Anyone else notice that the organ solo from 11:24 to about 12:24 is actually a variation on the Christmas carol, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen? I saw the Iron Butterfly perform this in concert around 1970 or 1971--it was great!
Great song,,I grew up in the sixties ,..Love the music , but hate the cameramen..They seemed to think we were more interested in looking at the musicans noses than actually seeing them play..
@dynodon1000 ... The song is great and I love the cameramen... especially at 2:13... there's nothing wrong with the 'views' and u can always listen to the music even if u can't actually see how they played it... ;-)

I saw them in Boston back in 1970. Two nights in a row at a place called The Boston Tea Party. (I don't think the new tea party would approve). They did this song for over 30 min and then invited anyone in the audience to come up on stage and jam with them. Played this full blast on my 8 track in my 1970 Olds 442. Yeah baby.
@lifeiznuts I hear it means In the Garden of Eden. They were so stoned on something that the singer could not say it right and it came out In a Gadda Da Vida. Makes sense..
I've just been looking at a site called 'Cracked.com', it puts up loads of stuff that, if remembered, would make you a continual winner in any quiz game, but maybe not real popular.
Iron Butterfly get a mention in the category, - 'The 5 most inspiring things ever accomplished, (while drunk). (Cracked.com).
True or not, it sounds pretty good to me, here goes. (go to Box#2).
(when our two boys first heard this, they were blown away)
'1968 was not a good year for Iron Butterfly - their first album, 'HEAVY' had just been released, and it was doing so well that their drummer, Ron Bushy, 'was supporting the band by making pizza'.
When Ron came back from work one evening to find Doug Ingle, Iron butterfly's primary Composer, drunk (er, than usual), after pounding an entire bottle of Red Mountain wine, Ingle was "Playing this song (Go to Box#3).
@NEAPULA In 1968 this type of music was called "acid rock," forerunner of heavy metal. The Beatles were going in more melodius directions, as they always did. But this type of music was great to just sit and bob your head to. Especially if you were high on something, I suppose. Until the word became a cliche', this would have been called, "groovy." Grooooooovy......
@super8m0nsters You're right....just wanted to the plays .. I saw theses guys live in '65 on Acid at The Galaxy Club, next to the Whiskey on the strip. Holly Shit, blew me away.
Wouldn't it be a trip if you like walked into the Crystal Cathedral or something with millions of hippies and people from weird countries and planets all over the place, and the organist was jamming on this number? Then the preacher gave a sermon in Mandarin Chinese and passed around a plate filled with strange party favors? I'd start attending church I think.
Man, I hate to bum you all out, but, man, the real name of this song, man, is "In the Garden of Eden". One band member was so wasted, man, that he slurred it to it's popular name. Now, does "inna gadda da vida" really make any sense, man? Sorry if I brought you down, man. Drop another hit, man.
My oldest brother was in nam he had been hit pretty bad. When he came half ass to, he was on a Medivac chopper and on the ceiling was a butterfly psycadeically painted , he was all jacked on morphine and blairing in the speakers was In the Gadda Da Vida...and the chopper was called the Iron Butterfly...
@0819kirby That's a cool story. Man, those guys in the military just did not give a fuck about military SOP back in that war. I think they had the attitude that "hey, fuckface, you sent me here against my will, I'll do, say and act as I please as long as I kill some fucking dinks"...seriously, that was a prevailing attitude of, especially, ground troops. My dad was one and he had some crazy stories. Tripping on LSD there? Fucking crazy. Please don't mistake my words for negativity.
@Arioch161 I actually recalled a man's comments after I posted that. He was the father of a girl I was hanging around. I brought this cd, skynyrd, zepplin, etc. with me to her place. I put Iron Butterfly in and he came outta nowhere at sat at the d/r table with us. We were 16 and 17. He was (?). All smokin' cigarettes and chillin'. After the song finished he got up and started talking about the concert he went to where they played this for a half-hour. He said it was *amazing*.
@SamBlob Peter Frampton Live was the FIRST CD I ever bough. $25. When the typical CD was $11. And I bought it JUST for "Do you feel like we do." I think I gave it to my brother for safe keeping. He's ocd about his movies and CDs.
So, okay. There *ARE* some bands and musicians that are good, if not better LIVE than studio.
I still have my 1968 Cuda fastback 340 w/3-2's and a 68 notch w/383+.060 that I race.My 1992 b4c1le is a supercharged Camaro cop car.My 1972 Duster is upgraded to a HP engine in Petty blue 4:30 gearing.SOOO much fun,remember big kids never die!(I'm past 60)
@dynodon100 WoW! Those MoPars would be a blast to drive and your Bow Tie is sweet! I'm a big kid too. I satisfy my thirst for speed by working pt for 3 Goodyear race tire distributors since 1980. I work 9 NASCAR races, 2 World of Outlaw dirt shows, 2 drag races and a sporty car race every year. Nothing smells sweeter than a hot race car and spent fuel. I've met "Dyno" Don Nicholson at some early match races and at later NHRA events. What a cool dude! He always had younger guys turning wrenches.
@Haywoodsmp1 I went to school in PA. with a Haywood (Phelps) a long time ago he liked cars also! I race in NE Ohio and win about 20% of the time but it is still fun.There was a writeup on my 1990 IROC in Moter Trend June 1990 pg.78 ending pg.149.I have one of 28 the others are 34 305-5 speeds.Mine is a 350 auto.
@dynodon100Hey Buddy - I found your IROC @ thirdgen.org/secret_chevys_mt_june_1990. I enjoyed the interesting read on a very rare Camaro.
btw, Haywood is just my handle & I live in America's breadbasket. But just like you and Phelps, I'm a MAJOR gear head. I've got 50 weight running in my veins, seen a lot of racing (I hate seeing crashes), smelled lots of tire smoke, broke bread with many movers 'n shakers in the racing world and can bench race like a pro!
@Haywoodsmp1 I thought that I should check first so we lost "Dyno Don" in 2006 and he never owned a dyno just used one.He was a great racer and is missed.
i love this song my dad used to play it for me when i was a little girl. did you know that this song was supposed to called 'In the garden of eden' but they were so high it came out as 'In A Gadda Davida'
Hey dynodon - Oh so long ago! I had my new 1969 GTX 440 and lots of ladies who said YES! I also played this song for hours. One free spirit told me her understanding of this song:
A fella lives his life between 2:00 & 6:00 and dies (presumed dead).
I was a teenager when this group played this song on TV. I was in high school and in college during the 60's and 70's. My generation produced the greatest Rock bands and most awesome Rock N' Roll music of all times and in the complete history of Rock N' Roll! Our Rock music was and still is fucking fantastic!
I heard this the first time in the snack bar in Ft. Ord Calif. it was "AIT" training which followed basic training. I soon bought a fairly decent transistor radio which I kept in my locker. Myself and a few of the guys would relax and listen to this and other good stuff after the activity of the day and "chow time". that was 1968 and now it,s almost 2012. I would trade today for those days, but that,s just me.
I remember riding down the road in a 1969 Camaro with the 8-track playing this combined with the sound of an open 4 barrel carb.WHAT A BLAST!!Aha..the good old days!Gas was .39 for prem. the skirts were short and the ladies all said yes...oh so long ago..I still have the 78 AND the 8-track...gee i'm old..
@dynodon100 - Oh so long ago! I had my new 1969 GTX 440 and lots of ladies who said YES! I also played this song for hours. One free spirit told me her understanding of this song:

