Animals

 After hearing Doug's sound I had to go listen to a few. I think this was one of my favorites:

There's so many cool Animal videos on you tube and so many cool songs they did.

 Yeah, its funny on this clip and its subtle, theres a screw up at right around 1:03-1:06, the keyboard player even glances over with a 'what are you doing' look when they go into the bridge, Eric was supposed to start the whole 'Baby' phrase but doesn't do it till the next time around. Like I say its subtle and perhaps they were lipsynching and the screwup is on the original album, but its a funny little glance. It should be like in the second time they do the bridge. Love the girls on the walls too, the one in the background is priceless just bopping her head back and forth. The feminist would have a field day now a days with the 'trophy' aspect of this video.

 Another few: We gotta get out of this place. Supposedly live, I doubt it, guys sound good for having no mikes on them except Eric. I know they used booms but don't think they'd pick them up like that. Anyway not a bad period video. I like all the dancers in the front and the stage about 50 feet back. Funny.

THIS ONE IS GREAT! I didn't know they even did boom boom boom (john lee hooker), pretty funny, definitely live at Wembley arena, having equip trouble with they're vintage vox stacks heh Check Eric's Elvis moves, keyboard player must have his dads pants on, check the floods haha:

Classic. House of the rising sun, only funny bit here is, why are they following Eric around the stage? Probably the greatest electric piano solo EVER:

Those are some great clips

The dancers cracked me up.

Wembley.
More "dodgy" Vox amps!
Too bad there weren't more Marshalls.

Hey, them dancers were smokin'
I mean, they were showing their knees!
Heavens!
Some people must have thought is was the end of the world?

Eric Burdon is great!  A whole lotta voice for very little man!

Like I say its subtle and perhaps they were lipsynching and the screwup is on the original album

If they perform live, where are the cords and wires for the mics, geetars and keyboards?

Here's a cool thing to listen for on the original recording of "When I was young"

There is a quiet part towards the end around 2:15

Eric is singing, the bass is playing and the drummer is only tapping on a cymbal
The drummer is still tapping on the kick drum pedal without it touching the drum head.

Problem is, he forgot to oil the kick pedal joints and you can hear it squeaking in the background.

Cracks me up every time I hear it.

I guess they didn't feel like removing the squeak back back.

I saw Eric a few years ago down at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, Flower Power concert series at Disney.  What a fun great show.  The guy is a real entertainer.  He also came out after the show for pics and autographs - seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
