
Saw the band perform this song live in NYC at a rock concert escorted as a child by my very cool and dear grandpa. RIP Grandpa
That is so freaking cool! Sounds like a rare amazing memory, very lucky you are.
Rip i bet he was a good man i hope you're ok.

Super son pour la b.o du film casino

Thank you wish i could turn the clock back in time.👍❤️🇿🇦

Think you'll find it's about a whore house and the dude has caught a dose of clap.
English sound engineers and musicians in the early 1960s were remarkably talented
Thank you, I didn't know
@@Saxondog It was changed to the whore house. The original concept was a pub.
Any link to that old English folk song ?

Ding ding
Happy birthday Eric! Spill the wine, take that girl.
There’s a sense of distance and insolation in this piece, it’s a tranquil subtle vibe which is haunting yet captivating at the same time.
I was thirteen when this song came out and I remember it like it was yesterday.
Боже, это чудо! Это вселенная. Я, хочу жить в этом. Невозможно слушать этот шедевр. Хочу, когда я умру была эта музыка.🥇💖🎉❤👏👏👏👏👏🎶💕🌹
Nothing close to this being made these days. We old farts had such great music to listen too. God Bless all who love this song.
❤️❤️👍👍
ХОРОШО СКАЗАЛ,БРАТ!! МНЕ 64 ГОДА. РОССИЯ

Dobrze powiedziane! Well said!

Truest thing ever
I'm 27 and it's my favorite song
Siryn - As long as we’re all here, the flame is still burning. I can see a revival happening in the future.
Well, I am 68 and I have liked this since they made it............
Damn my boy on the keys cookin.
You got that rite. Burnin them keys.
Keyboard player is Alan Price.
@@martinyates1488 thanks. Live it and love it.
I love this song. my son is a musician (pianist) this was the very first song that he learned how to play at age 12. He is now 26
My Grandmother used to play this and wake me uo in am on piano! She was so good early 80s! I would sit on piano bench next to her
...Eric Burdon and the Animals breathed soul into this song...THEY GAVE IT AN INDELIBLE TOUCH...sung in their image...they own it... others have attempted but none have been able to conjure up that spirit...they are imitations...
Аж мороз по коже, шедевр на все времена.
Estar en el teclado y no poder rascarse, pobrecito el tecladista.
The absolutely best rendition of "House of the Rising Sun" in my opinion.
Don't be so Humble.....Shout this!
I was 10 years old when this song came out it's still the best version!!
My absolute favorite of favorites....when it came out 55 years ago and now, when I am 79.

hope you live good memories when u were young. Im 15...
In 1964 I was 10 years old, I remember listening to this song on the way to Palmdale California to go target shooting in the desert, my family had a tape recorder with a whole bunch of songs in it and this was one of them, it was kind of a long trip from Los Angeles to Palmdale but it was a lot of fun, have a great day my friend
That's amazing that you're almost eighty and on youtube. I doubt ill make it to that age but I'll try.
Sweet . I have been playing this song on guitar for decades. This is the first time I SAW them. I almost cried. History. Thank you for this video.
Holy mother of God that keyboard solo part is amazing.
Hell yess !!!! Can’t even describe how fascinating and amazing it is
Thumbs down for your language
Is the great Allan Price.... Do you remember the British movie Lucky Man ?
@@Animal-qm2ni lol
A powerful masterpiece that will never be forgotten
Concuerdo contigo...simplemente algo para la historia
hi
I agree, great group.
@@danielgagnon4946 hi friend

Eric Burdon, one of the best voices of rock. I still love and listen this band.
Estou em julho de 2021, dia 1°, à noite, em Fortaleza no Ceará, deitada, me balançando numa rede bem branquinha cheirando a lavanda, ouvindo essa nostálgica canção, mas pra ouvi -la, tenho que aumentar bastante o volume do meu celular porque o som da chuva torrencial que cai agora é ensurdecedor...que maaraaviilhaaaa!!!!
Francisca 👏👏👏