@Haywoodsmp1 Don't you wish you still had that car?(440-375 HP) I still have my 1968 Cuda and a 1990 1LEIROC cars are still cool AND they don"t get preg.BAD side they don't keep ya warm at night unless the engine is running.
@dynodon100 Hey Buddy - Luv your cars - I bought my GTX new 12/68 for $3,000 - Sold the car in 1976 to visit Hawaii - Loved the trip but missed the car - Went looking for another GTX and became aware quickly I should have kept the car - in 1978, a GTX 440 in excellent condition was priced @ $4,000. HEMI cars were scarce & pricey but obtainable - B4 kids I've owned a '59 Vette, '62 Vette, '67 GTO, '68 Cuda 340 Fastback, '70 Vette, '73 Ply Duster 340 and the GTX. Now it's 4 bangers & 6 poppers.
@Haywoodsmp1 You're on to something! My band teacher told me years ago the story was on the B side of the record. It was a girl who tripped acid and she was having these visions about what you said. Guess I should google it heh heh. Good times. I loaded this song because I'm fixing to get stoned and do some nitrous. I never tripped acid to this song though and I wish i would have!
@dynodon100 I never had an 8 track player that didn't eat my tapes.many days of pulling the ribbon of tape out of the bowels of the 8 track player.Long live CD's!
@daddywoofdawg AMEN to that I still have a doz. or so of the old guys settin' round C D's sound so much better! As long as they do not skip when pulling 2G's!! My Camaro is supercharged.
esta cancion fue la entrada a nuestra ceremonia de graduacion de la escuela de comercio alla por los 68 o 70 uhuhuhuhuhuhuh y me trajo bellos recuerdos
@cinthiacervantes Nahhhhhhh no te la puedo creer, qué copado y loco pensar en este tema como el de entrada a una fiesta de egresados. Anoche fue la mía y entramos con Danza Kuduro... La verdad se me hace extraño imaginarme una fiesta no con esa música de ahora (cumbiancha y reggaetonera), sino con temas de rock ácido...
But talk about your one hit wonders! Every other track I heard from their first two LPs was pseudo psychedelic west coast bubble gum. Amazing they could lay down a rack like that and never come close again.
Funny, I never saw this footage until now. In 1968, having heard the LP, did a TV script in college based on a hypothetical Iron Butterly appearance. So this is how it would have turned out!

