The Black Plague - Eric Burdon & The Animals

[Nickidemic]

beginning sounds like halo. just sayin.

[jdmfonte]

Eric's bio charts his Californiahood around this time. After seeing the Animals at the Armory in Tampa in 65, a difference as wide as Grand canyon is as obvious as Dracula gettin' Communion.

Max Brooks adds fuel to the horror.

We run around ON MINIMIZE to the DIZNEYGODS..

Occupy that, T shitys.

[topdog25608]

Bring out your dead.

[poshi12]

imagine this with zombies:]

VERY patchy album from 1967 which suffers from a lack of good original material and pretentious moments. 'Good Times' and 'San Franciscan Nights', the two singles being the exceptions

[JohannesFilipAndre]

can't wait to see Eric Burdon & The Animals this august :)

Up in the country side in norway

[marcfedak]

Thanks SixtiesMusicLover for posting this -- it reminds me of another great grim Gregorian chant influenced 60s song, "Still I'm Sad" by the Yardbirds.

[theegee1]

This is deep. I love anything and everything by Eric Burdon. Thank you for this. I just finished listening to "Winds of Change".

[bluejazz51]

This is not only about those who died from the black plaque. It's about hiding from death, and dying anyway. You can't hide from death. oooohhoohhhooooaahaaaahaaaa!

[bluejazz51]

This is from the album, WINDS OF CHANGE., one of my favorites.

[TheKenfig]

@bluejazz51 Aye, an tha Black Plague med it's weh down ta tha Metro Center in Gateshead an killed oll those poowa people down there

[zatoichi37]

for a second i thought this was about modern life in 2010

[arschlochausdeutschl]

just epic! 5*****

[bohe13]

WOW !!! wie geil, das lied such ich seit ca 25 jahren! endlich gefunden!!! jaaaa *SUPER*

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

This song sounds like it may of been written during the Plague. Even the audio portion, in particular, sounds like it was performed inside a graveyard as the buriels continue...sorry for such a comment but I Won't Be Back, to listen to this one again but instead will tune in "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" or "We Got To Get Out of This Place". ,,,do I make myself clear? Eric Burton is known for alot of good stuff, like "The House of the Rising Sun" & "Its My Life",so lets boogie! & Thx4postin

[sagehopper2006]

I remember this song..the Animals weren't afraid to break new paths in music..

[luv2rocit]

its about having the courage NOW to go outside the safe place and make a stand against the bad things happening outside your protected world. winds of change, remember in the 60s all the crap that was ( and still) goes on!

[BigCspud]

What a great song! Uncleannnnnn

[jimbot2007]

love Eric's voice!!! gives me chills.

[ripplestix5]

unleannnnnnnnnnn

[RogueWolf711]

Did some serious smoking to this.

[RogueWolf711]

Loved the Winds of Change Albumn, from which this song is featured. EXCELLENT

[BigCspud]

One of my all time favorites! I cannot remember the last time I heard it..Thanks; and the bell tolls on!

[hectoreduardo67]

Once upon a time radio played this song on friday at 3 o' clock when Jesus died. They told it was satanic.

[steicy133]

wow this is a great song and history lesson. it is just so sad to know what was happening in those times. its so scary to think that something like that would happen again someday...

[poshi12]

its crowd controll from mother earth.its an evil that must be.

[grgichhh]

great great song... used to listen to it with my friends when I was younger... brings back memories beautiful

[bighettym666]

is this based on the black death that killed millions of people in europe?

[SixtiesMusicLover]

I would think so.

[topdog25608]

@bighettym666 yes

[poodius7]

[vinylvend]

NICE! Have been a fan of this group for years, never heard this one though, thanks for posting!

[dafney7798]

...and monks moan en masse...!

[neduddgi]

Unique! Thanks!

[shestalou]

"Bring Out Your Dead", this sends chills down my spine, I love it!

[Jolanay]

I never heard it befor...

it is great!!

[shestalou]

This is one of my favorites, I think its so awesome how he tells the story of the black plague, you can almost picture it as he tells it. One thing about Eric Burden is no subject is taboo in his music, he truly is one of Rock n Roll's biggest legends ever.

[tubesbestmusic]

@shestalou I've seen eric 7 times....totally agree!!!

[JulianThomePictures]

This is scary

[soutltank]

so sad, yes but please listen
