Eric Burdon and War perform soulful versions of “Spirit” and “Love Is All Around” on Danish TV on January 22, 1971.
This was one of Burdon’s last performances with War. A week after this footage was shot, Burdon collapsed on stage from pneumonia and was forced to drop out of the band’s European tour. War continued the tour without him and Burdon never returned to performing with the group until a re-union gig in 2008.
Thomas Sylvester “Papa Dee” Allen—percussion

While clips from this TV performance have popped up on Youtube, this a particularly high quality one. I think it’s stellar.