i remember as a child my father would have me play this on his reel to reel for him. id start it then run for my room cuz i was so afarid of this song. lol but as i got older i understand the song and more importantly, i understand him
moluvsage...are you in the band? I'm jazzed, I want to hear more music like this & drum solos like from 9:10 on, Lee Michaels & Frosty, keyboards like 11;10 & oh yeah, Velvet Underground. I remember it all & want to hear it again, NOW + TODAY. I'm 58 & my grandkids don't appreciate B+W films. They really need to get into our music & films. Any hints on how to make it happen? Thank you for your input & god vibes!!
Legendary Iron Butterfly .... I was eleven and I got to know them in black and white rock ... I listen to them today as in 1968 but color ...!!! thanks Iron Butterfly
I first heard this song when I was 5 years old when my father used to play this and I was told to sit still and not move while he played the whole song... at 11:00 when Erik plays those guitar riffs, my dad told me those were dinosaurs... aaah memories... still love this song to this day
@MrAndreina1990 Questa è una canzone circa il hippie era nel '69 a los angeles. In realtà non sono un mix di movimento che ha dimostrato espressione latina. abbiamo chiamato Psychaedelia. Pace e amore :)
I am just so excited to see the guys actually play/sing this song - I saw them in concert way back when, but I didn't know any one had this on ytube! Thanks!!!
15 minutes of glory !!! What's not great about this song. It is one of a kind. Just think that in 40 years it has not lost one ounce of its power. I hasn't dated at all even though it really defined an era
What kind of guitar is that? The headstock looks kind of like a Mosrite, but I know it's not. Looks like one of those "cheap" Japanese guitars that were out at the time. Any ideas?
@kd5icr1967 Hey - Thanks for responding. After I saw this video, I saw others, and learned that he did play a Mosrite, through a Vox Super-Beatle. I was amazed. The sounds he coaxed out of that set-up were nothing short of incredible. Thanks again
@BCRSIX They are Mosrites. They used a Mosrite Fuzz too. Opposite of cheap Japanese guitars, now they are worth thousands. It's strange, my Teisco (cheap Japanese guitar from the '60s) sounds perfect playing this type of stuff, but for anything else you'd think it's crap.
Thanks Pauloget for posting this. This has to be one of the more inventive riffs in rock music. There are so many good things about this song: the almost operetic vocals, the Baroque counterpoint on the keyboards, pounding floor toms and whigged out electric fuzz guitar solos that sound like pterydactyl cries.
This song is legend I was 16 when it came out and saw them do a show with Steppenwolf at the same time. Funny people who have or might not have heard it all the same know of the song.
I need acid... XD

