    RIP Ron Bushy, passed away from cancer August 29th, 2021 at 79 years old. The original drum solo architect. Remember folks, Led Zeppelin opened for THEM in 1969! Before anyone heard of John Bonham and Bonzo's legendary drum solos, there was Ron Bushy.

      IMO Ron Bushy both on the record and here plays the best drum solos ever heard from a rock band. Most drummers, even the great ones, just make lots of noise when they solo. Ron Bushy’s solos sound musical, all the way through.

    RIP Doug Ingle who passed away last Friday (5-24-24). Lead singer and keyboardist of Iron Butterfly. Doug wrote In A Gadda Da Vida. The lineup on this version of the song is the lineup I saw at the first concert I ever attended in my lifetime of seeing the greatest bands in the world ever since I was only 13. Obviously Iron Butterfly had an impact on me and shaped how I hear music. The only member still living is guitarist Mike Pinera and I am told he has been in a hospital fighting for his life quite some time now.

    At 79 y/o I still remember hearing this song when it was released for the first time.....I couldn't believe the sounds I was hearing in it's arrangement. So different, so strangely compelling at the same time. One of the true classics of the late sixties and early seventies. There was no better time to be a young and witness the great music that came from this era.

So long ago......LA/Pasadena area....can't remember which.....but it was a great night. Had it been announced prior to that night the place would have been jammed to the rafters. They brought their own guitars but if I remember right, which I might not, but I believed the drummer (Ron) used the house band's drum kit. From what we found out later they were getting ready to do a tour.....a lot of well known bands would do that prior to going on tour......just come to small clubs and do small sets. Great night. We were high as a kite.....great frame of mind to listen to this group.....loved it. Frankly I had no idea it was filmed or on UA-cam until tonight.

The concert was a Cosmic Church experience. We all processed down the isles slowly, reverently, in perfect step with the driving rhythm. Our minds and hearts immersed in spectacular lights and Love. Everyone in that hall was one with each other, one with the band and the band was one with us.

    How I love this song from the Iron Butterfly, especially the longer version, it’s one of my favorites from them. I love the instrumental solos, and drums and drummer, lot of rhythm and resonance here. I’m glad I grew up in this era of music, from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s rock n roll era, a time when music was fun and enjoyable to listen to, and especially to dance to, and which I did a lot of it, including live performances without all the technical crap with today’s music. It was more simple, natural to hear each instrument, than today’s music with the technological advances involved. I had many records from many artists/musicians then and I sure wish I had them now, lost them while moving to another town….they always helped chase the blues away. I’m 74, and still listen to many of these songs whenever I can find them. I thank you for sharing this, and I’m grateful to have found this one here with the longer version….thank you….👍❤️🥰

    Mike Pinera & Rhino Reinhardt (seen here in this video) were good guitarists & were in the group for Butterfly's 4th album, Metamorphosis. But it was Eric Brann that did the iconic guitar work for In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida. Brann left the band in late 1969 over creative differences. He was amazing!

Rhino went with the original singer of Deep Purple Rod Evans and formed Captain Beyond with Bobby Caldwell.

    Hah! I was in a band in high school & we played about 4 tunes from Iron Butterfly. The drummer picked up tickets for us to see them at the Filmore East in NYC. We made fun of the name of the opening act because it was similar to Iron Butterfly-iron is heavy, a butterfly is light, we thought it was a cover band or something! When "Led Zeppelin" took the stage, we freaked out. We had never heard anything like it. We had great seats, we enjoyed Iron Butterfly, but we had our minds blown away by that opening band.

    As a drummer, I can say for myself that you will never feel more naked than doing a long drum solo. This solo was sensational, well thought-out, with a plan of attack. You can do a long solo if you plan it. Doing it live, and keeping it under control, is difficult live, because you have adrenaline unlike what you have in the studio. I love this tune, and this solo. It was the first solo I ever tried at age 13...it wasn't as good...

    So glad I could spend my youth listening to the best rock music ever.

So we went up to the smoke room, lit some is n drank some beer, put on In the Godda of Vida , an was completely blown away 💯🎶🎶🎶🎶 by them that day , we must’ve played that song aleast 3 times in a row, an I will never forget that beat n song I’m n my 60s n still remember that special day and moment, that changed the way I listen to different kinds of music, I thought at first it was satanic music at first, but as I listen to the words a changed my perspectives of the song and the music, absolutely fantastic sounds n musicians, watched this video n was blown away again 💯 thanks for the mind reboot 😊🎶🎶 long live Iron Butterfly 🦋

I'm knocking 70 now, but my heart still beats to the steady rhythm of Ron Bushy's solo. When it ceases to do so, I would have lived a better life because of bands like Iron Butterfly. To my fellow soldiers in our town, and the freedom seeking ezy riders, rest easy in the garden of eden when the journey ends. Peace out.

    Some of the best eye hand coordination and rhythmic skills I have ever seen from any drummer ever! I think the iron butterfly drummer set the tone for drumming! Yes there was Keith Moon John Bonham and others but this dude smacked the drums like no other! 😁🙏😁🎆🎼🎵

    One of the greatest drum solos of all time. This even longer than my original LP album.

      don't really understand your premise, l'm a musician and play odd music, from jazz to classical and some rock. but when l heard this tune for the first time, it blew my fucking mind, this tune has depth in originality, it's complex and above everything else, that sound! that church organ sound with the low voice of the lead singer and of course the amazing drum solo...l could go on and on. but l'll leave it at that.

      agreed, the church organ sound, to heavy metal . . . .back then, no one did such things, and then, back then, a lot of experiments were tried, and many worked
