Eric Burdon

Great show with icon of rock and roll. Aging a bit but the power of the voice is still coming through. Great band and the songs you'll love to hear.

Couldn't wait to see Eric Burdon & The Animals in Chicago... And of course they played all The Animals & War classics, and left the eternal message of "Peace, Love, & Happiness."

Eric still 'has it." All the music that I grew up with, and more, was played live in a very intimate and acoustically perfect setting. I would see him over and over again, but I cherish the fact that I got to see him once while he was still touring and at his best. Go see him if you have a chance, you will not be sorry.

Had excellent seats. Heard all my favorite songs. Great concert. Will be back again

Eric Burdon and his band performed a great show at the Andiamo Showplace in Warren, Mi. The band played a tight set for about 75 minutes or so, touching on a lot of great Animals songs and some of Eric's own works. As the evening wore on, Eric warmed up. His voice is still pretty good considering he's been using it to please listeners for several decades. It was a well worth it evening. Not a lot a banter with the crowd, but I was there for the music. Eric and his band were outstanding. The only downside, I wished it would have lasted longer. The venue, Andiamo Showroom, left some to be desired. The showroom was packed in, small tables, chairs (uncomfortable) crammed together, no legroom at all. Unfortunately, our seats were in the back of the showroom and we had to watch the entire set on a video screen. The stage appeared to be slightly higher than floor level, should be higher so those in the "steerage" section can actually see the performer. The tables were all on a flat surface, so we could only see the heads of the performers unless someone in the crowd in front of us moved a little. My wife is on the small side, and sitting behind a large man, she could not see the stage, except for the lights. That aspect was very disappointing. The sound was good though. Very low marks for the place that claims they are one of the Midwest's best venues.

A great show. Eric sounded strong, and his band was in fine form. Everybody should see this legend at least once.

Eric Burdon may be getting older but you would not know it by his voice and his energy. He sounds about the same as he did in the 60s and, man, did he look like he was having a good time! He played a lot of his popular songs. Eric put on a very good show and even came out for two encores! I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys the music of the 60s. What a great evening!

This show was unforgettable! All of the musicians were amazing! They played our old favorites along with new. After all these years, Eric has still got it and making more. I picked up his new album 'Til Your River Runs Dry and it's great, too. I heard on XM's 60's on 6 that he has a great show and to see him when possible and they were right. Eric and the Animals were my favorite (and still are) and it was an honor to see him up close and personal at the Andiamo Celebrity Room in Warren, MI. Nobody asked me to write this review, I am happy to! Thanks Mr. Burdon and your amazing band.

Eric and the band was fantastic. He puts a spin on most of the classics that is sometimes better than the original.

Vocals and Instrumentals were great. Andiamo's sound levels were well balanced. Burton's voice, at age 70+, was still great.

Eric Burdon puts on quite a show. His band is steller! Ray on keyboards in AMAZING!!!!! They all seem to enjoy playing together. Each one deserves their own kudos.

Show was wonderful, amazing, Eric Burdon and band Rocks On!!! He NEVER disappoints. Can't wait until he is back in our area again.

I had a ticket to the show at nearby Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank in August, but I got stuck at work and could not attend. Reluctantly, I bought another ticket to the Bergen PAC show in Englewood on 10/22 to make up for missing that first show. I had never been there before and did not know the area, but I made the trip anyway. It's a nice venue, the parking situation is good, getting in and out of the arena was simple. I would consider going there again. As far as Eric Burdon goes, he was sensational. I had seen him once before in 2002. Whereas some of his contemporaries can't sing like they used to, Eric has still retained his booming voice. He brings a lot of energy to the show, and a great sense of humor. He clearly seems to be enjoying himself, and the crowd seemed to enjoy the show too. He does lots of Animals songs, and some from his solo career too. Highly recommended.

So many hits! His voice is great! The band is terrific!

My husband and I so much enjoyed Eric Burdon and his band of professional musicians. What I didn't care for AT ALL was the band that played before them, "Frankenstein 3,00" or something like that. The music was loud, head banging awful music, could not understand one work of what was being sung. A front band should have reflect the main event, Eric Burdon because the people they came to see Eric Burdon came for his style of music not some crap for 20 year olds. You wanted my opinion you got it....

