meine erste platte von eric hatte ich mit 13 jahren- er war der coolste und hatte einen wahnsinnsgroove in der stimme. heute bin ich 50 jshre alt und liebe seine musik noch immer. eric ist einer der allerbesten!
I find it interesting! The melody is still lovely, even in Reggae and Flamingco style. Eric Burdon was always an iconoclast and a bit AD/HD, too. Would have been bored with a song he had played a thousand times or more. Go for it! I'm shocked how white his hair became. The Animals sure had a lot of great songs .I counted 20 in their first YouTube page. Is that woman the lady from that commercial in the luthier shop? ("I didn't know you could play! I didn't either!")
It's great! The man is refusing to get old -- if he won't get petrified into one reading of the song why should you? Those one of a kind phrasings are still pouring out of him like water -- such a top-flight natural he is and always has been, he can do whatever he wants.
first of all,it's not HIS OWN SONG,it's a Nina Simone...and when redoing sb elses stuff,I think you have the freedom to do what you want to it,jazz musicians do it all the time.If you want the exact orig. recording,just listen to the record over and over...
I'm actually impressed with this performance. Energy changes over time as you age. His prime was a long time ago. At least it is not as bad as The Who during the super bowl a couple years ago. I wept that day. My favorite band without any doubt is The Beatles. Watching Paul McCartney now though can be painful sometimes. They have to be given props though for still performing in there much later years. We are lucky that we can at least see them in this day in age. Someday we won't.
Nice version! I prefer his original but it's nice that he changed it. He's got a great voice no matter what. Love the Spanish guitar. It makes it unique.
First this isn't "his" song... Nina Simone did it first. Secondly... WTF is wrong with you?! This is a great version!!!! Fresh! Eric is Great as he has been from the beginning!
I liked the earlier version better but this one actually has his feelings in it more, I think. The tempo is slower, and I like a little faster tempo, but the music quality is much improved as far as the musicians accompanying him. The Spanish guitar is interesting.
I'm a huge fan of his earlier work...nobody can take that away. But, at this point he's pretty much a novelty act. It's like watching ozzy play. It's cool to remain in the public eye, but at some point you have to let go. Nicely done by the guitar player, shreds the acoustic but doesn't overdo it. (go ahead with the thumbs down, I know it's coming)
is this how he sounds now? i mean the music, cause they'er coming out to my work here soon and i would like to see him. this is stuff i grew up on, my dad was a huge fan and though it sound good i think it would kill it for me if they played like this if i buy tickets for the show.
just saying I mean i was four when i first heard this on vinyl............not the same as this
Nothing wrong with this version whatsoever. Performed flawlessly. A little change is good som,ethimes. I've heard him do this starting out like this and then going into the original version. It's great no matter what.
@tdittyx2x3 That's why i said what i said...he murdered his own song! THE BAD WAY! The original version of the song up to date...is ORIGINAL and fresh...why would he do this?!
@thehornypuppy The man's TOP SHELF, he's got the soul to take any song where he wants it to go. I just enjoy and absorb. Never question change, roll with it in a loving embrace! Rock on Eric!
@thehornypuppy Artists of any genre constantly re-create, revise, etc. It's a creative process that will go stagnant otherwise. I'll agree that this version is totally different than the one we are used to hearing, but by keeping an open mind one can still appreciate something new. Different does not necessarily mean bad.
a great song by a great singer, a rock n roll hall of fame inductee. He is 66 years old in this concert and sounds as good as he did 40 years ago, a true legend, may God give you health so we,ll keep enjoying your music
Excellent development of a classical piece. Elvis Costello makes a pretty good version as well... The original is always the original, but still.. if it doesn't evolve, it dies.. btw: who's the guy on the piano/synth/organ?
Simply beautiful... simply amazing! Too many artists have "covered" this song... but I like this version more than anything I have heard so far. I also like it 100 times more than the original.
Nice version..., Flamenco flair with some Reggae groove..., love the way he responds to the feedback (about 2:38 into the clip); "What the Hell was that?" Too Funny!! ; )
en iyisi nina söylemiş başkasını tanımam. Sırf bu şarkıyı katlettiği için bunu taksim meydanında çingeneler siktirecen götoğlanı hala söylemeye devam ediyo at yarrağı hadi yorum bitti.
I love nina simones song "feeling good" but the animals version of this song is best. It seems Eric Burdon has sung this song so many times hes looking for other ways to sing it
@itsaguinness R you kiddin? He sure is...but it's the best i've ever heard. That guy on the guitar...with the dreadlocks...he's so good on that thing....he's got to be a hot lover too.
I heard that! Kind of woman I'd love to get to know better. On a different note entirely, the guy with the dreadlocks plays a badass Flamenco. As for Eric, I couldn't recognize him except for his distinctive voice. Until I heard him, I was in doubt it was him.
Gosh what a terrible version of the original and that's coming from an Animals fan. Time has not been kind to Eric Burdon's vocal chords. He knows it. That's why he performs this version which is not nearly as taxing on his voice.
@icegirl71388: The Beatles were a Fad (face it, they lost their credability around 1968)... E.B. was, and is, a foundation stone in the Rock&Roll Castle ... the Beatles altered and experimented while E.B. Perfected ... I am glad I caught the Beatles when they were still relevent (I was a fan back in the day) but I am gladder still that E.B. is still a working class Rocker (and so much more) ... The Animals were always better than the Beatles both artistically and viscerally.
@TheJascal Nina Simone is the original writer and vocalist. She is excellent compared to this guy...what was he doing?? I mean it's not that bad but the soul Nina brought and gave while she sang it is so absent with this guy.
@J200717 Thanks for the heads up on Nina, a great performance. While reading the wiki on her and then the song, apparently it was written by others for her to sing. To quote the wiki:
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a song written by Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus for the singer/pianist Nina Simone, who first recorded it in 1964.
The soulful rendition by her is undeniably good, but Eric may have 'taken the tune away' like Johnny Cash did with many of his recordings.
@TheJascal Thank you for the heads up! I had no clue she wasn't the writer, I just assumed...(never assume). Lol @ the 'taken the tune away' statement. I have a thing about people doing over the original versions of songs, especially if it doesn't need to be tampered with. Originality is beautiful you know. I'm not saying you don't have some artists who do really great renditions of originals because there are some really great ones. I like his voice though, it's really unique.
@J200717 "this guy" is Eric Burdon, one of the best male rock singers of all time. The Animals, and later on, War. Show some respect. I also like Nina Simone's version. The thing is, he has to perform this song so many times, maybe he just doesn't feel it so much anymore... The studio version by the animals has a lot of feeling too...
To the two geniuses, LOBOFETT and CAERRRR, if you took the time to read about this fine entertainer Eric Burton, you would find that he loves JAZZ. And, his music has that Jazz flavor with his old hits from so many moons ago. Educate yourselves, READ.
So happy when i found a 45 of this and house of the rising sun on the other side!

@J200717 "this guy" is Eric Burdon, one of the best male rock singers of all time. The Animals, and later on, War. Show some respect. I also like Nina Simone's version. The thing is, he has to perform this song so many times, maybe he just doesn't feel it so much anymore... The studio version by the animals has a lot of feeling too...

To the two geniuses, LOBOFETT and CAERRRR, if you took the time to read about this fine entertainer Eric Burton, you would find that he loves JAZZ. And, his music has that Jazz flavor with his old hits from so many moons ago. Educate yourselves, READ.
