Greatest song/album ever, this was my first album I bought from my cousin for $1 in 1969. Wore it and my parents out, I just couldn't listen to it unless the volume was cranked to 11!
I was 13 when I got this album-and that's when my dad put me in the basement bedroom-didn't help him though-still went through all three floors-now I'm 55 and it's still a killer!
I'm also 55, but didn't discover this song/album until my later teens, living in my own place, shopping ast second hand store for $1 LPs to play on my giant-ass HIFI, that dominated(I had my priorities straight!) my itsy bitsy living room! Along with stacks of records (100s! Still have most (now my vinyl LP collection is nearing 2K!); this was a big influence on my music tastes for the years ever since!
I'm 67 years old (young at heart) and I remember listening to this song/album in December 1968 when I was stationed at the Naval Hospital in Boston. Many cold winter nights in the barracks listening to this classic. Oh yeah!
Carl Loud I'm 14 and my dad introduced me to classics like this and this is real music I wish i lived that the 60's when music was much better than today's.
SellingKhatrusByThePound same dude nobody these days at my school like this music but I love all classics and I'm 13 and everyone these days like rap, pop not even real music to me
I first became aware of this when the two hippie drummers in our junior school band learned the drum solo together as a call and response thing on their kits. I had to hear the whole song after that, and fell in love. I bought the live album and never looked back.
I had this tune down when I was a percussionist in the late 1960s to 2000, when I was paralized for 4 months and now have severe peripheral neuropathy in both arms and hands along with migraines that made me have to put the sticks down for life, sucks!
+joyce kunzelman I was 10 and my dad would crank it up on his old Capehart Hi-Fi ( with the double8-track built in) and had a speaker in all four corners of the living room... I swear you could hear the drummer walking around the room during the drum solo! Simply put ... AWESOME!
I found my 1968 transistor radio in my mom's hoarder time museum. Am afraid if I power it up, the right stations won't be there anymore, so I have no idea if it works.
+Debbie Mur Murphy Turned 59 myself on April 29 and I love this song and band more than ever....Was one of the 1st albums I listened to at age 13/14 ( eons ago)
Great to meet here folks who are just as enthusiastically. IB, they were the reason that I played as a teenager drumming and tried to get close. I did not, think so. But it was worth trying. And as a girl you were not taken seriously on drums.
Debbie Mur Murphy - turned 59 this myself. This brings back lots of great memories of my mis-spent youth in days of better living through chemistry. What a cult song!
Vincent Blackburn How's your sister these days, Vinnie ? Still in good health? I don't mean to sound rude, I'm kinda high right now. But when you call your sister lovely, do you mean that in an incestuous way?

WOW LOVE THIS. BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES. I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE GROUP WHO COULD DANCE TO THIS AND ALSO LAST THE WHOLE SONG. LOVE THOSE OLD DAYS. THANKS FOR THE SHARE AND MEMORIES.
I never heard the red wine thing; though it could well have been participating in - what I interpreted as - the massive chemical reactions through the wonder of the blood-brain barrier. In other words, he was deeply effed when he recorded this 😅
seen these guys play this twice, live. Once in the Capital Theater in Port Chester, N.Y. in the late 60's with about 12 people in the audience. No one ever heard of them back then but I did. Can't remember the other place -- Ha....
I was only 13 when i bought this album. it had some awesome songs on it.we had an organ back then ,and I played all the organ parts right with the music.wish i could bring those years back.
Ah the memories. I had a strobe light, a black light, and a rotating multi-colored disco ball keeping me entertained for hours. Half the time I'd forget to plug them in.
A love song from Adam to Eve! Written as "in the garden of Eden" but he was so drunk after drinking a full gallon of Red Mountain wine, he slurred so badly, his teammate could only derive these words. A lot of this fuller version was later fleshed out in live jam sessions, alone(garage band style), in the studio, or performing live in a club. A true rock icon of a bygone era! Was the longest by far, until Rush's "2112"!
The first time i heard this song (im younger) it was on XM radio and they played this version and i was kind of sick and we were on a road trip and it hit a high note for a longer time and it was high enough of a note to bring tears to my eyes. interesting reaction to hearing a song for the first time if i do say so myself
I was lucky enough to grow up in a house that my folks mainly my dad has wooden fruit crates of LPs like iron butter fly to ac/dc . Even if I didn't I would still listen to this stuff! Never gets old! Such talent . I hate all the cookie cutter music today
One of my faves, as a baby dad played this for me, and I think of the phonograph stacking up with the beatles, lily tomlin, credence, simon and garfunkel, bill cosby, etc. Etc.
