Talent wise, The Animals are a top ten all-time Rock and Roll band. Their songs and lyrics were, are and always will be, in touch with reality. They were great and ahead of their time.
Let go of your youth Georgie boy it’s gone and it’s insignificant
@@brianwilson8983let go of life while you’re at it
When i was young, never thought we would be existing in such an altered world.
Fact. Twilight zone every day.
Eric's early altered years: "Burdon describes his early school years as a "dark nightmare" that "should've been penned by Charles Dickens". Due to the river pollution and humidity in Newcastle he suffered asthma attacks daily. During primary school, he was "stuck at the rear of the classroom of around 40 to 50 kids and received constant harassment from kids and teachers alike." He goes on to say his primary school was "jammed between a slaughterhouse and a shipyard on the banks of the Tyne. Some teachers were sadistic - others pretended not to notice - and sexual molestation and regular corporal punishment with a leather strap was the order of the day."

We looked to the future with optimism then, I am glad I was young when I was.
How much more ALTERED will this WORLD become?
Eric Burdon was a total ORIGINAL. Nobody sounded like him-he was so raw and powerful. "Feral," you might call it.
20-years after he recorded this song, when I was still a bartender, he suddenly walked into my bar, and sat down. I was so thrilled I could hardly maintain my composure, so I just pretended not to recognize him. When I asked him his occupation, he just said, "I write songs." Later, he told me that he lived in Palm Springs, "because he loved the solitude of the desert," quite a change from where he was born, in Newcastle, England. When it came time to pay his bill, I said: "This one's on me." When he looked at me with a somewhat puzzled expression, I replied, "Do you know how many times my band played "House of the Rising Sun"?? He smiled, then handed me a ticket to catch a concert right after I got off work, to see the great jazz singer, Mose Allison. Two of my heroes, in the same night!! I'll never forget it:)
awesome beyond words!
and well played!
Wow! What a great story! I agree with you 100%, and I've never met EVB, but thank G-d, I did get to see him with my wonderful wife in September at Andiamo's in Warren, Michigan. I am so hooked on him I can't believe it. He is a true treasure.
Tip saver how cool is that, you might be the luckiest man on this planet
👍❤️🙏🏻
Another wonderful song for the 6-piece Eric berkman oh my God he's fabulous thank you for the memories and keep on singing
THE ANIMALS WERE MY FAVORITE GROUP IN THE 60'S. THEN I WAS DRAFTED AND SENT TO A WORTHLESS WAR IN VIETNAM. THEY BANNED ERIC BURDON'S SONG "WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE" FROM ARMED FORCES RADIO. I SURVIVED WHEN MANY OTHERS DID NOT, AND WAS LUCKY TO SEE ERIC BURDON IN CONCERT IN LAUGHLIN, NEVADA A FEW YEARS AGO. HIS VOICE STILL STANDS ATTENTION TODAY. STRONG AND ANGRY! I LOVED IT, JUST SAYING.
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸👊
So sorry for both of you. Mr Plunkett inculded. i do thank you for your service but im not quite sure of the point of modern war
Ty for your service and how you were treated when you came back from that useless war. God bless..........
Thank you!
Respect
"I was so much older then, when I was young." Such a powerful line.
I'd agree with this were it not for the fact that, three years earlier, Dylan had written "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
@@johnvanbomel4536 It is not a zero sum game. Art builds. Both are beautiful.
@@johnvanbomel4536 Sure… funny thing, y'know, Ramones covered both these songs. That's what brought me to this clip.
My favorite lyrics were The pain was much stronger the laugh was so much louder. When I was young.
My favorite line:
"Pain more painful, my laughter much louder...(when I was young)"
No one sings like EB, that guy just has power, range and soul oozing out of every note.
So true
" soul" nailed it. be well
Agree. 100%.
Steve Marriott!
@@stephentyas4698 And no one sings like Steve Marriot! 🙌🙌🙌
This song has always been like some mystical, epic, story to me, sending me back through the ages.
