Thank you for posting your retrospective. I've followed the band for over 50 years. I bought this photo album at an Iron Butterfly concert in the 70s, but lost it along the way. Keep yours in good shape and thank you again!
Thank for the nice Doug Ingle Tribute. The outside photos were taken around Central Park New York. Doug’s Dad (Lloyd Ingle) was a Church Organist and an accountant. Doug was just under a year old when the family moved from Nebraska to Evergreen Colorado where Doug’s father Lloyd Ingle played the Church Organ there in Evergreen Colorado and the little old white painted Church is still there to this very day. Doug was eleven yrs old when the family then moved to San Diego California where his father then played the Church Organ at a Church in La Mesa. Doug’s father professionally was an accountant as he did graduate from Drake University in Iowa earning two degrees being Music and accounting. Doug’s father Lloyd Ingle was born and raised in Iowa.
R.I.P Doug. A wonderful voice and such a gentleman and gracious person. He was the only surviving original member, now all 4 original members are hopefully all together again in pure spirit. I have always said, the In-a-gadda-da-vida album is the cheapest HOLY GRAIL album you will ever buy.
What about the last two albums "Sun and Steel" and "Scorching Beauty" from 1975. I was disappointed Doug Ingle wasn't involved in those last 2 slbums. Those were intended to be Erik Braun solo records anyway.
Thanks for showing the book--I had never seen the insides. Was very saddened by Doug's passing. Iron Butterfly was my first concert in 1969. They announced from the stage that they were recording it for a live album, and a few months later Iron Butterfly Live came out.
You were there, wow! I forgot to mention, I used to have that too as a kid. Never really liked the sped-up rendition of “In-A-Ganda…”, but I’ve probably warmed up to it now.
I love that great find concert program. Nice score. "The" Iron Butterfly and all of their off-shoot bands, Captain Beyong. Mike Pinera with Thee Image and New Cacrus band. But it was their earliest LP's were so haunting vocals and heavy organ sound Just a psychedelic morphing into early heavy metal. Thanks for the news. RIP Doug Ingle.
They were a band way ahead of their time and hence they introduced the world to the psychodelic era with their amazing innovation of sound and engineering technology
I got turned on to Iron Butterfly in early 1968. They were a great band, and I was sorry when Erik Brann left. When I bought Metamorphosis in 1970, I said, "Who the heck is Mike Pinera and Larry Reinhardt?" Metamorphosis turned out to be my favorite Iron Butterfly album. With Doug's passing, I believe that Mike Pinera, (a fabulous guitarist) is the only surviving member of that era, although I hear that Mike has been quite ill. RIP, Doug and all the original members who have left us.
Metamorphosis also shares a special place in my appreciation of Iron Butterfly. Those snarling Gibsons, the songwriting, the early recorded use of talk box effects on Butterfly Bleu...
I got turned on to the band by their tune Soul Experience. I thought the psychedelia was mainly the guitar playing. Great music from that era, never to be duplicated in my life!
Am I the only one who eventually liked and appreciated the "Scorching Beauty" LP after a few plays? I was a fan of Erik Braun also! Still need to find "Sun And Steel" again... My fave Iron Butterfly LP would be "Heavy" but I like them all!
Cool find Derek. When you first put your hand on it, I thought it looked a little small for an album, and wondered if it was a 10" release! I'd of probably grabbed it if I'd stumbled across it. They certainly left a legacy behind them. R.I.P. Doug.🦋
Erik quit in December '69, by which time his replacements had been rehearsing with the band for about three months. He formed Flintwhistle with fellow IB alum Darryl DeLoach, and produced a handful of fine early '70's demos.
Aloha Derek I still have my copy of the hardback program, but, not as nice as yours. My classmate went to see Iron Butterfly in 1968- 1969 here in Honolulu Hawaii with his older brother, when we were in the 7th grade, my friend said Iron Butterfly only played two songs it was about one & a half hour concert. Lol... My personal favorite record album is Iron Butterfly Heavy 🦋. I recall going to a Swapmeet here in Honolulu, & buying a framed Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida gold record album which was in a shipping box address to Lee Dorman he was living or had an office at Century Center here in Honolulu. I no longer have it gave it to a friend who was in remission from leukemia at that time. Anyway thanks for jogging my memory. Thanks again for another great video. Looking forward to watching your next video. Mahalo Ed
I've always heard some stories of the other members going backstage for a smoke break while Ron was doing his drum solos. 😂 I listened to their live sessions around this time too. They held up pretty well.
We all hear things , but I remember hearing Led Zep knocked them off the top of the charts with their first album ? And DJs would play it to have time to go to the bathroom or go out back and burn one ;^)
I notice that sometimes right after I leave a comment, it’ll disappear for a minute or two. Then it’ll appear publicly or I have to scroll down to find it. But if it’s lengthy, I’ll copy all of what I said just in case. Sorry man haha. But yes, what a timely find.
Saw them twice but never with Doug. Lee and Ron were there though. RIP The Band :( I saw that book somewhere once but do not remember where. There is still some form of the band with a concert scheduled in California this summer. Heavy and Ball both GREAT ! I like the two from 1975 with Eric fronting the band too. Metamorphosis is cool. Inagaddadivida is ok but do not feel the need to play that one too much.

I played all of my Iron Butterfly albums this weekend, including the phenomenal live album. Such a great band, definitely far from a one hit wonder.
What about the last two albums "Sun and Steel" and "Scorching Beauty" from 1975. I was disappointed Doug Ingle wasn't involved in those last 2 slbums. Those were intended to be Erik Braun solo records anyway.
@luiscardenas930 I could never get into those two later LPs.
Doug was my first musical hero. RIP
I always thought it was cool that Doug Ingle was born right here in Nebraska! RIP to Doug and all the members of the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida lineup.
Same here. Anybody who succeeded well in the music scene from Nebraska will always get recognized over here.
A great band who influenced many with their music.
RIP. The great Doug Ingle..🎹🎹🎹🎹
Thank you for this blessing post.
Ron Bushy passed away in 2021. Stars/Musicians/People who were a big part of my young years are disappearing one person at a time

LOVE "Scorching Beauty"!

Thanks Derek. I thought that your book was an album cover, too. - Chris
Looks like these photos were shot in Central Park, New York City
Nice tribute ! ✌️

What a talent Doug Ingle was.
