  • check out grand funk railroad's studio version.. it is insane

  • Great live performance, I really like the drumming and the lead guitar work (and the keyboards); regards and thanks for uploading this.

  • This is a fantastic song -- I first heard it as Grand Funk Railroad's cover version and I've come to appreciate the original. I can't help thinking they couldn't possibly have gotten paid enough to wear those suits however.

  • My favorite song he sings ever!!!!!!

  • the good old days when it was ok to say "hey we all have to wear the same thing"

  • Nice suits!

  • I love this track. If ever there was a Blues singer who could make you feel the cold, damp, dark and near poverty of the English North, it was Eric. You are #1 Eric, and he was quite the handsome lad, too. In American English, it's "HOT". xxx

  • @GarageRockChannel Roger that matey!

  • Where is Chas?? Can't hear his bass on here!! : ( Those lame Sullivan boys(I believe this was on Sullivan right?)...didn't turn him up enough!!

  • @Philmod68 yeah, a fault somewhere, shame about the lack of bass but still a kick-ass performance. Did you notice at 1:24 Eric glances over to Chas when he realises something is wrong, he also sings that they aint got no bass at 3:10 : )

  • @magusmagic6 Great observations there Magus!! Yeah..thats sooo funny that he said "it will be alright even if we have NO bass!!" hahaha!! Very cool! And yes...despite the screw up with the bass...AWESOME performance! Love that its basically the original line-up(though without Alan)...which I always felt was the best version of the Animals...

  • camisa xadrez continua na moda.

  • Wow!! I thought this was a Grand Funk Railroad song....

  • Love this song! And this performance! <3

  • very sexy

  • pure 'lovely'!

  • Thanks magusmagic6 for posting this lesser know Animals song. I was fortunate that my mother often played her Animals greatest hits album that covered the early part of their career, and later in high school, I ended up getting two greatest hits albums that covered their mid 60s era.

  • grand funk lo llevo al siguiente nivel!!

  • rock'n roll for reel!!!!!!

  • How did he get away with saying "reefer" in 66'? Apparently no one knew what he was really talking about! GFR redid this song heavier. Both are great!

  • I love The Animals!!! THIS IS MUSIC!!! Awesome and perfect!!!

  • The Animals were the Beatles ugly alter-ego.

  • Love this song....great sound and he fit in even if we don't have any base right now...guess there was a technical glitch but didn't matter it's great just the way it is

  • @HendrixApproved I agree, pure professional, did not miss a beat!

  • Es mejor la version de Grand Funk.

  • Singer Burdon adlibs "even though we got no bass everything's gonna be allright" near the end because bass player Chas Chandler's bass is amp is not working. I noticed this immediately and it takes away from the power of the tune. Great clip though...I've never seen them do this track live. I've got the original 45 RPM on MGM records and it is one of the first really heavy tunes I ever heard. The power, dynamics, and overall sonic power of he track when played on good unit or phones is awesome.

  • Great arrangement. Intense. Dig the outfits!

  • aaa q son buenos estos locos !!

  • We need more 'raw' blues based music like this

    Good track - but wtf happened to the bass ? Bass player must have been fuming

  • Comment removed

  • This is a good song, but Grand Funk does it and takes it to the next level.

  • how do you upload the Grand Funk Railroad (live 1969) version of this song as a video response on here?

  • @bkrbyex4339 I'm sure you can make video responses if it is one of your video's. so if you used a hypercam and recorded the video then uploaded it to your youtube channel, then you could make a video response.

  • @CKS5000 what is a hypercam? can you copy codes from clipboard like on to myspace?

  • @bkrbyex4339 U ever seen a video of ppl showing you how to do something like how to download music for free. They use a program like hypercam and it records what they are doing on the monitor. I like watching tutorials say on DAW's(Digital Audio Workstation) and then i do exactly what they do. Basically it acts like a microphone and records everything(it see's) on the screen.

  • correction: i was nine years old, and my boyfriend was two, when this song came out...... he wants to know who originally wrote the lyrics to this song?

  • When Eric cries "Please!" at 1:13, I think my heart momentarily stops beating.

  • The uniforms didn't suit them...they soon got rid of them..one of the best bands of the 60's and Eric went on to better things.

  • Baby Please Don't Go...sorry wrong guys.

  • Someone told me that Alan Parsons played keyboards for the Animals. Yes or no?...anybody?

  • @bleedinblues1 NO. it was Alan Price and then Dave Rowberry.

  • Woah, this is The Animals? I heard the Grand Funk Railroad version first, that ones way better, too. Animals are still good, though.

  • 3:07 even tho we ain't got no bass

    Poor Chas...

    His amp let him down

  • Tonight, there are 50 young people enjoying

    this, and I find that fantastic. Let the party go forever.

  • Απίστευτο

    

  • This was Eric's best period--he was incredible!

  • I adore Animals!

  • Grand Funk Railroad did a great cover of this in 1969 on their second album.

