The Animals at the Club a GoGo in Newcastle 1962

The Animals play the Club a GoGo - Newcastle

At the start of 1962, the Animals were known as the Alan Price (Rhythm and Blues) Combo. The band, led by keyboardist Alan Price, had a good sound but were lacking something. As if on cue, they are joined by soulful singer Eric Burdon. A couple of weeks later, the band talks their way into a regular gig - a residency at Newcastle's "Club a GoGo!" on Percy Street. There they make quite a mark. But they are told by the Manager they need a new name to fit their personal style and their wild late performances. The band decides to go by the name: "The Animals."

The rest, as they say, is history.

The Alan Price Combo are the original Animals

WOW. Unbelievable is right. Thanks for reposting this. Have been meaning to get to this for a while now, glad it's still up. This does not sound like 1962. Very ahead of their time, in my humble opinion. Enjoyed this a lot! Thanks again.
