In the Garden of Eden. An absolute groundbreaker in rock. The guitarist was only 17. Ron Bushy’s drum solo is meditative, hypnotic. Doug Ingle’s voice is pre- grunge and his Bach on the organ is sublime. ❤
Just got my first job at 14 in 1968. My first month profit went to building model cars, airplanes and ships among other things. Records were all bought with my paper route money, with my first album were the Doors and then Iron Butterfly. What a time to grow up in.
I had this album when I was 13 years old in 1968, i wish i had all my old classic rock music albums back today. Nothing better than listening to a album on a good stereo system with a turntable. The music i grew up in the late 60’s and 70’s is still being played today on the radio. Great guitar playing with the wah wah pedals.
This is the song they are most known for, but they had so many others song that were just amazing. "Soul Experience" and "In The Time Of Our Lives" from the "Ball" album just to name a couple. Prog meets psychedelic. Just fantastic
I can't imagine what it was like to listen to this at 13 knowing the guitarist was only a couple years older than you. Just another reason parents hated them! I was only 3 when this came out but I'm lucky enough to say I saw them play in concert (all 4 original members) on their 20th anniversary tour in 1986. Erik Brann was still using his original pedal-board for his guitar. It was a 2-ft. square piece of plywood with all his pedals mounted on it with a mess of cables all over the place like spaghetti. And he was freaking out, having a hissy-fit, because he was getting a loud hum and couldn't figure out which cable was causing it and it delayed the start of the show for about 10 minutes
@@billhiggins1882 This would have been the perfect song, if you could have gotten your hands on some Thai stick. I think it was the next year my cousin came home on emergency leave for his younger brothers' funeral. Then back to Nam where he would eventually get captured. Escaped and recaptured and beaten quite badly. Not the good old days for those in the bush.
Not known for its lyrics but for its instrumentals, especially drum and organ passages. One of the earliest psychedelic heavy metal songs. The long version was very popular on the late-night or weekend playlists of FM stations on university campuses and a few progressive rock stations nationwide. It's a well-constructed song, not letting the ear/brain get too bored even tho many motifs are repeated. Quite a nice variety of rhythms and instrumentation. Early experimentation with fuzz-tone, channel-switching (left ear to right ear) and in the version with the video the flashing "lava lamp" amoeba blobs and other visual effects.
I smoked my fist joint too this song I was 13 at the time it change my life musically and life stile for the best Im now 68 and I still smoke the you iron butterfly
In 1969, I was a middle-schooler and the lead guitarist in a band called The Aluminum Room. We had to audition to play a high school dance, and they were only interested in hearing whether our drummer (Joey Paquin) could play the solo to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Joey nailed it and we got the gig!
I remember getting this album from my second cousin back in 1970. It blew my 12 year old mind. I listened to the side 2, with "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" taking up the whole thing countless times that it got to the point I could play the drum solo with my pencil drumsticks.
These guys played in my home town at our college and it was amazing with a light show to boot. they were very psychedelic and so heavy for late 60s music
Saw them in late 1968 at Indiana beach for $4.50, The drums solo was 35 min long it ended when the drummer fell off his Stool, drunk and stoned like the rest of us.
hello vin and sori first i have to apologize i don t speak english very well im german and im already 62 years old i heard in a gaada da vida it for the first time in 1974 when i was 12 years a boy the song was a big hit back then the best parts of the song is the drums and organ that sound first class and i still like it today you bothare still very young in my opnion im a old german boy hahaha by the way i like you music video show you do it very well my favorite band has been boston for 45 years and still today i suppose you boths don t understand german taht s way im trying it in english unfortunately my english is not so perfect i hope i don t have so many mistakes in my message and that you understand me i thank you boths very much for the great music show i wish yolu all the best and stay healthy take care
I still remember the vinyl record album I had back in the late 60's. I'm surprised I can still remember it as inebriated as I was when listening to it.Sori should have made herself up with rose color glasses and head scarf and went as a hippie couple at a love fest. She would have looked groovy!✌
All music is subjective. Some get it and some don’t. In the sixties drugs and music went hand in hand. I dropped acid back in the day. So imagine you are in your friends basement. It’s dark, fluorescent posters all about and everybody’s drinking beer and smoking pot. This song was played on a lot of turntables back then. It’s a real trip. In the days of songs lasting no more than 2:30 seconds, having a song like this was quite unique. But like any music, in spite of its historical significance, it’s definitely not for everyone. To each their own.
Biggest selling album of the year released in the US, selling 8 million copies which was the most of any recorded album at that time in the world. It has sold so far 32 million copies.
So many nights with the black light on memorizing every drum and guitar lick. BTW they didn't record it after drinking so much, just thought up the song. Although who's to say what they were on when they recorded it 🤔 😁
This song is known for its drumming. Everyone liked this song back then. It's a ten During the Vietnam War it was huge. It is played in alot of movies.
Only 2 guys from the 60's I can recall that could create sounds from a guitar and incorporate it to music was this guy, 17 yr old Erik Brann and Jimmy Hendrix. Brann was the Eddie Van Halen before there was an Eddie Van Halen. Jimmy Page could but he had yet come on that stage. This was a trip where he took her hand and took her through the psychedelic garden of eden.
The pot back then needed this music to get us over the top. They were just kids, 19 and this talented. This is hearing the foundation on which so many others have built and added on too. I don't often recommend songs but when I do, I always say Judas Priest.
I suppose you had to have been born in the 50s and lived through the 60s to appreciated the nature of this song. Prog rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock and a dash of lyrics. One must listen to the solos, not the verbiage!!!!
great song, stoned or not. many of us do not have to be in an alternate state to appreciate. It's just music, you either enjoy or not. Seems like most young reactors (I'm 70) have to have a literal interpretation of the music before appreciation commences.
Oh yeah, you can't listen to this sober. In fact, the title "In a Gaada da Vida" translates to "In the Garden of Eden" if you're really, really high. The birth of heavy metal? Check out "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. There are several "long versions" of rock songs between 17 and 22 minutes because that was the maximum length of one side of an album.
Since I was a little kid this song has always sounded like an Adam's Family or The Munsters tribute jam......or something played only on Halloween. Try'n be all spooky and shit.
I’m laughing, I mean aside from the drug discussion you guys kinda sound like my parents. I’m not sure that people who didn’t live that era can fully appreciate this stuff, and maybe shouldn’t even try. There are so many things that are taken for granted today that were in their infancy or just being invented as kids listened to each other, not to mention every production session was ground breaking almost by definition. 6 years later this was old hat and bad prog if you could even call it that but people knew where things came from. I dig the getup btw lol and the attempt at sorting it out but I also get where it could seem just long and weird. At the time it was a counter culture treasure & in some respects still is.
No!!! You have to do this again. We'll forego the drugs required to properly enjoy this song, but you at least need the blacklight and some posters in dark room when you hear this song. You need to sit indian style on the floor and just let the sound vibrations wash over you closed eyes see music the best