An incredible vocalist and band whose music is just as powerful today.
When I was young in the sixties, life was still full of expectations for our generation. Look at what is left of it now. Fortunately, the youth are always open-minded in their teenage years and that makes me feel good.
To go back to that time, we have the music of the Animals, the Stones, the Kinks, the Beatles, the Doors, and there is a whole series of very creative periods. I am glad I was able to experience this! 🙂
What an incredible voice Eric has. Just magnificent.
Yes, Erik Burden was controversial but his messages came through loud and clear! He sang from the heart and sent a message to everyone!
Rock on Eric!
Hi there... How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Eric controversial, that's news ..
@@glennhfriedman4571 Yeah I was going to ask her what that meant.
The Animals produced some of the best classics of the 60's.
Eric Burdons Rising Sun is up there with Hotel California.
I am 19 & this is the best music ever I listen to it all the time from the crap we have today & the animals are one of the best
Check out War, Ten Years After, maybe throw in some Black Sabbath, and Yes.
Same age as my daughter :))) I heard this at 3 yrs old, I'm 58 now. Amazing how music brings people together eh x
@@michaelc1966 KINKS
So agree with youtodays music has totaly lost its way
Hey, I love you for your words..I am 64 and I listened to them all and saw the most of them all on sage. Eric about 6 times.
I hope, you will discover all the super groups, we had in the 60th 70th
Their most underrated track....RIGHT HERE!
Their music was so mature compared to most music of the time. It is timeless and that's why it is still good today. Even though he was young, his voice sounded like it had lived a lifetime.
Я русская, рождённая в 1967 году, я кайфую от этой музыки и энергетики!!! Супер!
Спрячься, руская
@@lisapomeroy9222лучше ты беги !!!

His voice is just as great in person as it is on his records. Not many singers can achieve that. Just great!
In their heyday, The Animals could blow the Stones off the stage. Check out the NME awards for around 1965. Eric Burdon is one of the very best voices in rock.
The Beatles were on that bill, and although I don't think they compare to them with song writing and creativity, they blew everyone off the stage that night, including the Fab 4.
The animals were really popular with the song "House of the rising sun!" Best ever recorded! ❤
I doubt that. First off the Stones wrote their own songs, The Animals didn't. Don't get me wrong Eric Burdon is great and so are the Stones.
True, when the Stones got into their stride, they wrote their own stuff but in the early days, they were performing and recording songs by Lennon/McCartney, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry etc. Who knows, if the Animals had stayed together, they might have started writing their own material too.
@@blairsterling6141 tobie nie
This is what you call music. Straight to the point . None of the shit they rave on about in today's music.
True, today's music can't even compare
And what’s more we were 15 plus!
Aye.
None of that rap crap.
Are you going to spend the rest of your life bitching about today's music? You sound like your parents' generation bitching about rock and roll.
Can you just imagine being young again! What a great life!
I can. Hearing this makes getting older suck.
Not with republicans retrobte.
@@darwinkuby5846 what does that mean Durwood Scumby?
What a blast it would be! I think I'd like to have the same attitude as I do now though. 😅
I have been collecting The Animal's since 13,I'm now 57.I first saw Eric Burdon at Sunken Gardens here in San Antonio,Tx. back in the late 1990's.I was in front of the stage making a Peace Sign and right before he played the last song "Don't Bring Me Down",he takes off his bandana and tosses it to me.I put it in a shadow box along with my ticket stub and a newspaper segment about his concert..It has strands of his hair that are in the knot where he tied it on.A personal gift to me. J.J.F.
Save the D.N.A.
Maybe for a clone or two 🤔
93 Appleton Wisconsin Eric autographed my Eric burdon declares war and he put a peace sign around the white and black hands on the cover he also autographed my wife's chest after I picked her up and set her on stage what an animal
That is a treasure
This music is so amazing! I'm 37 and used to listen to 60s music as a teen. I'm rediscovering it now. And Eric Burdon was freakin' hot back then too. He had that tortured and smoky vibe long before Eddie Vedder, am I right?
