I have said what a profound effect The Animals had on me and my interest in blues music and R nB sources from my beloved brother Steve’s copy of The Most of The Animals at the age of 12/3!? and it introduced me of course to material from John Lee Hooker et al but these live TV versions may have eluded me for a while ( looks like commercial TV which we weren't allowed to watch! long story) Still this is also the first time I heard blues standards (made Geordie) like the ubiquitous CC Rider! A longstanding all time favourite number . . . . .
Boom Boom (1965) Note no Alan Price who left in May but Dave Rowberry on organ
See See Rider (1967) note no keyword show AT ALL!
They reformed in 1968 with Alan Price again but he left shortly after suffering seemingly from overwhelming fear of flying not to mention artistic differences . . . . not helped by Alan Price when their ubiquitous hit that made them famous the old blues standard ‘House of The Rising Son’ being registered as by him alone for the arrangement meaning he got the royatlies and his band mates didn’t!