Fun fact: The Drummer never stops playing thru the entire song. He has no breaks
Went to a junior senior prom a ND this was played resulting in conga line that lasted till the end of the song
I remember when my big brother brought this album home. It changed everything. By By Monkees!
This is the song they are most known for, but they had so many others song that were just amazing. "Soul Experience" and "In The Time Of Our Lives" from the "Ball" album just to name a couple. Prog meets psychedelic. Just fantastic
Easy Rider, Butterfly Bleu (another long song), Slower than Guns are great too.
If you were 13 in 1968 like I was, you would have loved this! One of the most famous drum solos in rock history.
Was 17. Yep, played it over and over when it came out. 🤘

@@chrisjamieson3452 when this came out I was in viet nam, so I was able to get some good herb. Lol
Legend of this song was that the original name of the song was 'In the garden of Eden' but the lead singer was so hammered it came out Inagota Davita
Pretty cool stoner party black light/strobe light memories of this song
Lead guitarist Erik Brann was only 17 when this was recorded. Amazing!
Great Drum solo

Absolute ear candy 🍭
In the 70s this was an anthem
I smoked my fist joint too this song I was 13 at the time it change my life musically and life stile for the best Im now 68 and I still smoke the you iron butterfly
It's weird. Crazy. And wonderful.

The radio version of this song was used to great effect in Michael Mann's film Manhunter, based on Thomas Harris's book: Red Dragon.
The organist's father was a preacher, and he learned to play in his father's church.

Bassline sounds like sunshine of your love by cream
Saw this live at Michigan palace Detroit when it came out... great tune

There is more than just corn in Indiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRK!?!
Youngsters..., here's a true drum solo.., that has yet to be matched in time. Keep on Rocking pleasell
Took me back quite a few years. Just made me put my headphones in and light up a bowl just like I used to do back then.

in 68 this was unheard of. AM radio didn't know what to do with a top ten song that was 17 minutes long. used to play it at 9 PM on Wed, for weeks.