Огромное спасибо за это удивительное ,невероятное удовольствие- видеть Эрика Бердона,да ещё так много,невероятнейший подарок!!!
♥ 11 May 1941 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to living legend ERIC BURDON who turns 79-years today. Eric you're the greatest and we love you. Heartfelt and best birthday wishes radiate out to you along with tons of appreciation and thanks from your hoards of fans worldwide. Here's to you lovely man. x
That's Nice live as long as you can
Shit hes that old. Damn
Today I have been feeling so down and all I can do is listen to all the songs of my youth 😂 and scream. Very therapeutic.
Eric you may be 80 now but you will always be young in my heart and ears. Thank you for a lifetime of music my friend
PEACE and LOVE
Why is there NOT a voice like this today?? Plus the music was far richer in every way with meaning and life changing tunes.
have you not heard my version yet?
@@goldcoastslim2117 Nope.
I grew up with these guys. Love them. Boy am I old.
I LOVED THE ANIMALS WHEN I WAS YOUNG. I STILL DO BUT NOW I AM OLD. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS.
Me too
My favorite Animals song reminds me of my youth.
Eric is an underrated vocalist .
By who?😎
He wasn't back in the sixties
Everyone who knows about music rates him
Lol sure
@@NormusJohnson88 by general media & classic rock radio ..they all love robert plant ,freddy mercury , etc (and rightfully so) but really ..how often do we hear that Eric had great rock/ blues vocals ?
this song saved so many souls.
What strong words from a great band..Eric Burdon was way ahead of his time. I grew up with thes guys and all the 60's and 70's bands.
some of the best music of the sixties they gave the beatles a run for there money
It was the Beatles cartoon that put them over the top...perhaps a kids show titled When I was young....Spill the Wine, a show about a bunch of goofs working at a winery, ala The Monkees
One of the great bands of the sixties. Eric Burdon was one the greates lead vocalists around
Yes
One day I came across three 14 year olds listening to this song(around 2010) They had no clue the song was over 40 years old. I told those kids they had class & were awesome. Hope they discovered more music of the era.
AMEN Mark ! What has happened to music , our younger generation , and AMERICA ?
Roger Crowder No Kidding...What has Happened?????
321reh some kids discover the old music either by the radio or by accident, or maybe they have an older relative who still has their old 45s & LPs (I do) & realize that good music doesn't consist of hip hop, rap or Justin Bieber.
did they immediately start twerkin? lol
Sheer Genius .People back then had to have actual talent , none of that computer enhanced manufactured garbage they call music these days .
One of the ten best rock singers of all time.
What...in possible heck did 712 "people" not like about this, wow... obviously... too Young.
One of the most powerful voice of the rock... I don't understand why The Animals are so underrated compared to Rolling Stones...
When I was a kid growing up in the late ‘60s, if The Beatles were too clean cut and establishment for you, you were an (Eric Burden and the) Animals fan. At that time the Stones were a “me too” band riding on the Beatles’ coat tails; e.g., Satanic Majesties rushed out after Sgt. Peppers. The Stones came into their own later.
Better than the rolling bones.
Eric Burton was one of the best singers in the 60 s British invasion. Only behind the Beatles
I'd rather listen to one Eric Burdon song than twenty Stone's songs.
I was a Stones fan first, then I was also an Animals fan, then Eric Burden & the Animals fan, then War, but still was & still am a Rolling Stones fan....I mean how can you not be when they're still together & alive?
60s best era ever for music. Eric Burdon was and still is fantastic. so young, we learnt so much when we were young!!! I believed in fellow man, I was so much older then when I was young. oh yeah! takes you back to being 18 again and relive the good and bad. so good to get this music on here. Thanks guys.
I was born in 1967 and I took the vibrations of this music & from Eric Burdon to my soul.
I'm in love with Eric, the charm of a bad boy with a baby face at it's finest
lol, you got it!!!