I passed up an opportunity to see this icon of the British Invasion about 15 yrs. ago. When this concert came, I jumped on it. My 20 something daughter marveled at the vibe created

At 72, he still has it. The concert was a mix of oldies and songs off his new album. He gave each person in his band a chance to shine and they all did. . There was a part in the middle of the show when he had one of the guitar players accompanying him in R&B. It was only him and the guitarist. Everyone else went off stage. It was a really good segment. The flute/organ player was great also. He started out with "When I Was Young" and ended with "House of the Rising Sun". I was so pleased that he did "It's My Life", which is my personal favorite song of his.

A must see show! I had not seen Eric Burdon in over 20 years and throughly enjoyed the performance at the Saban Theater. The Saban Theater is beautiful and an excellent venue. Not a bad seat on the first floor in this small and intimate theater. The show had the usual mix of covers and new songs all performed with a terrific band including original member John Steel. I was plesently surprised at the performance of Eric Burdon. Although age prevents some of the high key vocals, Eric Burdon compensates with an enegetic performance with the audience. Clearly a more comfortable place then the "'stick figure" front man of the 60's. Although the new songs are wonderful it was the classic original Animals's songs that got the audience dancing in the isles. I would love to see him team up on a bill with other classic bands like Paul Revere, Turtles, Cowsills, etc!

Eric Burdon and his band were fantastic. His unique voice is still so powerful. He truly is an artist, timeless and knows how to work his audience. His band was so top notch, very well rounded with the experienced old timers as well as the younger amazing players. They supported him so well so that he could be his best. Rock on. Great show! On a side note, the two opening acts were sub par....sorry.

My husband was unsure about going but.....so glad we did! Eric rocked it, put on a great show with his voice true to form. Also, his backup band was great too. I would def. go see him again and love the Hart Theatre!

In some cases the older musicians have lost their one time gifts. Not in the case of Eric Burdon. He does the old songs as well or even better. His newer material is just as good as the old but his life experience shows through in a brilliant way. . We go to a lot of concerts and this was up there on our list. Close to the Stones. If you can't get to the show, his new CD Till Your River Runs Dry is great. At least check out the CD. My wife is hording it in her car. We drove two hours each way and my wife had to be up for work at 5:30 AM but we both would do it again.

Eric Burdon had a good back up band and he himself did a good job. It would have been a much better show had the timing been better. Ticketmaster said the show started at 7:00. I figured for a Sunday night this would be OK. I am not a late nighter as I'm sure 90% of audience was not - as they were primarily seniors in the crowd. So 7 to around 9:30 would be good for a Sunday night. When we get there, primed for a 7:00 start, we find out that there is a warm up performer. Ughh - OK so there goes another hour. THEN we are told that the show doesn't start until 8:00. They blamed it on bad advertising and Ticketmaster. So Eric didn't go on until around 9. At that point you could sense that the crowd wasn't into it and therefore Eric wasn't into it. But Eric and his bad did a pretty good job.

As a long time Eric Burdon fan, I was excited to see this legend perform. He is truly a master and other young singers should see him. His style and connection with the audience is magical. He allows you to be part of it and his voice is extraordinary. New songs and old hits were a perfect blend in this 80 minute set. His band is tight as a drum and he allows them all to solo. Clearly they are a family. I feel part of that now and look forward to going again..

Eric Burdon was wonderful!!! He has so much energy, his voice is the same, outstanding! The best version of House of the Rising sun was this night!! He mixed in new songs with older ones, but it didn't matter, it was his voice I came to hear. He also sang We've gotta get out of this place, Spill the wine (awesome) I wish he would have sang San Francisco nights, and Anything, but it was ok. I love going to The Canyon, no traffic, no parking, eat at Wood Ranch first and saunter right in to stand up close. I will never understand how people can sit down at concerts, at those tables. I choose standing every time. If you've never seen Eric Burdon in person, GO! You will be glad you did!!