  • He looks like Mark Wahlberg

  • i was thinking this was a grand funk song,,,,now its even better to know is a classic from t animals..!!!erick rules..!!

  • Wonderful - Amazing - Great - Awesome !!!

  • no one more bad ass than these guys ! Newcastle punks ! right on !

  • Will somebody PLEASE turn Chas's amp on before he breaks a string trying to be heard !!

  • Will somebody PLEASE turn Chas's amp on before he breaks a string trying to be heard !!

  • i like grand funk ver a lot

  • i was just 5 years old then haha

  • @MrJohnthegreat22 I wasnt even born then :D

  • @Miss96Music i was six years old my boyfriend was only two or three, when this song came out.

  • This is heavy and brutal, Grand Funk's version is heavy and brutal. What could a song want more from his life?

  • This is Hendrix approved

  • Anybody know what show this is from?

  • 3:13 the guitar begun to be brutally out of tune :D

  • Merci!

  • heart of a rocker with blues in his blood and you get that incrediable sound of eric.

  • fantastic band...

  • This is what we used to call Psychedelic Rock.

  • @LameBuffalo naw he didn't go for psychedelic untill i think it was his third album "the twain shall meet" spill wine came from that album.

  • This vers. Gets me goosepumps!

  • Grand Funk Railroad had a big hard work to improve a song that already a powerful song.

    The weight crossed the Atlantic.

  • @mrjohn1964 But they did improve on it!

  • This one takes me back. A little obscure in the era of the Animals but still a memorable one.----Danny Sordello

  • @etowmom Hi how r u? long time no hear, still lusting after Hilton I see... ;-) not that I blame you!

    Hilton did an interview recently with The BEAT Magazine (July 2011) he said that Inside Looking Out is his favourite Animals track! Did you know he's also got a new cd out called 'Skiffledog on Coburg St' recorded with his band 'Skiffledog', it's great! I got a signed copy, can be ordered from hiltonvalentine(dot)com & other outlets :)

  • @magusmagic6 Hi Magus miss talking to you! Yep I'll be a Hilton fan forever! along with the other greats including Eric. This is absolutely my fav track too! Thats great you got a SIGNED copy fo his album, I would love to see him in person hopefully someday!

  • great band here... but this song belongs to mark farner!!

  • As good as this is, Grand Funk Railroad's cover of it is way better.

  • Sexy as hell

  • Great song! Great band!

  • Spend my time makin' up; Nickle Bags!!! This is awesome, so is Mark Farner's version! Hot, raw and heavy 70's born from this...Love it!

  • @ForReelFunk For shizzie yes! Totally in agreement.

  • I had No idea THEY did this song Who wrote it ... I always thought it was Grand Funk & only them. Well I mean I cover it , but thats a different matter....

  • @bydeffinition according to wikipedia it was written by Eric Burdon, A. Lomax , J Lomax and Chandler. This is the original.....

  • Maybe the Door's sound like the Animals -LOL-----One time on VH-1's My Generation --Robby Krieger said" The Door's wanted to be like the Animals----But Jim Morrison and Eric have different styles-0-- so do Alan Price and Ray Manzarek--Both great groups--!!

  • i raped the play button

  • there is an essence of MUSE in this song :)

  • ERIC BURDON YOUR'E STILL THE NUMBER ONE EVER EVER EVER

  • Love this song!! Great!

  • sounds like the doors

    

  • @kukaracha but better.

  • Nobody writes stuff like this anymore. Power vocals.

  • worst outfits ive ever seen

    

  • AAAAARRRGHH!!!!! YES! YES! YES!

    OH WELL DONE MATE PUTTING THIS UP! I'VE LOOKED LOADS & LOADS OF TIMES ON YOUTUBE TO FIND A PERFORMANCE, LIP-SYNC, MIME, ANYTHING..

    NOW THERES THIS!!!! BRILLIANT THANKYOU!

    I GOT INTO MUSIC KINDA SIDEWAYS WHEN I WAS 12 OR 13, IT WAS 1980'S & I REALLY TRIED BUT MUSIC WAS SHIIIITE!

    I FOUND THIS ON A SCRATCHY DECCA 45 SINGLE IN A CHARITY SHOP. 10p. GOT HOME, PUT IT ON, TURNED UP... BLEW ME BLOODY HEAD OFF! GREAT! A FAVOURITE EVER SINCE!

  • Good old Chas - professional to the last, still playing his bass even though there's no sound coming out. Love the look he throws at (presumably) the sound man @ 2.22. RIP, Big Fella

  • I knew the version of Grand Funk...I didn't know that this one was the original!!!!!!!!!!Wow....:))

  • Eric Burdon is the coolest cat ever! I can dig it!

  • this makes me horny

  • Great finale to a very dark song that should be a little bit better known that what it is. My favourite Animals track.

  • hate to say it but it is better then the GFR version

  • This is amazing, thanks my friend for post this video.

    Awesome.

  • Grand Funk Railroad is playing this song also very nice.

  • Check out Dan Auerbach's cover. Scary good.

