Very nice.
The quality is top and i always liked EB & War

Thanks for sharing- "A Great Funk Jam by Eric Burdon & War".


Eric Burdon and The Animals "Paint It' Black in Monterey;

Here is the studio version of Paint It, Black that Eric Burdon and The Animals recorded for their 1967 album Winds Of Change.

Here is the BBC television version as performed by Eric Burdon and The Animals in 1967.

Stones fans in the Netherlands really seem to love the song Paint It, Black. The original Stones version was reissued in 1990 and it went to #1 on the charts there just as in 1966, whereas the reissue only went as high as #61 in the UK.

Also, in 1971 the studio cover version by Eric Burdon & War (from the album The Black Man's Burdon) made it to #31 on the Ducth charts, the only country where the single made a chart appearance.

Is Paint It, Black the favorite Stones song for fans in the Netherlands?

Here is the full 13-minutes-plus album version by Eric Burdon & War:





Hmm, aahhhh
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors in my life, you better turn them black
I see them walking by dressed in their colorful clothes
My happiness de?
No more will my grey sea turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing happening to you
No

I see people walking by dressed their summer clothes
I see them strolling by, my happiness ?
Turn it black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I said I know baby
Everything is black I know
Since you been gone
Eveything is black before my eyes
Baby eh
Everything is black I know
Turn to me
And help me see again baby
Help me walk once more
And help me talk again, walk again
Stand up like a man baby
Since you been gone, gone
There is no color in my life baby
Its turning so very very ? black

Humph, I walk down the street
And I see a line of cars
Maybe blue, maybe brown, maybe green
But their turning black
Before my very eyes
And you could not know
What its like when your whole world is black
When everything you see and touch
Turns so very very black hmm
Oh baby now
I need you by my side
Bring some color into my life
Once again
I even tripped down and fell
Didn't see no colors anymore baby
Bad, bad scene
And I have to tell you baby
No more will my grey sea go turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing ever happening to you
No

I see people walking by me
They're all going in different directions
I see them strolling by and my heart splinters like a flame
Turning black baby
Turning black I know
Everything
Since you've been gone is turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby
Oh lord, oh babe, whoa lord, help me see again, baby
Help me walk, talk, walk stand up like a man I know
Need you standing by my side
Because I'm blind and I cannot see
Color blind
I'm color blind
Paint everything so black
Go ahead and paint it black baby
Everyhing is black black, black, its turning black I know
Need some color in my life...

Is Paint It' Black the favorite Stones song for fans in The Netherlands?




Paint It' Black is the music I grew up as a teenager in The Sixties but as well; Tell Me -Route 66 -Walking The Dog -Not Fade Away -It's All Over Now -The Last Time -Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow? and many others, it was all about listening to singles at friends places and listening to Pirate Radio Stations and Radio Luxembourg and trying to get the singles at the time.
I think that this Classic Rock song can be find in a lot of Top Charts as well others like Satisfaction. I myself don't care about the Top Charts but for sure Paint It' Black is one of my favorites.

glad for this thread as Ive always wondered how Eric Burdon got together with War in the first place?

always liked the odd hit Spill The Wine..
I had a really good album, Sun Secrets by The Eric Burdon Band, but no War members on that..don't know what happened to that LP..

I think Eric Burdon moved to Frisco in 69 and formed "War".

Sun Secrets is a great album-Medley When I was Young

Lee Oskar on harmonica, cool. Does Mick still use this brand?


Gonna see Eric tomorrow!

From his latest CD:

Excuse me;

When Burdon lived in 1969 in San Francisco, he met the Danish harmonica player Lee Oskar. Together they joined the Californian funk rock band The Nightshift. They were the only 'white' members in more 'black' band, which was renamed Eric Burdon and War

Stumbled across this recording whilst reading-up on the 'dance-music' genre on Wikipedia. It's considered by some to be the first 'dance' track. I don't know about that, but it sounds so totally bloody different to anything else recorded in 1969! Anyway, I knew the songs' key melody already, but wouldn't have been able to put a name to the tune. I actually find it a little hard to believe that it was recorded so long ago. Totally out of step with the 'rock world' of '69. Just think: Woodstock, Altamont... and this!