I am sitting here playing all my Momma Dawgz jamz, praying that she will come back from her stroke. I love u R.A.S.W ur my fawking hero and we all hoping u pull thru. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤🖤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is music folks..you can't call today's artists musicians. I was born in 1975 so I didn't get to see this stuff live but my soul was there at a young age and I know music.....good music. :)
Instead of harrassing someone for listening to the same music a few years later, we should be celebrating that they're not listening to the regurgitated, studio-created, originality-lacking music of today. There's enough space in the world to let everyone have their own happiness.
Those of us who bought this also bought Steppenwolf, Led Zep, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, King Crimson, and so many more. But the radio stations didn't play this stuff in the early days. They played Osmonds and Jackson 5, lol.
We got a copy of both the short single and the album (this tract -- the entire B side of the album) in the late summer of 1968 at the radio station I worked for (KDNT-AM) in Texas. Before I had the chance of audition this I was invited by a friend to a Jefferson Airplane concert in Dallas where Iron Butterfly was the opening act. Knowing it was going to be long, when the song started I poked the guy next to me (another friend) and said "time this!" (he had a watch but I didn't). It was 27 minutes long!! Airplane was good, but Iron Butterfly stole the show.
My college age brothers came home from college with long hair and this album on cartridge disc. I was 12 and fell in love with that song and all the music they listened to. Still love it all.
Why do I have a feeling that I may be the youngest one among the commenters? Then again, through shows like the Simpsons growing, and my mom blasting old school Santana I grew a loving for this music at a very young age.
Have you ever noticed oh little town of Bethlehem' in the song at approximately 11:40 to 12:15 you can hear Oh little town of Bethlehem' played on the organ you will get a rush when you realize that it really in touch a amazing rock song !!!
in the spring of 1969 our senior class at mcdonogh school put on a senior follies to raise money for our senior prom. I was the singer in a throw together group who played this song. the senior class has asked me to put the band together for our 50th class reunion and play this song again. what great memories from the class of '69.
I first heard this due to one of the counselors at a ………Christian Summer Camp in the Berkshire Hills of Mass. he bought the album and played it for us. And I loved it!! I think I was 10 or 12 then. Still listening.
Jay Warren It is a potentiometer ("pot") on each input an audio console that determines how much audio from that input is shifted to the right channel or left channel in the mix. The radio in your car probably has one that shifts the sound from the left to right speakers. When the channel separation of each instrument or vocal is mixed appropriately, it has a more pleasing sound that all of one instrument being completely in one channel. Apple studios in London had the first console with this feature and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the first project to sue the technique.
Dave Mitchell They also used an early version of a Phaser that reverses the polarity of a balanced signal that makes it sound as though the audio is slowly turning over. It is hard to describe but you can easily recognize the effect
The place where you end up down in a basement/cavern sort of place and there's some ghouls and the guy who was writing the notes on the computers. Bobblehead on the way down, too.
The first true heavy metal song. This came out before Helter Skelter. The instrumentation is just dark and heavy, especially the part before "wont you come with me"
I remember being like 10 years old jamming this on vinyl.. I had the album but this was the only song I really liked on it so I listened to it over and over 😂
Who would believe that 48 yrs after this record was recorded that,one you can find an original recording anywhere. Well,look no more, because,not only do I have a copy of this record,but,its not open and still wrapped in its original plastic. Any interested in purchasing it please send me a message and we can talk. I actually have two copies,one slightly played.
My old high School used the drum beat part as the half time show to March in field, Fay Lee the best marching drum major that will ever lived, the band got invited to Washington DC to preform along with the Golden Spurs from JW Nixon High School Laredo Texas, home of the mighty Mustangs! Oh and the horse was our school song which was an accidental b side song played in Florida and became more famous than the a side of the record
Ask any old school rockers ( myself, I'm 56 ) " What is the earliest drum solo that you remember that you really liked " and the largest percent of people polled would probably reply " The drum solo from Wipe Out by The Safari's ( 1963 ) while 2nd place would most assuredly go to the drum solo from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida ( 1968 ). Myself, I'd be forced to go with Iron Butterfly.
Had the Rare Pleasure of meeting Doug Ingle in Orlando Fla. In 1983(ish) Iron Butterfly played our Club! It was called "Tom's Point After Lounge" ! He came in through the Kitchen, I recognized him "Immediately" and said Doug Ingle how ya Doin! I was making Nacho dip ! He came right up to me, and started eating those little green Jalapeño peppers like they were M&M's, and just kept on going Mmmmmm ! We laughed ! It was mid afternoon, I sat and talked to the Entire band and Crew ! They "Couldn't of been Nicer, Cool bunch of guy's! !!! I'm sure Most people know that the title was Supposed to be "In a Garden of Eden" But Doug's slant on the title sounded like In a Gadda da Vida, so it Stuck, lol !
