Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida 1999

[killeyuno]

The only oringinal members are the drummer and I think the bass player.

[killeyuno]

Great Song, I'm a drummer .been playing as a pro ( making money for 30 plus years )

in bands, there is only really 3 songs that are drum songs and they are Wipe Out,

Edgar Winters' Frankenstein and In a Gadda Da Vida.

[super8m0nsters]

Oh man this is acid rock at its best!

[arkangelblue]

This is real music,,,ahhhhhhhh

[Rockertje1975]

Good sond, but please skip that stupid-Stickclick between 5:52 and 8:18, that part is very uninterested an demolishes the whole song! Can someone explain the I-B-drummer (and other drummers who are thinking stick-click is good) that stick-click is the most stupid part of drumming?!

[keithharveyviegas]

cool hot

[sheka216]

doug ingle knows how to work the organ

[Syzygy60]

don't believe everything u read on internet,"long" version is NOT 10 mins



[kindnessfirst]

@Syzygy60  like we don't know. jeesh!

[Syzygy60]

i know what the "long" version is I have the original studio 17 odd mins and live 19 mins plus

[OnoSata]

What is the fuzz pedal?

[kissrocks45]

@OnoSata the pedal they used back then to get the distortion form, adds the fuzzy sound to the guitar cool pedals.

[dacartigo]

the rock have changed since these years I'like play drumm but this is very simple , this is a classic and that must stay there , good bye Iron Butterffly

[rsenn514]

is this , like the real, iron butterffly ? if it is , ouch 

[soaringphoenix13]

@rsenn514 cant be, their vocalist was the organist

[Trullaklops]

das ist doch schrott!!! pfui!!!grausam!!!furchtbar!!!i­ch muß zum arzt,schluß damit!!!

[rodrigox312]

yeah !!!

[bobina6]

i hear the radio and witness it committing suicide more than 90% of the time

[JimReaper24]

wow i really love this song i'm gonna youtube it... hippies??? come on!

[jointothedarkside]

Young people must see this now like WTF what a boring song!! but its a hell of a trip!!! although I feel they lost some of the charm on the original version

[gpaai]

@jointothedarkside - Definitely has lost its charm. :-)

[Quomeister]

Just like a Spinal Tap gig

[MexicanChamp1000]

Take this shitty music!!!!

[MexicanChamp1000]

@MexicanChamp1000 I mean todays shitty music on my comment below

[grtyuj]

if they sang his at church then i would believe in god

[klaptongroovemaster]

ROFL... 6:23 - 6:30 ... he quotes from the Christmas song, "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." Specifically, "to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray."

[HeyItsCoop]

BEST 10 MINUTE SONG OF MY LIFE!!!

[MexicanChamp1000]

@jmonkeythehigh59 oh thanks.

[MexicanChamp1000]

Is that really doug ingle?

[Bluesbarri]

horrible these aren't even the originals

[xardas19191919]

6:10 sounds like Deep Purple's version of Hey Joe.

[elisabethbette]

He is out of key/tone? An I suppose to write more? You get angry with me if I write too much?

[elisabethbette]

He is out of key/tone?

[VenturesPops]

The Mosrite Guitars sounded just a little bit better.

[acidfreak1967]

its 7 mins shorter

[tariksba]

guitar sounds good ,what effect is ? (wha wha)?

[frombeneaththegarage]

I think this was at WHEE3 festival in Legend Valley, Thornville, Ohio. I worked there and had to drive the keyboardist around to grocery stores to get "a bbq sauce they only have in this part of the country". I often wonder what brand???

[nat0000ham]

where the fuck is the intro :(

[JohnnyangelNIU]

Eric Brann died of a heart attack in like July of 2003. This is Eric Barnett on guitar and signing - he is no longer in the band now, and Larry Rust on keyboards - also not in the band anymore. Original bassist Lee Dorman and Ron Bushy on drums are also here. The bassist that drove off the cliff and comitted suicide in 1995 was Phil Kramer, who was in Butterfly in the mid 70s. Not an original member.

[RICKYCALIFAS]

fellas there were be nothing better than the original version ,,,, and just look who lived that moment was so special ... now we can say nothing last for ever... to bad its gone ..... and only memorys remains...... god bless you all

[mikew4001]

Sounds rather like a very bad oldie rock cover band than like the original... very lame! James Last did a better version of that!

[maidmoira]

love,love,i have the live album,from way back, seemed a tad longer,was the whole flip side.

[anonymusum]

The keyboard player is that mediocre - it almost hurts....