We used to call "Awaken" by Yes "The Cheeseburger Song". During the mega Yes tour, where they had double instrumentation, a buddy & I got really drunk & went to the show. We decided during "Awaken" that we could've walked out of the arena, went to blocks to the local burger emporium (Dick's Drive In), sat down, had a cheeseburger, walked back to the arena & they still would've been playing the same song!

Awesome song, but the one you posted is not the original. It was first made by Gershon Kingsley in an all-electronic version, on an album called Music To Moog By. So you are perhaps even more right in that it's very different from most music in 1969. I believe the Moog synth came out around that time which basically started the electronic pop music genre.





I first heard the tune in an 80s chiptune version, and to me, this has always been a computer- and synthesiser-geek song. There are tons of remixes of it. But I love the version you posted -- it has a lovely organ sound.

The most famous Popcorn version is probably the one by Hot Butter, which has a bit of a disco feel:





Edit: I found a "better" video of it, with this dance. This could fit on any list of things making fun of "white people"...

Come to think of it -- during a friend's bachelor party we had a boom box with about 100 versions of Popcorn and listened to it all day. What a relief it was to hear Deep Purple's Fireball after that!

There were quite a few light entertainment electronica type records etc around that time.

Definitely not. There's loads of stuff from years earlier that could be considered as dance music.

Like the music this Dutch duo were creating...

1957




1958

"Popcorn" is an early electronic pop instrumental, composed by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 and first appearing on his album Music to Moog By.
The same year it was released and recorded at Audio Fidelity Records label in New York City. The composition received its title during a meeting between Kingsley and Audio Fidelity; Kingsley indicated the track did not have a title and someone suggested "Popcorn", with 'Pop' standing for pop music and 'corn' for kitsch.[1]
In 1972, Hot Butter's rerecording was a huge hit in many countries. That version is by far the best known, even more than the original. "Popcorn" has since been covered by a great number of artists.

Did not know it was a song from '69......what I know it was a giant hit in Holland back in '72 I don't remember how long it stays on number one it must be weeks.......you could hear the song everywhere on the streets, shops and disco's

I was born in 79, yet this tune is so familiar to me. Obviously not from the original or the 72 versions. I think there was some ZX Spectrum game that had it, but I'm not sure.

George Harrison bought a Moog at that time as well and introduced that to the Abbey Road sessions.

I believe Florence Ballard is the leadsinger of this song or it is Mary Wilson, but for sure it is not Diana Ross.

Popcorn can be such fun, especially after a few drinks....

Anyone else tried to play it by clicking their tongue or knocking on their head while changing the opening of their mouth?

I was just finally getting around to listening to the clip posted by the OP. Two things struck me about the first 2 minutes of the track. For some reason, those fast cutting keyboard notes remind me of the rhythms of later work by Pete Townshend and The Who--perhaps he was influenced by The Popcorn Song?

The second thing was that the riff that this track breaks into at 1:52 and sustains until 3:18 is very familiar, though it threw me off for a few seconds because it's being played in "Telstar" rhythms. But it's the melody from the instrumental Apache, first released in 1961 by Jørgen Ingmann, a guitar instrumental that also sounded a bit ahead of its time.





EDIT: Being from the U.S., I'm only familiar with the Jørgen Ingmann version, which was a #2 hit here, but the original was a #1 UK hit for The Shadows in 1960.

This is my favorite version of miss you :






Please, listen to it carefully: it is wonderful, a real gem.

The images come from the 78' tour but the soundtrack is from the first show in the Madison Square Garden in 1981.

I know it because I have recorded this version of miss you (on a tape) from a french radio the day after the show (in 1981). I frequently listened to it (I know this version by heart). Now the tape is lost...

I love everything : the grooving bass and piano, the guitars, Mick's singing.
I miss Bill and Ian Stewart.

soundtrack is from 1978 tour.

It means that the french radio were wrong (it was broadcasted the morning of the show). Are you sure it was 1978 and not 1981 ?

Definitely 1978

The 1978 versions are great after that I wish they would have shelved it in favor other songs but it is a crowd pleaser I think its the fans on this board that are tired of it.

I like the really long San Diego '98 version the best, the 89/90 versions are my least favourites, too short and rushed
