Summary: Shockingly Bad!
Review: Left me in shock for some time! Eric Burdon mutilated his songs so badly, he has forever ruined what was once some of my favorite music. Now when his old stuff comes on the radio, I flash back to this horrible concert. His voice is bad, his stage presence is bad, sound quality is bad -- I'm stunned that they would even release this. He should be embarassed.

Summary: The worst DVD concert video ever
Review: The Animals were one of my favorite bands in the 60's, so I had high expectations when I bought this disk. Boy, was I disappointed! A mediocre band behind a washed-up has-been singer. Burdon at one time had one of the great voices in rock, but sadly it's gone now. The melodies have become monotone, semi-shouted parodies of once-great tunes. If that weren't bad enough, the video is grainy and the sound quality is poor. Don't waste your money on this dog.

Summary: Is Eric Bored?
Review: The video image is okay and the audio is decent, but Eric Burdon's performance is disappointing. Has Eric lost his voice or is he just totally bored with his old hits? I was disappointed in the stylistic changes made to standards like "House of the Rising Sun" "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "San Franciscan Nights". I didn't expect him to exactly duplicate the songs Burdon made famous with the old Animals, but I didn't expect him to take as much liberty as he did either.The one neat thing about the Eric Burdon video is that it is multi-angle on at least two songs. You select the view you want (there are three to choose from.) That's kind of cool.

Summary: Great concert from Eric
Review: This DVD really captures how Eric and band were at the time, and still is. Erics voice is stil going strong, and he's as energetic as ever.
Old fans who haven't seen or heard of him in 30 years, might be disappointed because they haven't heard his work between the old, a bit boring Animals and this DVD. His version here of f.ex. Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood ain't all that weird. He's been playin' this reggea-like version since the mid 80's!
The band is extremly good, but some of the spirit disappeared with Larry Wilkins in the grave, but Dean's doing a great job and so is all of the others, too!
So if you know Eric well, or know how he is nowadays, BUY THIS DVD! But if you're an old, narrow-minded Animals fan who expect it to be just like the old days, forget it. But still it is a great DVD anyway

Summary: An unexpected treat by a legendary artist
Review: This is a fine performance by Eric Burdon and his new band. I was a kid back in the 60's when the Animals introduced me to British R&B, and it is amazing how strong Eric Burdon's talent and voice is after this many years. The concert is great! He performs many of his biggest rock and R&B hits, and there are a lot of songs included. The DVD is well produced and very entertaining. It is a live concert with short segments between some of the songs where Eric gives some background and tells some interesting anecdotes. I would have preferred that these segments be included as separate features from the concert footage, but they are short and entertaining. This is a fine performance and well worth getting. It includes some adult subject matter that is not suitable for children, but hey, we're from the 60's man!

Summary: A great way to unwind and remember Eric The Great again
Review: This video is for animal lovers who have beenpatiently waiting for Eric to return and hopefullynever fade away.Eric has never lost that wry look and self confi-dence about him and the way he has to sing the way he does if absolutely amazing at that age.Sit down and hook this video into the best soundsystem you can get, have a cool one and by thetime you get into 45 minutes of this music youllbe pumped up and toe tappen to all the musicians.Long live Eric and please bring back Chris and PatCouchois on the next album.

Summary: Worst DVD in my collection
Review: Who ever decided to tape this show and put it on a DVD was crazy. I am a fan of Eric Burdon and the Animals and lets face it, they are an "old" rock and roll band and should give their audience what they want, the OLD versions of their hits. Even John Fogerty does a great job on his Premonition DVD without the CC band. I will sell this crummy DVD as soon as I can.
