Has anyone seen Eric on this tour? What should I expect, is he doing lots of Animals tunes or what's up?

You should expect that he has not changed his last name to Burden.

I have seen Eric every year for about the past 12 years. Last year he put together a new band, a little more reggae influence than his past harder rock bands. He always does a mix of Animal Classics, Blues, and lately, new stuff. He can't move around like he use to, but he sure still has the chops! Well worth going to! But like the stones with midnight rambler or CYHMK, You never know if Eric is going to do Sky Pilot.

his band is not set anymore...players come in and out based on availability. seen him many times over the years - twice this year. eric never fails to disappoint. you might even catch the resurgent Hilton Valentine (original Animal) with him these days...

Sky Pilot?

I'd like him to do Paint It, Black if I were to see'im.

Yeah he's playing up here in Tahoe next weekend. Don't think I'll be able to make it though.

hasn't done paint it black in several decades, but sky pilot is often in the set....

He is playing in Vancouver B.C. on October 19. I would love to see him but just can't get away from work for this intimate show. He is playing in a lot of very small venues on this tour.

So are ya also sayin' he aint playin' Love (Is All, Around) either?

Personally I'd love to see a Animals reunion. That would be great.

War reunion wouldnt be too bad either.

Tippy; couldnt you try too edit the headline..

Chas is dead - don't see the rest of them reuniting. And, as for a War reunion - no chance at all...Burdon's burned those bridges. Saw Eric on the same bill with War two years ago -they talked to him about coming out for a Spill the Wine run-thru - he wouldn't have anything to do with it....

The Animals still tour, though the drummer is sthe only original member.

well, then when Hilton plays with Eric, they have twice the number of originals...go figure. And, with War, the band that has the name has one original member, whereas the band that tours as "The Low Rider Band" has 5 or 6....
