I think this is the version for people who truly understand the song, rather than just like the melody or instruments or whatever.

I think this version captures the true message of the song, especially in the intro because that's how this song probably came to be; some guy singing by himself or among his friends in the house of the rising sun.

@iceteaguy Thank you!

I tired of reading the comments.

Even cancelled the "Best version" from title.

If someone arrived to this level you don't need to explain anything.

I can see now that after many years Eric Burdon arrived to this - musically and in personality.

[JosephMile]

Ahh, it doesn't substitute the original.

Rather complete that.

If someone cannot feel the depth in it, that's a pity...or maybe a good thing(?)

Those ones may meet this song again and it will hit them....

Who's the artist here??

[JosephMile]

You can read his name at 1.37 ;)

i prefer the version he did in 1964 but this is good too :)

[JosephMile]

Yes, this version has a strong blues/rock touch, but this is what gives much more depth to this song.

The animals version was the worst so far

[StreetraveDave89]

My mothers favourite all time song, she loved the Animals in their day but never got a chance to see them then. . took her to falkirk town hall 4 years ago to see the Animals play live. minus eric burdon

made her day ;-)
