E B & War
Event: ERIC BURDON AND WAR
Where: LONDON'S ROYAL ALBERT HALL
When: MONDAY APRIL 21 2008
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend, Eric Burdon (The Animals,
"House of the Rising Sun," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood")
reunites with his proto-funk band, War("Spill the Wine," "The World is a Ghetto," "Cisco Kid")
for their first joint appearance in over 35 years.
This historic reunion of Eric Burdon with Lonnie
Jordan and War is a once in a lifetime, must-see event.
Eric Burdon and the Animals were the second band from
England in the early 1960's to score an international number one record,
kick-starting what became known as British Invasion.
That electrified rendition of a standard folk song "House of the Rising Sun," inspired Bob Dylan and the creation of Folk-Rock, as well as countless young guitar players.
Burdon's hits from the mid-sixties ("Sky Pilot," "Monterey") pioneered the psychedelic San Francisco sound.
Again, as the tumultuous decade ended Burdon introduced the laid back Afro/Latin LA sound with a new band, the interracial - and provocatively named -
War, spawning a career which produced dozens of distinctive jazz-tinged hits.
One of the most influential and greatest of British blues rock singers, Burdon's latest release, "Soul of a Man," takes the devastation of New Orleans and the
Gulf as it's starting point, proving that the causes
of blues - and the music itself - are alive and well in the 21st century.
