now i know how the black blues players felt listening to a bunch of british white kids sing their blues songs. sorta. but yeah, i'd like to see those guys anywhere near "tobacco road" or anywhere like it. despite how good the song is, it seems silly to me now.
Eric definitely invented super cool, when l was 4 or 5 ,when l used to hear those Animals songs play on the radio while my mom was doin house work ,l didn't think there was a D J playin records ,l thought it was one cool party goin on ,with a big stage , and performer after performer would step up to the microphone ,one after the other , all day ,every day , and I thought Eric Burden was the coolest of them all , the one i wanted to meet ,the one l wanted to be ,crazy huh...
This is from 1967. As a 13 year-old I got to see Eric & The Animals on this tour at Drew University in New Jersey. Eric's drummer at the time was Barry Jenkins, of Nashville Teens fame. They had the British hit with Tobacco Road in 1964. Near the end of the Drew concert, a bunch of girls rushed the stage and grabbed hold of Eric's legs. Eric squirmed loose - down came the curtain - and that was it.
@GiantDoucheNG By todays standards, You'd be right. Back in 1974, People were just starting to get that Rock'n'Roll came out of Black artists, who were getting ripped off 4 their songs, music, rhythms. When prominent white bands & players like Clapton, Blues Breakers, Canned Heat,Q Quick Silver, The Stones Zepplin, came up playiing Blues,it helped many Black Artists who were almost obscure gain notice,and come into their own. The white players threw racism aside, and raised awareness.
@MegaSkoalBandit7195 Dude, tabs for that solo won't help. For one, what he is playing is extremely simple... 'Blues 101.' The notes,(scale) primarily the pentatonic scale, are openly available. Skype me, I'll show you. Easy as can be. What is NOT EASY, is the FEEL, the TOUCH, his Vibrato, Tone.. All that is found in, Yes, The Blues. That guy is playing STRAIGHT BLUES, thats all. Tabs, on a Blues? Don't insult yourself, or the Blues. If interested, Don't copy it, learn what it is.
Did you notice the other guitar player with the Strat? Looked like the guy from Dave Clark 5; Sure does sound like EC; perhaps was the same guy who solo-ed during "Sky Pilot" ca. 1967; I think these were "Eric Burdon and the New Animals" after Chas Chandler left to produce Hendrix; hope someone can get the real story; anyway, sounds great all around, no?
Keep in mind that access to all these bands did not exist in the decade of the 60s, as it does now thanks to the internet. Parents were not likely to allow their children to go to concerts unless they were in their mid-teens. I was 10 & 11 when The Beatles came to Milwaukee and were not able to go see them. We had to rely on the few TV shows that featured the 'big' name bands occasionally. Now we have access to shows from all over the world that we didn't know were even happening!
You can find good music today. But it competes with corporate driven junk food music on par with MacDonalds.
In early rock and roll a garage band could pony up some cash, cut a record, get airplay on the radio, and then seduced listeners with their unique sound and raw talent.
Today, corporate analysts back whatever CD sells in the shortest amount of time, confident that the ever changing (and spending) audience of young listeners lack a historical perspective on what real music is.
@radioactive1111 John is closet to Eric and Vic Briggs is the other guitarist. It was through Jimi that Vic and John found themselves in Eric's band. Vic's dad lead troops on Omaha beach in WWII. That's Vic on the strat.
We're doing pretty good folks, only 29 soulless retards, with no sense of music, out of 1,143,690 people. Probably some religious fanatics from somewhere like BFE.
STOP comparing them to the Stones and Beatles. All these bands were great, but DIFFERENT. I was there , and buying ALL their music then. Do kids only buy music from one band now, and rubbish all others ? Nothing much has changed except the style of music. Too much analysis here. We were just teenagers who liked the sounds, and often not even listening to the lyrics or the message, if there was one. More the 'atmosphere' and spirit of the songs, depending on changeable teenage mood.
@grahamw56 nobody cares if you were there or when you bought their music dude. you say that u were there like it makes you a final authority on the music.. let people have whatever opinions they want.. everyone knows the bands are different but in order to deduce that they are different you have to compare them...right? there are definitely similarities amongst the bands in the British invasion and that isn't necessarily a bad thing, what the animals do different is just what makes them so great
@thomas221100 Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought I was just expressing an opinion...just as you are. Yes, I was 'there'. They were a band local to me. Sorry, can't change that for you. :)
@grahamw56 maybe you and your friends didn't pay attention to the lyrics and analyze them, but a lot of people did, especially when it came to Bob Dylan and The Beatles. Lennon actually wrote "Glass Onion" to confuse and poke fun at all the people who were over analyzing their lyrics and looking for hidden messages.
I'm not an old fart but I remeber as a child listening to it on Frday nights from across the water. It sounded unreal!!!!!!!!!!! I was young and never realized until now that he was into blues. He is is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How could someone listen to this and not have an orgasm??! Eric Burdon was the best wailer of ALL TIME!! Legend has it that he spent about several months in the Mississippi Delta, birthplace of the blues, to learn how it's done. I think he learned just fine.
I really hate all these people who think that music should have stayed like this forever, don't get me wrong, I think this is one of most beautiful songs I've heard in a while, but I can still appreciate that Lady Gaga's music touches her audience in a way similar to the way this touches me. I can still appreciate that Justin Bieber has something to offer his audiences, and that is apparently enjoyable music for a lot of people. Let modern music alone.

