Full article:

Ann Moses (reviewer, Tiger Beat) : The anticipation for Eric Burdon And The Animals was greater than the reaction. Opening his show with a sick film, in which The Animals portrayed soldiers beating up a character resembling Jesus, they 'sang' five numbers in 45 minutes. It's hard to say 'sang' because there was more improvised guitar and organ than vocal sound. Their entire show was sick, senseless and completely outside the realm of music.

The audience was relieved en masse when The Rascals came onto the stage. They put on a well-rehearsed, exciting show, featuring mainly their hit songs, which can easily fill 45 minutes. They reproduce the sound of their records well, enhancing them with dancing and soul that is really there. They were excellent!
