This is all we have
As far as I know this is the only video of the Animals worth mentioning. And it is not too bad, but could be a whole lot better. My main complaint is the ubiquitous presence of Sammy Hagar whose phoniness is enough to make you puke.His is the first voice we hear-telling us how he really dug Eric Burdon, and the Stones were too pop for him. He raves about the Animals and then later the he raves about the "New Animals" like the first band was actually second rate, but this new band can really play. Hagar seems to be under the impression this documentary is about him...I mean, like "oh I came from a small town in Montana that was a lot like Newcastle...give me a break Sammy- go back to Anaconda and stay there. Apart from this egomaniac distraction, the video is a valuable document.