  • On the 45 released in '66 it states that Inside Looking Out was derived from "Rosie"which was credited to A & J Lomax.But I suspect they got it from an old blues song; perhaps "Leadbelly".

  • I thought Grand Funk Railroad did this song first...surprise surprise.

  • damn at first i didn't like the animals. but now i think they're fucking awesome

  • I actually seen the Animals live at a concert in 66. They were awesome. Chas had a string break while playing House of Rising Sun but the Animals handle it seamless.

    The lights dimmed and Hilton played an guitar solo of House of the Rising Sun until Chas replaced the string. I guess they didn't have spare guitars. Hilton more of a showmen in concert than what these videos show.

  • Sing it baby!

  • love those Mod outfits

  • Oh Eric you are so sexy!

  • sexy

  • @tommyloika Uhuh, all of them

  • Uau. Huge performance

  • is this originally by the animals or grand funk??

  • @benjammin8807 The origins of the song go back a long way (start with John and Alan Lomax if you are truly interested) but, to answer your question, ir was first popularized by The Animals.

  • Any real rock band has a keyboard.

  • @blackeagle214 M.- F. (farner that is) played a mean hammond B3 with his (old) band Grand Funk

  • Great voice, sexy and soulful!

  • @nuvamusic

    agree

  • Thanks

  • nice suits.

  • This version is better than Grand Funk's. No white man has a more soulful voice than Eric!

  • I didn't even know the Animals did this tune!!!

  • Grand Funk did it better hands down!

  • @HomerHil23 grand funk was too sloppy people compared them to the cream when the cream played more than 3 instruments [bad time for being in love was ok though ].

  • With that voice, Eric could sing the phonebook and make it sound sexy.

  • @LedHeadTillDeath lol, so true!

  • Nothing (or almost nothing) is coming from Chas's guitar

  • Thanks for posting this . I remember thinking this song was just coolest thing I had ever heard . Nobody else was rocking this hard in '65. Not even the Stones(yet).

  • this song was covered by the obsessed

  • they made him hold back on the lyrics--just like The Stones on Ed Sullivan and Jim Morrison(well Jimmy told Ed where vto go)---but its still awesome and one of the songs that gave birth to great Rock-n-Roll

  • Thumbs up if you think this resembles The White Stripes.

  • is this '66 vid? really?

    just amazing quallity

  • Their suits are awesome!

  • @alpebo pfff... who do you think you are

  • Tan malos como siempre.

  • Niiiiiiceeeee!!!!

  • LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!

  • Rare, and - very kool! Regards, '62 Mathew St. (Total Retro Rock)

  • wow

  • They didn't keep the daggy uniforms for long!!

  • how TaLL was ERIC>? (5 feet)? id say (  the Guitar guy to the right looks REALL TALL

  • @flowers21xoxo I've seen Eric's height reported as both 5'5" and 5'7" I think Chas was about 6'4"

  • para mi fue uno de los grandes conjuntos de rockcon eric burdon a la cabeza gracias buen rock

  • Mind blowing ! absolute brilliance ! have this on original Decca single and gets no end of play! love it !

  • This tune chartered by the Animals before Eric Burdon and the Animals; a B-side on the 45 RPM.

  • Not only great performers but also knew talent when they spotted it.

    Chas Chandler took Jimi back to England after seeing him in a little club.

  • "Even though we've got no bass, everything's going to be alright!" Incredible. The augacity on live television. This is one of my all-time favorite Animals songs. This is extremely rare.  Thanks for sharing.

  • The Animals ROCK!!!!!!!

  • Yeah they were having a wee bit of troubles here... and it explains why this is a bit 'tamer' version than the studio cut. Great video thanks! :)

  • I love that Rickenbacker guitar

  • Dave Rowberry was a great addition on organ. I think he use to play a lowery organ.

  • love this song and this video and the performance and so much more and not to forget eric burdon!!! i am happy like a newborn child... :-)

  • @gioiaparigi in grand funk's version, mark farner uses those lines but puts in some Drug Related lyrics both sounds good.

  • The Animals = one of the best bands of all time!

  • another great interpretations from this band... what a voice.!

  • If I could have a voice to narrate my life, it'd be Eric's, no doubt. It's amazing.

  • What a voice.

  • a great band !

  • Oh My God! Hilton is too hot!

  • Incomparable

  • I think this song emerged hard rock.

  • @JulianThomePictures My thoughts exactly. The influence Eric had on many great musicians is quite remarkable. I discovered him not long ago, and I'm struck by his voice, his style, his performance... amazing!!

  • @QueenOfMaybe1 If you really think about it people like Little Richard were already kind of hard, and came out with the first rockers, I know it has a different sound, but him, and Jerry lee Lewis were pretty loud.

  • Comment removed

  • Julian, The Kinks too with 'You Really Got Me' (released August '64)

  • @magusmagic6 Definately the Kinks with "You really got me". That was the first hard rock song at least in the beat/rock era in the early sixties .

  • @theodorus45 love that kinks song!
