  • IRON BUTTERFLY IN-A GADDA DA-VIDA~IN HD BEST FULL VERSION
    The song is considered significant in rock history because, together with music by Blue Cheer, Jimi Hendrix and Steppenwolf, it marks the time period when psychedelic music began to form heavy metal. In 2009, it was named the 24th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.
    A commonly related story says that the song's title was originally "In the Garden of Eden", but at one point in the course of rehearsing and recording, singer Doug Ingle got drunk and slurred the words, creating the mondegreen that stuck as the title. However, the liner notes on 'the best of' CD compilation state that drummer Ron Bushy was listening to the track through headphones, and could not clearly distinguish what Ingle said when he asked him for the song's title. An alternate explanation given in the liner notes of the 1995 re-release of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album, is that Ingle was drunk, high, or both, when he first told Bushy the title, and Bushy wrote it down. Bushy then showed Ingle what he had written, and the slurred title stuck.

    I was lying in a bunk in Vietnam in 1969 listening to this song over and over again, and never got tired of it. It put me somewhere else then where I was mentally!

    Got out of the Canadian military after 20 years. Had enough. The year was 1966 and I was 32 years old. Went way up north and fell in with a bunch of hippies. Something else! Got into the weed and listening to Iron Butterfly a lot. Sure a different life than the military. Fell in love, etc. etc. Now I'm an old fart and still listening to Iron butterfly. Wonderful times. Peace everyone.

    My dad died today. He was 55 and I am 25. He battled alcoholism his entire life unsuccessfully. When I was a kid he made me sit down and listen to this song on tape in the living room; I'll always have him to thank for that. RIP Dad.

    My brother was in Vietnam when he came back home he bought a real to real, one of the songs was this one. We lived in a small town where everyone could here when he played this song. 10 years later we lost him to a house fire. When I am thinking of him I play this song and it makes me smile because of the fun we had back in those days listening.

    This was one of the first albums I ever owned. It was in a used car my parents bought. It was a 1968 Dodge Duster 2. The album was on eight track tape and I could only play it in my parent's car. There were two other tapes in thta car, The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour and The Ventures in Space. These three albums are what formed my tastes in music to this day.

    I was a young enlisted man in the US Air Force when this album came out. Spent many evenings in my barracks room listening as the 33 LP spun this song out, over and over again. Especially loved the drum solo that would move from one side of the room to the other. Thanks for making it available again.

    They reunited in the 80's and a friend and I walked in on a rehearsal at The Corral in Topanga Canyon. All the original members were present.Small club but concert sound system they had it cranked to stadium volume. So, of course they played THIS. We thought the roof and walls were going to CAVE. Epic I'll never forget it.

    my grandpa lived in California in the 60s and before he passed a few years ago him and my aunt went on a road trip to California. They were in San Francisco when this song came on the radio. My grandpa, a Navy veteran and generally serious man, chuckles when he hears this song. My aunt asks him what he is laughing about. His response, "Candace, I was a young single man in San Francisco in the mid 60's. I experienced some things." and that was all he would speak on the topic. To this day I wonder what my young 20-something grandpa did in California.

    Watch and observe, children. They PLAY their instruments and sing with
    competence. They know their instruments and have spent a lot of time
    practicing and learning their skill. No Autotune. No computerization
    doing it for them. This is something called talent. Talent was a skill
    from decades ago before Autotune, before computerization, before the
    record industry picked young people to become stars based on visual
    appeal and how far a person would go with publicity stunts to create
    shock value. These talented musicians of the past had creativity,
    commitment, flair, skill, and put in a lot of time writing and polishing
    their songs. Many of them read what is called sheet music. Sheet
    music is a kind of language for music using what is called notes. Sheet
    music and notes kind of equate to learning how to write language and
    use what is called grammar. Grammar are the rules and guidelines of
    language. Music has a grammar to it, as well. In both writing language
    and music, creativity may be used to create magnificent songs, such as
    the one on this video. However, you will have to learn what is called
    discipline. Discipline requires something called work. Discipline and
    work will give you the means to learn how to actually sing and play
    instruments on your own without computerized assistance. Once you
    become good with singing and playing instruments, something called your
    self-esteem will improve. You will develop a sense of what is called
    accomplishment, like these young lads in the video.

    I remember one of the band members coming into the market I worked at back in the 60's. It was a big deal to me. Also the Bear from Canned Heat use to come in with his mother. Anyway, I remember getting so high to this, and that part that sounds like an animal screaming would make for a bad trip. Damn this has always been one of my very favorite drum sets. The other is Cream - Toad, Baker was like 2 people playing the drums on that. WISH I HAD A TIME MACHINE. Kids listen to me. 40 or 50 years goes by in a flash. Don't waste it.

      I think it was. Big hall in downtown Baltimore, got my pocket picked for the first time standing in line at the door. But it's been a long long time and I don't know Baltimore at all.

    The greatest of all time, even applied to today. It was a milestone, not just in terms of music, but the concept of longer pieces being performed/played. It became an experience, not merely a song. Tantamount to the computer taking over from the typewriter.

    Tenía 12 años cuando In a garden of Eden, estaba de moda no podía faltar en cualquier reunión de estudiantes de secundaria. Hasta el día de hoy es mi melodía preferida en ese tipo de rolas y aún la bailo, me levanta el ánimo tremendamente cuando estoy decaída. Siempre me gustó la versión larga.

    Lyrics: in a gadda da vida 17:04
    In a gadda da vida honey
    Don't you know that im loving you
    In a gadda da vida baby
    Don't you know that I'll always be true
    Oh won't you come with me
    And take my hand
    Oh won't you come with me
    And walk this land
    Please take my hand

    My buddy Sly died yesterday of a heart attack . He really loved this song and said it was too long. It was 2 days ago he told me this was his music in his early day .. but all i can hear in this song now is a deferent sound and feel a different feel . I cant feel it as i did before hearing it the first time .

    This song has haunted me for years and I cant believe I have finally found it! I've heard this song play throughout my life since I was a kid. First heard it as a kid in the Simpsons, then Supernatural, then many other parts of media and just recently in American Horror Story Coven. I couldn't take it anymore and finally found it! I've always loved classic rock since childhood. My life is complete. I would sure hate to die and never hear that one song that has haunted me for years.

    Saw 'em live 1969 Filmore West. The drummer had tape over his eyes, got fucked up at last nights party. He played this solo blind, perfect. Some guy came up behind him and offered a him honkin' smokey joint. He was shakin' his head, "no no no". I was right up close in The Garden of Eden. It was Far Out!

    This is a great timeless classic song which truly defines the late sixties hippie generation! I wish I could have experienced life in that time period but I wasn't born until 1979. Regardless of that, I truly love and cherish listening to this classic music while knowing full well it was all during a time when it was the only thing these tremendously gifted musicians could do as a way of protesting the Vietnam war. For those of people who were still at home during the time that our soldiers were over in Vietnam fighting, they at least had this incredible music to listen to in order to keep themselves entertained.
    God Bless the hippie music of the late sixties!!
