May 11th 1941 Eric Burdon


Still one of the finest music videos ever made. Eric Burdon, 'the leader' as Alan Price called him at their Hall of Fame inauguration speech where Burdon himself was notably absent. Chipped tooth and surly as hell. But also Price himself, taciturn and almost completely still throughout, The three front men going for a walk. Chas Chandler, big as can be and Hilton Valentine's wonderful smile at the end of the song. Their bow. As for that song itself, apparently Dylan drove off the highway onto the roadside to give it his full attention and compose himself when he first heard it being played on his car radio.
