Damn the years flew by fast. It seems like yesterday when I saw these guys at the Paramount Theater in Portland Oregon back in 1979. Ric and Ben have moved on but they left their brilliant music as their legacy. True Pioneers. They were doing it before anyone thought it could be done. The impact they had on the trajectory of music that we hear today should not be understated. They're part of the foundation. It was a great time musically. So much new music. I'm glad I was there to witness it.
Have always loved the animals, since they first came out...."It's my life", "Pease don't let me be misunderstood " and War's recording of "Spill the Wine"....great stuff.....f'ing Eric Burdon, what a hipster.
