Yep, I am old - yikes 50 years!
Interesting to watch the video. one of my favorite songs - never saw the video. Most of the kids in the video have no idea...  But as I watch the lead - there is something there, he lived something... thanks for sending this CaptJack!

First song I ever learned to play on the Guitar was house of the rising sun. Weird thing is I never knew who the group was or what they looked like until now. thanks Jack.

During the Vietnam era, I remember them playing this song over and over in the GI bars in Bangkok.

I saw them live in Birmingham in the mid 60's and was blown away. I had the album and played it over and over. My Grandmother heard it and said that it was not a new song, it was an old blues song she had heard back in her younger days.

My band used to do Amazing Grace to the tune of House of the Rising Sun.  Always a big hit during our set.

They played at the spring fling at the University of Texas in 1967. I had a great time watching them.