[menga111]

organ is fuckin epic

[chabelitadragona]

wawwwww esta rola esta xdisssssima sobre todo la bataca se saca un milllllllllllllllllllllllllll wawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[generock]

I agree with you Mr beeb 123

[sneezabonk]

Sounds like the cafe jam version

[MrBEB123]

I think it is a mistake for Ron Bushy and Lee Doorman to play in this band after having been on the original recording. This is a terrible rendition of this song with the guitar player and organist making idiots of themselves. Never copy a masterpiece if you do not know what you are doing.

[artiebarnes]

@MrBEB123 Agreed. There is NO Iron Butterfly if Doug Ingle ain't in the band, dudes...

[katrastrophy]

I saw them the previous year at Harvest fest....my birthday,some hallucinogens,organ solo......outside during a wicked lightning storm right in the foreground of the stage...wow-it really happened. Never a ;huge' fan but never the less,it was cool.

[BeaHansen]

everytime i hear this great piece of music i feel like i am in heaven and flying around :-D

the music from the 60's and 70's was real music

[24OSXiest]

@BeaHansen cough cough 80's had godd disco tho COUGH haha

[KyleJPie10]

This song is so much better live

[jamesthemaniac]

is that the original guitarist?

[bigguy4570]

@jamesthemaniac The guys name was Eric Bron not sure about the spelling of his last name he was only 17 when he record this song. He is dead now from what I do not know. a shame he was a great guitar player

[vortxthrash]

hey man, can you post the video of the starship´s performance of "fooled around and fell in love"? i think is the same festival, or the same dvd...i will apreciate that...

[Rockinghorserider1]

The beat is almost hypnotic after a while.

[WolfsThunder]

Saw them play this live when I was 15 years old... Now 57... I can tell you that it was so much louder... And harder then ANY of the tapes have shown it until now.

Their's was the first concert where I could FEEL the music in my chest from the set that they played while I was outside the theater. Inside... I had died and gone to heaven.

[FutureKubrick]

Bass is absolutely brilliant. That's how you play it lol

[texaskev09]

Old school - love it.

[tenneylt]

I LOVE mp3iffy it WORKS just google mp3iffy.

[yamkehoe]

From the Old School

[texaskev09]

Great old school!  Love IB

[Bertisevil666]

Maybe it was just a rumor, but wasn't one the band members a F.B.I. Mole in the 1970's?

[RCAvhstape]

I wish modern rock bands would get back into some acid rock type stuff. This may sound wierd, but if you listen to Portishead's Third album it's about as close to acid rock as you can get in the late 2000's, it's got wierd beats and that psycho organ. But Iron Butterfly's guitarist shows how to really do it. A simple kickass riff and a slow, spacey solo beat electronics or shredding any day. The organ player and drummer also show how it's done.

[ironbuttermilk]

Is anybody at all from the original line-up in this band?

[TheMightyBanghole]

@ironbuttermilk

only the drummer ;) the rest quitted after the album in a gadda da vida ^^

[coitussnakes]

@TheMightyBanghole weres ingle ?

[tube94188]

some singers sound better when they're stoned

[guzzi114]

still 1 off the best songs ever made n a great vid

[bowocbr]

this drum solo is sooooooo nice i love it

[hottswapper]

I seen them in St. Louis at the Keil way back in 76, It was the first concert I ever saw. It was a Gas! We dropped some purple microdot an drank some Busch on the way over from Illinois where we lived. There were four of us, all classmates. We were all in a work program at our high school and we always had to get up and tell about what we did over the wknd. We layed it on thick when we told about it. Lol

[StifflerBB]

Echt mal ein Fantastisches Drummer Solo echt super gemacht

[hurtheart2007]

it isnt the same without doug ingle

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

Are all the members here?

[lookXaXninjaX]

i think that drum solo made me jizz in my pants

[borjo666]

wow they are old....

[peterthegreat86]

@borjo666 And fat.

[marekkoudelka]

Singer??

[TatanMauro]

cortica!

[foxyroxstar]

He's Looking Pretty Young as the Original Guitar Soloist?.......(but 'Can't Oui ALL still absolutely Dig It! Tell Me!)

[lesaroka]

I love this video

[Rockinghorserider1]

I smoked my first one during the drum solo

[gat1337]

OMG once they were so cool. But 1999... sorry.

[toberichmoe]

The keyboard guy makes me laugh

[mindboggle27]

i love the piano guy hair blowing in the wind tee hee

[cariva08]

Are they still on? Nostalgia...

[foxyroxstar]

..it is always so excellent!...Take The Frontline!...(I've got this quick little backyard party I want to host..)..Rock n Roll!