I requested this at Sirius (or its precursor) and the announcer said "If we played that every time it was requested, that's all we would be playing - and refused to play it. That's when I gave Sirius away.
Okay, here's the Truth about that. Don't hear that, much these days. I was lucky enough to be in a progressive garage band that could do Latin Oldies and Top 40,z hard rock at the same Wedding or Dance Party Gig fifty years ago.16 years of age then, how cool is that? One of my favorite memories from that time we were playing the Wedding March for the newlyweds first dance and went right into Inna-gadda-davida. Awesome!!!
I'm 29 years old, a professional classical musician and can testify that this music is so much better than modern crap on so many levels....!
I'm 67 years old, even my Dad (he would have been 100 this year) who played in a "Big Band" in the late 1940s thought this was a pretty good tune.
I remember my Pop brought this album home and played it, and my Mom said it sounded like hippy funeral music. Lol I loved it.
🌈🤓✌️Classic✌️🤓😎
"Hippy Funeral Music". Thanks for putting that idea in my head.
I'm sure it will only live there rent free till I'm dead. 🤣
That is truly marvelous. Hippie Funeral Music. I love it. Like, "Groovy dirge, man. I know he woulda loved it. Dude was one far out cat."
I AM 66 YEARS OLD (Suzie Q the Cat ... 5 Years!!!)
We both agree that we were lucky enough to have
been a Witness . . . to the Best Music Ever!!!!!
If you're referencing Nas...well he loved this song so much he had to use it twice in his rap!

True music, written by true artists -- they could write & perform better drunk in a half hour than today's groups can do over weeks, sober!
This is the first album I ever bought! Awesome then & still as awesome 50 years later!

Knowing it was going to be long, when the song started I poked the guy next to me (another friend) and said "time this!" (he had a watch but I didn't). It was 27 minutes long!! Airplane was good, but Iron Butterfly stole the show.
In The Garden of Eden, by I. Ron Butterfly.
My college age brothers came home from college with long hair and this album on cartridge disc. I was 12 and fell in love with that song and all the music they listened to. Still love it all.
I think about Home Improvement and Tim and Jill dancing outside.
Why do I have a feeling that I may be the youngest one among the commenters?
Then again, through shows like the Simpsons growing, and my mom blasting old school Santana I grew a loving for this music at a very young age.
Same! And we who are Gen X bear the critical responsibility of passing the good music to the gen z and beyond! Proud to say my sons love this stuff!
When your dad walks around with a vacuous expression all day that doesn't change and you know he's been fuckin' blazin'.
Made fun of for decades, it's actually a quite involved love song, a suite for a sweet...
Have you ever noticed oh little town of Bethlehem' in the song at approximately
11:40 to 12:15 you can hear
Oh little town of Bethlehem' played on the organ you will get a rush when you realize that it really in touch a amazing rock song !!!
This might be called my hubby's and my song!!! Brings back so many memories!!!
this song always takes me back to my sanity
This was one of the first albums I ever bought. Still love it.
RIP Lee Dorman & Erik Brann
in the spring of 1969 our senior class at mcdonogh school put on a senior follies to raise money for our senior prom. I was the singer in a throw together group who played this song. the senior class has asked me to put the band together for our 50th class reunion and play this song again. what great memories from the class of '69.
I first heard this due to one of the counselors at a ………Christian Summer Camp in the Berkshire Hills of Mass. he bought the album and played it for us. And I loved it!! I think I was 10 or 12 then. Still listening.
Thank you!! In memory of our cousin Don Stroud 🙏💗
Complete left-right separation of instruments. This version preceded the pan pot by only a few months.
Dave Mitchell what is the "pan pot" ? yes i'm ignorant...asking genuinely ;-)
Jay Warren It is a potentiometer ("pot") on each input an audio console that determines how much audio from that input is shifted to the right channel or left channel in the mix. The radio in your car probably has one that shifts the sound from the left to right speakers. When the channel separation of each instrument or vocal is mixed appropriately, it has a more pleasing sound that all of one instrument being completely in one channel. Apple studios in London had the first console with this feature and "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was the first project to sue the technique.
Dave Mitchell They also used an early version of a Phaser that reverses the polarity of a balanced signal that makes it sound as though the audio is slowly turning over. It is hard to describe but you can easily recognize the effect
The Beatles sued the technique? Who won the lawsuit?
+Bad Speling Industries My keyboard certain didn't!
"This sounds like rock and OR roll"
"Hey, Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn?"
Simpsons, brought me here
Bart´s prank at church?
