R.I.P. Doug Ingle...the last butterfly
I still have Heavy, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, and Ball, on original vinyl that I bought new as a teenager. I was always a fan.
Very Cool! In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, was the first alum I ever bought. As a young teenage drummer, Bushy's solid drumming influenced me greatly.
When I was a teen I got to play a dual drum solo with Ron Bushy to demo some new fiberglass drums. What an amazing drummer!
I was fortunate to have seen Iron Butterfly with the original 5 members, not long after their first album was released. The show was on the Sunset Strip. I don't recall the name of the venue. My future wife & I really enjoyed watching Daryl DeLoach work the tambourine.
Metamorphosis is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and try it out. The addition of Pinera and Rhino brought the band to a new level of excellence. After all of these years, it still sounds fresh and innovative. Shortly after its release the band broke up and Lee Dorman and Larry Rhineheart formed the band Captain Beyond and recorded their brilliant debut album, also very worth checking out.
You’re absolutely right about Metamorphosis. Get it in high definition format. Amazing and timeless.
Great album as is Captain Beyonds first album. My friend Jamie toured with Captain Beyond as their guitarists. I miss alot of these bands so much talent.
Thank you Ron....appreciated by the Butterfly Army😅
Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida, the ONLY drum solo that I ever loved! (...and I am a drummer) 👍😎👍
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was the first LP I ever bought. In sixth grade Using money from my paper route. Getting up at 5 o'clock every morning. Always a fan and happy to find this video! Also... Covered the great song "Soul Experience" from the "Ball" album in my 1st band... The bass intro is genius!
Iron Butterfly was the 1st real concert I ever saw , it was 1974🤔 1973 ? in Smithers BC , Canada .
From what my memory of it was , it was excellent .... I'm 64 now .
In the garden of eden.... wow... the solution to the puzzle after decades. thank you so !! this song was played in our club over years and is today the best example to explain "analog" , the voice is so unique and goes deep into someone, the drums a masterpeace
I thought "In The Garden of Eden" was commen knowledge. I heard Ron's story as a kid. On the liner notes maybe?
I was lucky enough to see them on their last tour with Doug Ingle - what a precious moment!
Saw Iron Butterfly on the metamorphosis tour with black oak and John manning!! Killer show by all!!
When Doug Ingle says... "Next Song is an Iron Butterfly Original, We Call It... Gentle As It May Seem"...
🦋 The recording is the actual Live Audio from the "Galaxy" on Sunset Blvd. Wonderfully trashy as the audio would have been in those days. I love it.
Thank you for finally setting the record straight.
Back in 1969 i had the pleasure of getting to see them play at The Atlantic City Pop Fest & then at The Shady Grove Music Fair in MD. What a fine show they turned in at both concerts & at Shady Grove at the end of Inna gadda da vida Eric stepped back & knock over one of the two huge lamps they had on each side of the stage & they were filled with lamp oil & had these long flames shooting up during the crescendo & it started a fire onstage but they played though it & we all thought is a part of the show but it sure wasn't & thankfully the roadies ran out before it really got going & got it out out . Smoke all over the Hall & everyone cheering !!! That's one show i will never forget & was only 14 & had my older sister who was one of two hippie gals of the 60s & i was learning to play guitar so they took me to many great concerts till i was old enough to drive. AH the 60s & early 70s were way to much fun. Sad that Iron Butterfly missed their spot at Woodstock as that would have a sight to see & hear. So close as The Atlantic City Pop Fest was two weeks before Woodstock & The Texas International Pop Fest was two weeks after Woodstock. My folks wouldn't let me go to Woodstock but my sisters did . many acts from Atlantic City did play at Woodstock as well. Iron butterfly was one fun & creative bands & all the guitarists were killer players as was Doug & Lee & though Ron was a simple player he had good chops & feel & they were sort of strapped down by Vida but those albums all had great songs on them as did the new band after Eric split .
Wore out many copies of Metamorphosis! My fav was Butterfly Bleu 🤘🏻
I like there album ball which I had as a kid. And inagaddavida of coarse
TRES Heavy
I looooovvve the Metamorphosis album... wish they'd done more.
Always loved "So-lo". Because it was was on the debut, pre-fame album, it seems to get passed over, but it's hooky as hell.
Flip Inna Over! 🧇 🦋
love that car from the beginning parts, looks almost like my bugeye sprite
I thought I was the only one who still loved their music. Everyone loves the tale of how when they played with Zep in 1969, Zep stole the show. What some of these bands went through to get just a modicum of success is unbelievable. Yes, I agree. Metamorphosis! And "Ball" is much better than people know. I have a great LP copy in that funky gatefold with someone's name written in red magic marker on that bright yellow cover. The LP itself is NM.
Opening for the "Iron Butterfly" (then one of the world's biggest bands) on January 31, 1969 at New York's Fillmore East was Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones).
Robert Plant noted... "Pagey and I managed to get our hands on an advance test pressing of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" a month before it was released, and we literally wore it out by playing it all the time!
I remember how astonished we all were that someone had actually managed to break the seventeen minute barrier. And if you listen very hard (to coin a phrase)... "You can hear a lot of Iron Butterfly on our early albums, especially in my lyrics and Bonzo's drumming style”.
--Robert Plant
That's the song you wanted with the girl you crushed on for the last dance.

I was at the Newport Pop Festival & the band was stellar! The Chambers Brothers also went down a storm. Sony & Cher got booed during their intro! Were parts of the video AI generated? It also sounded like his voice was AI also. It does make the dialog more interesting to listen to with imagery even though at times it is a bit far fetched.
Yea, it definitely has that weird uncanny valley AI thing going on. But interesting none the less.

Funny how they played on the same bill with Led Zeppelin.
With both bands having that Heavy/Light theme to their names...
Iron Butterfly 🦋
Led Zeppelin 🔥. Also...

I could not listen to this with the background noise. TERRIBLE!