[LuiselPat]

damn keyboard guy, he fells it.

[kentcrawf]

@LuiselPat thats larry rust on the keys..talented and friendly.

[kassemir]

@LuiselPat Well, for the most part he's playin' a organ, but yeah he totally feels it grooves it out 60's style, gotta love it!!!

[MexicanChamp1000]

@LuiselPat They ALL feel it!

[iceygrave]

@LuiselPat that is comic book guy from the simpsons

[mtman69]

I guess when you get that old even the drummer slows down, should have drank more geritol.

[LillethTheRabbit]

now THERES the long song i heard of!

[requintiador]

tocan chingon..lo ke no me gusta es que sus movimientos corporales del guitarristas son muy parecidos a los de vai

[Stodgy]

Agree it doesnt but I like this version also.

[eminem7204]

it doesnt sound anything like the original

[ultrakool]

tickle those ivorys and let your freak flag fly

[Beeglz]

What a piece of shit. Sounds more like a Boston version. The crowd should have burned down the stage in protest.

[peterwalter04]

Das ist so eine laue fassung und so kurz., alles das drumsolo, die gitarre hat mit der original Version kaum noch ähnlichkeit, die orgel kommt kaum zur entfaltung. man sollte sich mal unbedingt den neuen Deutschen organisten anhören auf der live in hutchinson version als 3 teiliges gut doppelt so langes stück. der kann die orgel aber auf jeden fall besser spielen der Martin Gerschwitz.

[graysongerni]

there totally lost its just a jam =)

[sourskull666]

@graysongerni thats what makes it great:)

[60sdude]

Its kinda like light my fire from the doors and sunshine of your love from cream

and smoke on the water from deep purple!

[safetosaydontquoteme]

except 3x longer.

[bennimo88]

not really

[gragor11a]

I used to get into concerts during the late 60's by carrying in equipment. I got to sit on stage at during the performance of THIS song at Massy Hall in Ontario during an Iron Butterfly concert / Turtles double bill. Sat right out on stage leaning on the corner speakers facing the guitar player. Wow what a treat.

Lead Lep was playing uptown same night but all that was was a whole lot of yelling... This concert was definately the place to be.

Da Da Dada da dA DU Du dn du dU....

[K0dakr3llik]

@gragor11a i call bull shit on all of that



[gragor11a]

@K0dakr3llik call it anything you want.

[tariksba]

@gragor11a lucky man...

[pisspot55]

@gragor11a ...fuck you :( and I mean that in a nice way (envious)

[nettozu]

long live butterfly!!!

[husq48]

Where's the Vox Continental?!

[ElSerpienteSolida69]

whit this, the day ends xd

[carfer1517]

this song breaks the fucking ass of the jonas brothers and other groups!! jajajajajajajajajajajaja 60s rock rulez!!!!

[msstevie1951]

Best music ever made was the 60's I wouldn't trade growing up then for anything! This brings back so many beautiful memories of great times at house parties,I wish I could go back and do it all over again! Thanks for this post fritz51135 XXXXXOOOOO

[emgel123]

u r so right! wish I could go back too!

[0ddball64]

doesn't the full song go for like 15 mins?

[z150a]

17 minutoos de echo

[emgel123]

28 minutes !

[mike453683]

The story told some time back was that the writer was asked the name of the song, and he was so so trashed he said "In a gada da vida". He was trying to say "In the Garden of Eden", but now is all in the history of sixties partying, the name stuck.

[XXXkLeCiIj69XXX]

ahhhhhhhhh, its not full 17:02. fuck

[jezmundberserker]

Best keyboard intro ever!!!

[fossie32]

Rock on! Bless you guys for a magic moment in music history.

[grooms63941]

its so funny they were high when the were recording this

[TutSichNix]

it´s sooo fantastic ;-))

like this very much, .... the best are the solo´s

guitar and drums , ..... geil

[BloozeDaddy76]

Eric Barnett rocks out pretty well on the extended solo here. Too bad he is no longer with the band.

[shaithis45]

I have yet to see any band that can do the full 17 minute version of this song :) Speaking of which is the full length cut even posted on you tube?

[ilovedavenavarro]

you can only post videos up to 10 minutes i think.

and the full length is 17 minutes, like you said, so i dont think it's posted.

[TheSynthExperience]

You can find it split in two parts.

[dia33386]

shaithis45: Full 17+min version was posted here months ago by 'Wishsongs" & it was The best!! Sadly, Warner Bros(& their damn 'suits')took it off due to copyright laws! And it was Iron Butterly's Ingles on guitar & vocals with the unequalled Ron Bushy's drum riff that made it so freakin memorable along w/ 'Wishsongs' amazing video!

