Live Albums By War

While R&B singer Eric Burdon from The Animals and War are often linked together, War started as a funk band in 1969 and the band and singer were brought together by producer Jerry Goldstein.

Burden only played with the band between 1969 and 1971 and guitarist Howard Scott took over the lead vocals. Burdon worked with the band again in 1976.

It’s useful to see the timing of the studio albums and hit singles before looking in detail at the live albums.
