The Animals

In 2011, Eric Burdon & The Animals took the stage at the San Javier International Jazz Festival in Spain, delivering a memorable live performance of 'House of the Rising Sun.' This came long after the original band had left an indelible mark on rock music with their hit in 1964. By 2011, Burdon had experienced a diverse musical journey, exploring various genres and collaborating with a wide array of artists. Interestingly, the original 'House of the Rising Sun' recording was a point of breakthrough for The Animals, capturing that raw energy and deep emotion that defined their style. It’s kind of fascinating to see how Burdon revisited this classic over four decades later, still infusing it with passion and vigor, proving that some songs have a timeless quality that resonates. Plus, performing in such a beautiful Spanish setting really added a rich layer of cultural connection to the whole experience.