Urszula Żukowska. Ikr. He is also very intelligent and talented. Very humble down to earth when you hear him in interviews.
Urszu I fell The same
Incredible voice and some very soul stirring lyrics in most of their songs.
Ya Eric Burton! Good looking man! Lol 😆 and good singer! The animals band. 1967 I was 11 yrs old! But I love to listen to their songs the 1960s was a different era! Life was pretty much like the song his sang! Takes you back each time! Thank God we can at least go back in our minds! Lol 😆 good video 📹
Hi there... How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe??
I had this song on an EP about 100 years ago with Monterey and San Franciscan Nights. Played the crap out of it! Great singer, Eric!
👩🔬🕵️🌞🎵❤️❤️❤️
Found this song now. I love the animals and Eric burdon. Such a voice. More than 50 years ago and still amazing. This sound never died. Love you Eric. Sexy forever.
For sure, sexy 4ever. He's a beautiful man..😍😛😳..
The best music of the 60's for me was 65' to 67'. Another memorable song and performance by Eric Burdon he is a classic!! .
Für mich einer der besten " Stehblues " Songs in den 60ern
EB is our favorite rock singer of all time. Started listening to him when he was 23 and he’s 80 now. Hardly a day goes by that we don’t play a couple of his songs. His voice and passionate singing was remarkable!.
So true
Eric: One of the greatest singer of ever ! Original voice !!!!
Another great song by the Animals and the sexy voice of Eric Burdon. Wow!
Eric Burdon is one of my favourite singers...!!
Eric Burton an original from his day! Even now he is still hanging in there. Good ole rockin rollers are forever!
dont think we will ever see this kind of talent again
Sad but true
I was 12 when this song came out - loved it then, love it now.
Talented Musicians!!That lead singer kicks Ass!!
the best british r/b voice ever, and he is a geordie, like me.
My first dance was to Sky Pilot. If Eric were to arrive today, he would put most bands to shame.
He always makes his art look so effortless.
Yes
Eric Burden must be the most underrated singer of all time he is awesome I am lucky to come from Newcastle and have closely followed his career
Underrated by whom?
@@talbotsplace7316 Well, when talking bout music from this era youll have to search very good to find eric burdon; expect for The House Of the.... And he was better then Paul Mccartney, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison and so on. He was the best of the 60s, thats for sure. But luck wasnt on his side. And, lets make this clear also; Eric Burdon couldn't give a fuck about it all, he just wanted to sing and get his FUCKING point across. Btw i've never spoke to the man himself, im 16 tiny years young, but this man Eric Bourboun is a hero for me and I would sell my phone to meet him.
He was/is very well known in the US
@@talbotsplace7316 The ignorant public.
The Animals! - one of the greatest of English bands, evergreen and interesting to this day. so happy to find videos and performances I've known were out there but could never get my hands on.
Man i love this band... nobody could sing theses songs like he does!
You know you’re old when you start reminiscing of the days of “real” music.
Still gives me chills after many years.
Saw him perform a couple of years ago, the voice was still there.😊👍🏻
I am 54 years old and I first heard this when my mother and father took us to the beach and I slept with my daddy's Longines Symphonette portable radio. I was blown away. Later in my teens I got the 2-record set entitled "The Best of Eric Burdon and the Animals" which is on the Abkco label. I still have it now and no scratches whatsoever.
This video is the best. The violinest (with the electric pickup on the body of the violin) is GREAT. Thank you for sharing this.
I thought: what a nice young boy. and then he started singing. wow. did not know them before. what a voice. such dark and powerful passion.
Happy 80th Birthday, Eric!
Animals knew how to rock! Eric Burton another king of rock! 💐🦜💐🦜
This song is like fine wine, the older the better.
I have always liked this dude. Cool s hit
The Coolest
When I was young ,at 18 I was fighting for my life and my brothers around me , in a far away place called Viet Nam .
