The Animals (Most missing appearances of all?)

www.lostshows.com/default.aspx?search=the+animals

Are The Animals the group with the most Missing Episodes appearances?,
just look at the Lostshows link above and see just how many episodes of
RSG!, Thank Your Lucky Stars, Top Of The Pops, The Beat Room and
many many more shows...

with so many, it increases the likelihood that footage and/or audio can
perhaps be located?

Can anyone think of any other Group that has so many Missing Episodes appearances
as The Animals?

Try asking on pop music fan sites like the Radio Caroline Yahoo Group at

Loads of footage on YouTube too.

Will do thanks Stephen

[simoncurtis]

I think The Small Faces hold the record for most wiped Totp performances.

[williammcgregor]

Thanks Simon

[John Green]

I suppose many a one hit wonder has had 100% of their appearances lost-not to mention (semi)-amateurs on shows such as Ready Steady Win!

[williammcgregor]

True John, you cannot get any more lost performances than 100% but 100% lost is easy for a one hit wonder.

But in terms of most actual appearances lost of (non one hit wonders) who is it?

[williammcgregor]

To help us identify any footage or audio; it would help us if we knew the song(s) performed in those
Missing Episodes? so, I have taken the ME's from the lostshows link above and placed them in
chronological order, then to get the ball rolling, I have entered the song(s) for the ones known about,
as you can see, there are many gaps, so everyone please participate, to fill in the Gaps..

[richardwoods]

Doesn't one of the WGGOOTP (love it )performances exist? Sure I've seen a clip relatively recently, could be a case of "the memory cheats".

[williammcgregor]

Hope so Richard. If you suddenly remember please let us know

[richardwoods]

Will do! Not the performance or the track I was talking about but bloody good non the less. youtu.be/DrR1h1Oz1vE

[williammcgregor]

Richard, thank you for the great "Don't Bring Me Down" YouTube clip (excellent)

Mark, thank you for the extra 20 appearances (how I wish some of these performances can be found somewhere) especially the Eric Burdon and the animals ones.

I have a great book called Animal tracks by Sean Egan, I must re-read it to see if I can gleam any lost TV info from it.

Meanwhile, has any forum member got a book called (Good Times:The Ultimate Eric Burdon Audio-Videography 1963-1991) by Dionisio Castello who is an Italian Animals superfan. It's in English seemingly.

19th May 1968: The Golden Shot (Monterey) in full Hippie gear (Vic Briggs said "It was bizarre")

[tom rogers]

Saw the original line-up twice in 1983-84(?) in the US on the second reunion attempt, touring to support their album "The Ark." The second time I saw them was at an outdoor venue, with some supporting musicians, and they were great. Had the place jumping. But, the first show I saw, about thre months or so earlier, was just sublime. A small club (100 people tops), and just the original five guys. We were practically on-stage with them. Burdon was in great shape and all over the place. The band was tight and having a ball. They played for almost three hours and left the stage completely drenched. In my top five shows/events of all time.