It's hard to imagine the world that this song was created in devolving into the one we live in today.
1968 me and my friend sat in their living room in Granada Hills while they rehearsed
"Is this rock and or roll?"
We have 2 copies of this album. I had mine & my wife had hers when we met.
This song was the only song on one side of the LP.
One word justifies this song: acid.
It's a psychedelic love song that you can dance to.
Biggest selling album of the year released in the US, selling 8 million copies which was the most of any recorded album at that time in the world. It has sold so far 32 million copies.
This is the very first concert i ever went to and the played the whole song
This should be listened to at sunrise while riding on a hardtail chopper under influence of whiskey and amph.
Its 10!
In a Gadda Da Vida was actually to be "In the garden of Eden."
Boone's Farm, hash and some shrooms nice psychedelic rock
They sing this song in a Simpson's episode as a church hymn.
In the Garden of Eden baby.
My dad slept to iron butterfly. He had horrible nightmares of Vietnam, as he was a Tunnel Rat. Standing 5 ft 4.
Slayer does a cover of this song! This song was in the movie "Manhunter"
LSD Music 🤣🤣🔥🔥
So many nights with the black light on memorizing every drum and guitar lick.
BTW they didn't record it after drinking so much, just thought up the song. Although who's to say what they were on when they recorded it 🤔 😁
They were definitely on some hard shit lmao listening to this I can't imagine the guys not being stoned af while recording this... It's just so smooth
A four and a two? I'm too cool to be subscribed to this channel.
Agree, first time visiting this channel and wondering what music they actually into. I probably dont want to know
thx DJ Nick
Slayer has a great cover of this on the Less than Zero soundtrack.
Ron is playing drums with his eyes closed
Enter The IRON BUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is known for its drumming. Everyone liked this song back then. It's a ten
During the Vietnam War it was huge. It is played in alot of movies.
Back in the day, the ONLY way people listened to this song was while being STONED.
😂😂😂
Vin the reason the bass line sounds so familiar is because it was sampled in the Nas song “Thief’s theme”
In the garden of Eden
by I.Ron Butterfly y'all!

Right, it's a musical representation of the Garden of Eden. Most people miss that.
They recorded this for their second album in 1968 but they had been playing it for quite a while as part of their live act at the Whisky a Go Go.
Theme music to Manhunter the prequel to Silence of the lambs.. amazing piece of psychedelic musical layering.
The live version of In a Gadda Da Vida is 30 minuets long.
The pot back then needed this music to get us over the top. They were just kids, 19 and this talented. This is hearing the foundation on which so many others have built and added on too. I don't often recommend songs but when I do, I always say Judas Priest.
when this album came out it came with a hit of acid
Eric Bran (Lead Guitarist) Was Just 17 when he recorded this album....
I suppose you had to have been born in the 50s and lived through the 60s to appreciated the nature of this song. Prog rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock and a dash of lyrics. One must listen to the solos, not the verbiage!!!!
Did you hear “tidings of comfort and joy”?
great song, stoned or not. many of us do not have to be in an alternate state to appreciate. It's just music, you either enjoy or not. Seems like most young reactors (I'm 70) have to have a literal interpretation of the music before appreciation commences.
Best drum solo ever recorded
Woo! I'm #1 baby!! I'm saving up for a special song to get you to review...
You really need be on acid or magic mushrooms to truly enjoy this one 😂
Oh yeah, you can't listen to this sober. In fact, the title "In a Gaada da Vida" translates to "In the Garden of Eden" if you're really, really high.

No it doesn't. Vida translates to life. It's In The Garden Of Life.
@@allengator1914 its a corruptions of In the Garden of Eden (via intoxication)
@@nim4464 Believe what you want to, but you're wrong. Vida translates to LIFE!
In the garden of Eden
I like Slayer's version of this song.
Magicians Birthday is something you might like 10 min URIAH HEEP
R.I.P. Doug Ingle
One of the few times where the song is longer than your commentary.
🤣
It's not the same unless you tripping
Stoner rock
In the thr garden of edan
There is a death metal version of this song!
Can’t name the band?
It´s Slayer from the 1987 album "Less than zero". Great cover!
Fact. He was so high on cocaine that he shot. That all he could say was INNA GODDA DAVIDA, WHich means In the Garden Of Eden
the guitarist was17 at the time
Since I was a little kid this song has always sounded like an Adam's Family or The Munsters tribute jam......or something played only on Halloween. Try'n be all spooky and shit.
