The weekend starts here. That was the invite you would have gotten when you tuned in to the best music show in the UK, nay, in the world every Friday evening from August 9, 1963 to December 23, 1966. The CD you have in your hands contains 13 tracks from the Animals on RSG, 27 tracks taken off US TV, nine tracks from French radio, and an interview with Eric Burdon. Three tracks from August '65 are by The Animals Big Band; the boys supplementing their stage presence with a brass section -- no British band had ever before sounded this close to an American black jump blues outfit. While The Complete Live Broadcasts I zeroed in on the songs, this set captures much of the atmosphere of the group's live performances. The Animals created dozens of superb tracks across their singles, EPs, and albums between 1964 and 1966 but the best way to experience the group was live. This set is the nearest equivalent to actually being there.