Love the Animals
I'm so in love and obsessed with Eric and the animals too awesome
Don't get much better than that
Best male vocalist that I have ever seen live hands down. And I've seen Mercury, Plant, Jagger, Meatloaf, Marriott, Cummings to name a few of the more memorable ones that I can remember
Love this song! And that line in the last verse is pithy: "I was so much older then, when I was young..." I get that in a way that I can't put into words.
I felt the same way but now that I am older it makes a lot more sense. 👍
Gives me goosebumps.
EVERYTIME
Eric Burdons Stimme ist fantastisch, und der Band gelingt es in nahezu jedem Lied, eine mitreißende "Spannung" auszudrücken!
I was 15 in 67 and lived in Hollywood ,Calif spent most weekends on the Sunset Strip,great times lots of trips#i,d sit outside the Whiskey a GoGo and could hear the Doors ,LOVE etc playing inside ,my family still live there i,m living in the UK Love to all.
Back then, The Animals were the "bad boys" of rock n' roll...still loved today..wish I could go back and live those days..
I was there, sacred times when people were real.
So do l.
Best voice in Rock and roll.
Basically EB sang as if he actually understood and meant the song , even experienced the song content personnaly
They could write such profound, deep songs back then and they were young. Amazing how that happens
There are not many singers so intense... Eric Burdon is a top contender !
True
legend upon legend. I was not even a teen when my brother used to play their songs and we grooved.
3 later still there
The best singer in the old days!
My favorite 60's British band. Then the Moody Blues. I bought an album in small town Ontario called the Best of the British. Had House of the Rising Sun and We Gotta Get Out of This Place. Yep.🤔⏳⏳😪
I swear, there's something about Eric that just makes him mesmerizing to watch. I'm captivated by him. There's an intensity, yet also a bit of a cool detachment about him when he performs. Wish I had been alive in the 60s. Sigh. :)
When I was 15 years old and The Animals had not long recorded House of the Rising Sun, they played at Wilton Hall in Bletchley, England. I was still at school and we got to the hall early and The Animals had to wait for the caretaker of the hall to let them in. Later we saw Eric and some others come out and I asked where they were going and he said to the pub. I asked if we could go with them and he said ok (we looked older, but he was just being nice because we were fans and he was polite). I was thinking just wait till I go to school on Monday and tell everyone I went to the pub with The Animals. Unfortunately two of the security men had followed them and told them to get back inside. Eric said "sorry girls, got to go back". I managed to get to the front of the stage anyhow, and he was absolutely fantastic. Certainly a great time to be young and English. Saw The Beatles 3 times and shook their hands at Wimbledon Palais in London in 1964 fan club convention. Sat on a stage with the Rolling Stones too. Happy days and happy memories!
Eric Burdon legend forever!!!
Absolutely adore the Man. These songs got me thru some very hard times, still do
Thank you,Eric,and the Animals.Truely inspiring music!
These guys were ahead of their time!!
I was 10 in 1967 never knew him I was in a home for children. But f I love him.
My Birthday is today!
This song came out 54 years ago!
WOW!
Great Band in almost every song they came out with. Sincere! To the MAX!
This song brings back memories ,i didn't even have being born in 66, wow! Eric Burdon has such a soulful voice!
Thank God that I had the chance to see Burton once live... One of the greatest voices greatest performers of all time.
Eric Burdon WOW!! Best Vocalist of all time by far!!! His voice One-in-a-Million is just amazing, powerful deep, raunchy and SEXY...turns me on every time💋
Woah, slow down there.
I was young when I first heard this, 64 now👍
Me too!
turning 68 tomorrow
Vicki Silvius
Happy Birthday!
Nothing can bring back memories better,than a song which he was once connected with.
"I was so much older then...when I was young"
This song haunted me then as it does even to this day.
Me too Andy. The lyrics hit me perfectly. In my senior year of high school me and one of my best friends, Fred Mayfield wrote a paper on this song and got an 'A' . One of the only A's I got in English
My faith was so much stronger then, I believed in Fellowmen, When I Was Young,,,,,!!!
