Animals - Sky Pilot (Long Version) 1968
Out On The YouTube ^

Posted on 06/03/2023 2:21:10 PM PDT by SamAdams76

This is a song from 55 years ago.

Only older Freepers will remember it as it has not gotten much airplay since.

But I think this is the best Animals song of all. Eric Burdon on the vocals. Very underrated singer and band.

This was a "protest" song of the Vietnam song at the time. But it is a timeless song and a masterpiece.

I linked this particular video due to the WW2 images.

Eric Burdon and the Animals did the Official Song for every soldier serving in Vietnam, “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place”

I like Eric’s “Spill The Wine” with War.

Monterey is probably my favorite song of any by Eric Burdon & the Animals. In fact, I think I’ll go listen to it now.

Mine too, because that's where I was born, well, Ft Ord Army Hospital to be exact, but that's where I grew up, and I loved every minute I was there. I still go back every few years, but as you can imagine, while it's still one of my favorite places, it has declined.

Absolutely right. Many buried treasures can be found in their LP’s.

At least it came out when LBJ was still running the show, unlike that loser, Neil Young who waited until Nixon was in the White House.

I came home in September 1967, after I got out of that place. I remember this song well.

I know all the Freepers know who the “Sky Pilot” is. Right?