"In the Garden Of Eden, By I. Ron Butterfly"
This song is both awesome music and one of the funniest things ever
Beating on the back seat of my parents old '68' Plymouth Town & Country station wagon when I was free from high school...
drums, percussion, drums and more percussion. WOOT!
love that music it brings back a lot of memories
Reminds me of creeping around in the Dunwich Building in Fallout 3.
The creepy paranormal one? Because that was crazy as shit!
The place where you end up down in a basement/cavern sort of place and there's some ghouls and the guy who was writing the notes on the computers. Bobblehead on the way down, too.
Just the music gets me high, 💨💨💨
got to be the best drum solo ever done.
Legend of the one eyed sailor drum solo is close
Well it's not close to the best drum solo ever, but it's perfect for the song!
Time Life infomercials from the 90's brought me here 😃
William Hill ME TOO!
thanks to my big sister i grew up with this song best drum solo ever listen to it all the time
That drum solo could be heard being taped out on many a school desk.
@@paulsto6516 i know every drummer wants to play as well LOL
The first true heavy metal song. This came out before Helter Skelter. The instrumentation is just dark and heavy, especially the part before "wont you come with me"
Once listened to this backwards while on shrooms blew my goddamn mind
If I didn't have to worry about waking my partner, I would have LOLd loudly. Thank you for the tickly torture in my belly as I *do not* actually LOL
So awesome. I used to listen to this way back in my apartment days. Maybe a 🍄 or two as well.
LIstened to this with headphones, and stoned of course and it sounded like those drums were dancing all around your head! Ahhhh the good old days!
Even has the background hiss at the start that I remember so well. ;-)
I remember being like 10 years old jamming this on vinyl.. I had the album but this was the only song I really liked on it so I listened to it over and over 😂
Who would believe that 48 yrs after this record was recorded that,one you can find an original recording anywhere. Well,look no more, because,not only do I have a copy of this record,but,its not open and still wrapped in its original plastic. Any interested in purchasing it please send me a message and we can talk. I actually have two copies,one slightly played.
ok
ill buy it
Phil Spigner what kind of price you have in mind
My old high School used the drum beat part as the half time show to March in field, Fay Lee the best marching drum major that will ever lived, the band got invited to Washington DC to preform along with the Golden Spurs from JW Nixon High School Laredo Texas, home of the mighty Mustangs! Oh and the horse was our school song which was an accidental b side song played in Florida and became more famous than the a side of the record
that drum solo is the shit
Ask any old school rockers ( myself, I'm 56 ) " What is the earliest drum solo that you remember that you really liked " and the largest percent of people polled would probably reply " The drum solo from Wipe Out by The Safari's ( 1963 ) while 2nd place would most assuredly go to the drum solo from In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida ( 1968 ). Myself, I'd be forced to go with Iron Butterfly.
Blue Cheer, Summertime Blues, all time best drum solo.

Had the Rare Pleasure of meeting Doug Ingle in Orlando Fla. In 1983(ish) Iron Butterfly played our Club! It was called "Tom's Point After Lounge" ! He came in through the Kitchen, I recognized him "Immediately" and said Doug Ingle how ya Doin! I was making Nacho dip ! He came right up to me, and started eating those little green Jalapeño peppers like they were M&M's, and just kept on going Mmmmmm ! We laughed ! It was mid afternoon, I sat and talked to the Entire band and Crew ! They "Couldn't of been Nicer, Cool bunch of guy's! !!! I'm sure Most people know that the title was Supposed to be "In a Garden of Eden" But Doug's slant on the title sounded like In a Gadda da Vida, so it Stuck, lol !
I requested this at Sirius (or its precursor) and the announcer said "If we played that every time it was requested, that's all we would be playing - and refused to play it. That's when I gave Sirius away.
Saw them in 1991 in Stockton. Good show. They did the full version of this song {In the Garden of Eden LOL Simpson's reference}
First album I purchased in 67 I'm still enjoying now,people had to do mushroom and lsd then this is the song
Fun fact, the original title was supposed to be in the garden of eden, however a half gallon of wine later we got the classic Inna Gadda da vida
First time I became aware of this song was when Tim pranks Brad and Randy with an alien invasion on Home Improvement.
Okay, here's the Truth about that. Don't hear that, much these days. I was lucky enough to be in a progressive garage band that could do Latin Oldies and Top 40,z hard rock at the same Wedding or Dance Party Gig fifty years ago.16 years of age then, how cool is that? One of my favorite memories from that time we were playing the Wedding March for the newlyweds first dance and went right into Inna-gadda-davida. Awesome!!!
I was a young drummer and it was my favourite training music.
Just a little time ago. ^^
An iron butterfly is a type of options trade & strategy at the CBOE. It's a level III trade, it's quite complicated.
Hhhhh
In my opinion the GREATESt LP of all time!
