[giseba7]

[cristinga]

[jpdel31]

Thanks!

[CreatORder]

CO-CO-COCAINE lol

[sheim1]

This is not Eric, its Denis Quaid Blacked out drunk on karaoke night

[imprettystoned]

Someone had a GREAT TIME!!!!! GREAT VERSION!!!!

[PiperShaeBong]

guitar work is brilliant !!!!

[jump3kiwi]

is he high?

[Angusgibb]

haha fuck yea, is fucking ripped

[laberlaban]

Maybe he's high, but probaly pissed out of his scull on Jack Daniels. I've seen him on tv enter the stage with half a bottle of Jack, being very pissed already and sinkin' the botte during the concert. A few years back my son and I saw him here and he entered stage with only a tiny plasticglass with Gammel Dansk - a lokal bitter... Good on you, Eric! It was a great gig with a monster drummer, don't know his name, what a drumsolo! Do it again, Eric and band, we love you! :oD

[BennyTheGun]

@jump3kiwi ^^ sure he´s high SURE DUDE^^ its Eric!! he "is" was real acid brilliant head!!! PeAcE DuDe ;-)

[Riesling1979]

Da sieht man was pure Leidenschaft zur Musik auslösen kann. Er ist mit Sicherheit kein Genie, dafür ein genialer Vollblutmsänger mit vielen Höhen und Tiefen. Schön dass er da ist!

[pilesovinyl]

He performs it well now, and he performed it extremely well in 65, but this performance was crap. I love Burdon but he butchered his own classic and took the feel out of it. The end was sorta okay, but Eric you can sing it so much better. Check out his recent solo album "Portrait of A Man"-its a good listen..

[deathwishone]

best voice in rock

[bjmcfarland]

Mr. Eric Burdon Still looks as if he has not aged much and his voice is still there

[tatethompson1234]

yeah i like burdon in the 70s better when his voice was cracking and he really could hit those high notes,but all that strain trying to get them made his voice age quicker

[waaha13]

eh this is from 1976 yohan

[lp32862]

The bad thing about the mid 70's the clothing sucked! But his voice was kinda still there. I think?

[grodriq]

What a powerful voice!

[tubephobia]

Brilliant !

Thanks.

[highstrung78357]

Eric you are the best!

[clydejewelers]

That is awesome greatness.

Nothing compares now.

These artists did not have digital or analog for a fake lyp-synch performance

Remember the 1960's

[skeptyky]

ERIC LA CLASSE ,MAIS " les pattes d'eph",comme on disait ,j'en portait un noir avec trois bouton doré en bas ; le bon temps c'était quand,en 68 bien sur !!

[Jmeister109]

u can tell the guitar player has some jazz backround buts hes good

[whackedoutwilly]

crystal,back in those days-maybe maybe not-got some lungs left too-i dont !!

[06lida94]

he trys to sing "you" to high he must have killed his throat poor guy

[railcar123]

Oh yeah...great band too! Great improv.

[railcar123]

He kicks MF ass!!!

[tbcass]

Great except there's no bass player. Organ pedal bass is a poor substitute for a bass guitar, esp in a funky number like this. I'm a bass player :-)

[mortitai]

in this performance the drugs (probably cocaine or amfetamine) speaks/ sings for him ;)

[HiggyVasquez]

dam those guys killed that, nice post!

[travishartley]

im liking 1965

[pisces3651]

check out his basket!

[yellbee623]

i am new 2 this music. like the older stuff. seems as if he started 2 destroy himself when he got fame. u got fame. who can u trust. a manager? your family?

[JulianThomePictures]

Great!!!

[sheim1]

hahah are you sure this isnt Dennis Quaid blacked out at karaoke night?

[clockworkavj]

Hah, I've been watching Animals-related videos all night, and this is the first comment that actually made me laugh. Kudos.

[clockworkavj]

I hate that comments don't show up as replies, even when using the reply link. That was directed at sheim1.

[CarollJeanne]

We're all getting out of this place. CG

[BFDeihl]

Aggg.. Eric REALLY must have been hard up back then, to crap all over his earlier efforts with a "budget Chick Corea style" ripoff.. Compared with the Animals-era version, this is ipecac...

[hollywoodartchick]

Yeah, it is not my favorite Eric sound either. Lots of artists in that era were wrecking their act by overdoing it. At least he did not have backup singers.

[posthumanhero]

i think he was just growing......and the present, while including some of the past, was more important.......rock shouldn't be so stringent (in my opinion).

[JulianThomePictures]

We need more videos of Eric. This makes my day!!

[tateicus]

please put house of the rising sun back on!!!!!! it was my fav version

[captaintanuki]

Check out Robert Ahwai - Guitar ! Fantastic !

[JulianThomePictures]

What he's doing today??

[Seffrid]

Mike and Ian Carr came from Newcastle where if I remember right they played with Eric Burdon in the early pre-Animals days. Mike would have been an obvious choice for keyboard player in '76 when I'm guessing his stint with Bobby Gien (from South Africa) in the Ronnie Scott Trio would have ended. Mike's long been the foremost jazz organist in the country with an incredible pedal technique - check him out here on YouTube!

[countryjoeohnefish]

Mann war der Gute da breit ;o).

Hat er eigentlich nur gesoffen, oder auch noch anderes Zeug genascht?

Den Text hat er ja garnicht mehr so hingekriegt, wie das geplant war.

[overdue3]

What?

[JulianThomePictures]

Aber ne Hammer Stimme hat er trotzdem!!

[overdue3]

so what's the story then?

[overdue3]

and after you tell us why he is completely intoxicated, maybe you can explain what the hell is happening between 3:48-4:00?

[snusmumriken3]

LOL!!! ;-D

[JulianThomePictures]

Eric Burdon was often drunk. This is no shame! I know a little bit of the story, why he was.

[rokchikin]

Do Tell Why?In the 60's it was socially acceptable now it,s frowned apawn! SP oopes

[JulianThomePictures]

In 1970 Jimi Hendrix died, that was terrible for Burdon. He drunk more and more. Read his Autobiography!

[RedJudy]

drunk

[molestik]

Thanks Steve for your clarification about the (great) musician on the keyboards, i didn't know he was the brother of Ian.

[stevearcher2000]

That's MIKE CARR on the keyboards, not Ian - who is Mike's elder brother....But what a great track! Various other numbers from this 1976 Rockpalast session are now up on YouTube.

[magusmagic]

Eric sounding great (as ever) and also looking SO good here too PHEW! What a treat this video is. Thanks for sharing, made my day!
