William Hillard, Assistant Director of Student Activities, works to bring Eric Burden and the Animals to campus. Turned on, tuned in and way out, Eric Burden and the Animals gave a mesmerizing performance Septem- ber 26, 1968 at the J.F.K. Health Center. Visual effects were as much a part of the show as their music. Sounds to bend the ears and sights to electrify the mind, the psychedelic music was done with masterful rendition by lead vocalist Eric Burden. Although a few of the devotees in the crowded gI.F.K. Health Center were a little disappointed with the new music of the Animals, they were Well received. M-DJ C STUDENTS GRUUVED WITH ERIC BURDEN and the ANIMALS Our Gurilla Stops Another Pretty Coed. The Animals have been setting trends in popular music for years. Their beginning style of Blues and Soul brought them early acclaim. The Animals have the distinction of being one of the few English groups invited to perform at the Apollo theater in New York City. Eric Burden and the Animals have the reputation of being one of the better live-performing groups in the country, they have left M-DJNC with their reputation intact if not enhanced.
