Eric Burdon

In 1982, Eric Burdon was deeply immersed in his solo career, having released the album 'I’m Eric Burdon,' which came out just the year before. This period marked a fascinating chapter for him, as he was blending blues, rock, and even a hint of funk, showcasing his versatility. During the live jam session at the Freilichtbühne Loreley, he performed 'I Am The Blues,' a powerful declaration of his identity as an artist steeped in the blues tradition. Notably, this performance included a stellar lineup of musicians, like Rory Gallagher, adding a rich texture to the night. It’s captivating to think about how Burdon, often known for his work with The Animals, was continually reinventing himself on stage, pushing musical boundaries and inspiring audiences with his raw, emotive voice. This concert is a perfect snapshot of his unyielding passion for music and experimentation in the early '80s.