I was 18-25 in the 60's ......I wish we had You tube then. About 90% of these clips that you see were never seen by us (in Canada at least). I played in bands then and it was a great time to grow up. We had limited TV and no video recorders or players either. Its great to be able to see the old bands in their prime.
Right on , I'm an old fart of 64 , it was great to be around when this music was introduced.. What a buzz !! Didn't need grass or any drugs to enjoy this ....
What's noteworthy about this tune- Eric Burden re-did this song later on, when he was with War . Another fantastc version of this tune in which Eric brings the house down with his epic feel and voice. For those of you that never heard this version with War, youtube's got it, go check it out !
Check out the original blues singers- leadbelly- billie holliday (spelling?), muddy waters.... Rock is derived from a combination of jazz/r&B/classsical... no kidding
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh my God, what is it? After all, this is terrible, even frightening. Murdering this track amazing. Jefferson Airplane version is much, much better. It has neither an original climate. I understand that anyone can record covers, but whether it should?
@xsellsbrod You're right, it is different. It's different from other versions of this song. Do not change the fact that this version I do not like. I've heard much better.
'Tobacco Road...I Had A Dream'...11 minutes of eargasm from the 'Eric Burdon Declares War' album.....God I love it!!...Eric's most masterful vocal tour de force ever ever ever....immediately followed by 'Spill the Wine'....you gotta love it!
@strongarmeric Couldn't agree with you more. I don't know what happened, but from the 80's on, music just went straight downhill to the present where you have ex-pimps, drug dealers and other zero talent low-lifes screaming grade school rhymes peppered with profanity and actually making money! The ultimate scam: (c)rap...don't need to play an instrument, don't need to have a voice, don't need to be able to write music, don't need any talent. Unbelievable!!!
Love Eric Burdon's voice! In today's music all we have is 'filler music' they are all songs to fill the spot on the radio till the next song comes out and in a month you forget the song. This is good music.
This version is very close (as in slow, but with added solos) to the version by the author, JD Loudermilk. My other favorite versions are The Nashville Teens and The Blues Magoos.
I agree they were great to see live in 1983. I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in London that year. It was the original 5 members of the group, and they played just as well live as on record. In my experience, a lot of groups don't. But the Animals were excellent, and that concert stands out in my memory as one of a handful among hundreds that were absolutely brilliant. Haven't heard this rendition of Tobacco Road before, but saw Nashville Teens play it live 3 times. Another great group.
@Thepast2012 I I wouldn't classify this as R&B. As a blues drummer (I've been playin professionally since the 60's) I would say this is pure blues, man. WE play this number in my present band and it has all the elements of Blues. A shuffle beat, 6/8, 12/8 feel all the way through. I WAS 18-25 in the 60's, dude!

Oh my God, what is it? After all, this is terrible, even frightening. Murdering this track amazing. Jefferson Airplane version is much, much better. It has neither an original climate. I understand that anyone can record covers, but whether it should?

@xsellsbrod You're right, it is different. It's different from other versions of this song. Do not change the fact that this version I do not like. I've heard much better.

@JTAqualung I'd agree, My Vote would go towards Paul Revere and The Raiders cover of this song.

@strongarmeric Couldn't agree with you more. I don't know what happened, but from the 80's on, music just went straight downhill to the present where you have ex-pimps, drug dealers and other zero talent low-lifes screaming grade school rhymes peppered with profanity and actually making money! The ultimate scam: (c)rap...don't need to play an instrument, don't need to have a voice, don't need to be able to write music, don't need any talent. Unbelievable!!!

Into the dump when his mother died and his daddy got drunk right on down to the rusty shack on tobacco road.

this is fantastic and classical, but I tend to sway towards Eric Burdon & War...

Love Eric Burdon's voice! In today's music all we have is 'filler music' they are all songs to fill the spot on the radio till the next song comes out and in a month you forget the song. This is good music.

This version is very close (as in slow, but with added solos) to the version by the author, JD Loudermilk. My other favorite versions are The Nashville Teens and The Blues Magoos.

I agree they were great to see live in 1983. I saw them at the Royal Albert Hall in London that year. It was the original 5 members of the group, and they played just as well live as on record. In my experience, a lot of groups don't. But the Animals were excellent, and that concert stands out in my memory as one of a handful among hundreds that were absolutely brilliant. Haven't heard this rendition of Tobacco Road before, but saw Nashville Teens play it live 3 times. Another great group.

Saw the original Animals on tour a couple of years ago, but without Eric its like the Beatles without Lennon.
Fact is good music and pure talent L A S T S.

@Thepast2012 I I wouldn't classify this as R&B. As a blues drummer (I've been playin professionally since the 60's) I would say this is pure blues, man. WE play this number in my present band and it has all the elements of Blues. A shuffle beat, 6/8, 12/8 feel all the way through. I WAS 18-25 in the 60's, dude!
