Eric Burdon

In April 1976, Eric Burdon delivered a powerful performance of 'We Gotta Get Out Of This Place' at the WDR Studio-L in Cologne, Germany. This live recording captures the energy and raw emotion of Burdon, who was riding a wave of renewed creative spirit. Just before this performance, in 1974, he released the album 'Sun Secrets,' which showcased his evolution as an artist beyond his earlier days with The Animals. This particular track, originally released in the 1960s, took on an even deeper resonance during the 1970s, reflecting the turbulent social climate of the era. Burdon's backing band, featuring Mike Carr on keyboards and Robert Ahwai on guitar, brought a fresh yet nostalgic sound to the classic hit, illustrating Burdon's ability to evolve while holding true to the songs that defined his legacy.