Fortunately, for Iron Butterfly and the entire narcotics industry, Bushy kind of liked how his bandmate's inebreiated lyrics slurred out.
The new rechristened song and album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, went on to sell 25 million copies, making it the 31st-best selling album of all time.

btw, Haywood is just my handle & I live in America's breadbasket. But just like you and Phelps, I'm a MAJOR gear head. I've got 50 weight running in my veins, seen a lot of racing (I hate seeing crashes), smelled lots of tire smoke, broke bread with many movers 'n shakers in the racing world and can bench race like a pro!
And this song rocks!

@Haywoodsmp1 I thought that I should check first so we lost "Dyno Don" in 2006 and he never owned a dyno just used one.He was a great racer and is missed.

Hey dynodon - Oh so long ago! I had my new 1969 GTX 440 and lots of ladies who said YES! I also played this song for hours. One free spirit told me her understanding of this song:
A fella lives his life between 2:00 & 6:00 and dies (presumed dead).
6:30 to 9:00 - Body prepared for burial.
9:15 to 10:30 - Pall bearers walk to grave sight and casket lowered into grave.
11:00 - Dude wakes up and screams inside casket!
11:30 to 14:00 struggles to escape and has a last scream!
Dude expires @ 15:15!

I was a teenager when this group played this song on TV. I was in high school and in college during the 60's and 70's. My generation produced the greatest Rock bands and most awesome Rock N' Roll music of all times and in the complete history of Rock N' Roll! Our Rock music was and still is fucking fantastic!

I heard this the first time in the snack bar in Ft. Ord Calif. it was "AIT" training which followed basic training. I soon bought a fairly decent transistor radio which I kept in my locker. Myself and a few of the guys would relax and listen to this and other good stuff after the activity of the day and "chow time". that was 1968 and now it,s almost 2012. I would trade today for those days, but that,s just me.

@dynodon100 Hey Buddy - Luv your cars - I bought my GTX new 12/68 for $3,000 - Sold the car in 1976 to visit Hawaii - Loved the trip but missed the car - Went looking for another GTX and became aware quickly I should have kept the car - in 1978, a GTX 440 in excellent condition was priced @ $4,000. HEMI cars were scarce & pricey but obtainable - B4 kids I've owned a '59 Vette, '62 Vette, '67 GTO, '68 Cuda 340 Fastback, '70 Vette, '73 Ply Duster 340 and the GTX. Now it's 4 bangers & 6 poppers.

@Haywoodsmp1 You're on to something! My band teacher told me years ago the story was on the B side of the record. It was a girl who tripped acid and she was having these visions about what you said. Guess I should google it heh heh. Good times. I loaded this song because I'm fixing to get stoned and do some nitrous. I never tripped acid to this song though and I wish i would have!

I remember it all & want to hear it again, NOW + TODAY. I'm 58 & my grandkids don't appreciate B+W films. They really need to get into our music & films. Any hints on how to make it happen? Thank you for your input & god vibes!!

What kind of guitar is that? The headstock looks kind of like a Mosrite, but I know it's not. Looks like one of those "cheap" Japanese guitars that were out at the time. Any ideas?

@kd5icr1967 Hey - Thanks for responding. After I saw this video, I saw others, and learned that he did play a Mosrite, through a Vox Super-Beatle. I was amazed. The sounds he coaxed out of that set-up were nothing short of incredible. Thanks again
BCRSIX 3 months ago
@BCRSIX They are Mosrites. They used a Mosrite Fuzz too. Opposite of cheap Japanese guitars, now they are worth thousands. It's strange, my Teisco (cheap Japanese guitar from the '60s) sounds perfect playing this type of stuff, but for anything else you'd think it's crap.

Thanks Pauloget for posting this. This has to be one of the more inventive riffs in rock music. There are so many good things about this song: the almost operetic vocals, the Baroque counterpoint on the keyboards, pounding floor toms and whigged out electric fuzz guitar solos that sound like pterydactyl cries.
