Eric Burdon & The Animals - House of the Rising Sun (Live, 2011)

Eric Burdon Tribute Channel 11 ^ | September 7, 2011 | Traditional

[Bogle]

"Eric how can we begin to thank you...."

[Bogle]

I can believe that. One great thing about this song is that it immediately connects, from the first bar.

[Getready]

But rumor has it....when Dylan heard the Animals version while driving his car...he told himself that he was going to start using electrical instruments.

[sauropod]

Yes. Never a fan of this song.

[Tallguy]

Eric Burdon... “The Egg Man”

[sushiman]

Loved them , but they wrote less than a handful of original tunes until the band changed members and became Eric Burdon and The Animals when they wrote a handful or two . Can’t compare to The Kinks , Stones , Beatles .

What would karaoke be without The House of the Rising Sun?

The history of The House of The Rising Sun:

[Scrambler Bob]

It was a 78.

Maybe a 45?

A 45 at 78 speed would make it screechy, like some of the critics, above.