[dia33386]

shaithis45: Mea culpa! Don Ingles composed "Inna Gadda Da Vida" & was keyboardist & vocal; Lee Dorman was lead guitar w/ that fab guitar solo & Ron Bushy was the freakin totally amazing drummer who gave us the best drum riff of all time.

[shaithis45]

whenever I listen to the full cut, time just flies by. I think that is still the longest rock based song to this day and played all the way through to my understanding without any editing. That's talent.

[CKru8789]

Unless you count Progressive Rock as Rock, then this song is trumped by Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick", which the full version goes on for almost forty-five minutes.

[shaithis45]

CKru, I guess I just learned something new today. Now I must go out and buy that Jethro Tull album on CD if I can find it. Time for some research :)

Appreciate the information and "HEY AQUALUNG!!!!"

[ImAGrasshopper]

Iron Butterfly is who you want to hear play this .... the original artist

[shaithis45]

I do like the original cut better. Also I notice the sound of the music is a little different and less raw vs. the original cut.

[shaithis45]

Thick as a Brick Album should still be easily obtainable from places like Best Buy so will probably pick it up over the weekend. Looking forward to the full length version. Again thanks for the info :)

[CKru8789]

You are so very welcome. =D It's a great album, too bad most versions out there trim it down to 6 minutes or less, it takes the magic out of it. I'd laugh if I ever heard the full LP version on the radio.

[shaithis45]

that be a job for independent/college radio stations. Imagine the DJ walking out of the booth and taking a break at that point.

Couldn't find it in the stores but I'll probably special order it down the road. Will make a great Xmas present to myself.

Thanks again.

[tsg875]

Doug Ingle wrote it, Eric Brann was the guitar player on the original recording and Lee Dorman is the bass player

[dia33386]

tsg875: Thx! So sorry for not giving Eric

Brann creds as the guitar player on

the original! Fab guitar riff leading into

Ron Bushy's freakin totally amazing

drum riff! Guess my only excuse is I'm

a total  drum freak/lover! Mea culpa!

Thx again for the correction!

[ArnoRiedel]

A walk through Memory Lane.

Thanks,

Arno

[chiefmojorising1]

modern rock sucks a big fat cock

[RealTeuton555]

Anybody can tell me if the man who plays the keyboard was the leader singer in the back times? by the way, the guy who sings was the guitar player in the back pages? thank u

[aaaadga]

hey im learning how to play crazy guitar solos to. maybe future music wont suk cuzz modern musik does

[iloverockmusic110]

I love how there's a drum solo in this.... You don't find very many songs like that! :)

[mattbastardsen]

i have the original vinyl recording - this one song plays for the entire side of the album close to 20 minutes. the drum solo alone was something like 7, 8, 9 minutes truly awesome

[dia33386]

mattbastardsen: Lucky you having the original vinyl ! While Dorman's guitar solo was great - I'm SO in agreement that it was Ron Bushy's drum riff solo that totally *rocked* !!

[sourskull666]

bullfrog blues - Rory gallagher

Moby Dick - Led Zeppelin

[emoryalba]

He cant sing anymore he lost it

[loblegonst]

when he says inna gadda vida or whatever it was sopposed to be in the garden of eden but he was really high when they first did it so thats why the lyric makes no sense but what ever

[HemiFreak94]

yup

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

i read in guitar world that when led zepp opened for iron butterfly bonham actually laughed during the drum solo

[blazerrips91]

YOU MEAN Ron Bushys drum solo yeah that was wild

[iwantwatermellon]

Why did they remove the original video?

[DIAPERGRAVY52]

there removing most original videos within the next few weeks there wont be any at all (i went to listen to skid row and no more:(........

[iwantwatermellon]

Wow so this is proof. Music that once rebelled the man is now being taken off and censored by the man. I really hope this is just a life cycle. We really need a rebirth of this music. A music revolution.

[OGSTEFAN]

thats so true mate. modern musik is dead

[iwantwatermellon]

haha I WISH modern music would die.

I know what you mean though.

This situation is only ostracizing music lovers...but hopefully enough so to bring them all together to create a music revolution.

I mean, we talk about it enough, and there are enough of us, so now all we have to do is stand by what we know is right. Real Music.

Presto! Revolution.

Wow Iron Butterfly is amazing even after so many years.

[OGSTEFAN]

You know iam only 20 and I went with my dad to Deep Purple a few years ago. My dad is from back in the days when musik was musik. This concert realy opend my mind and changed my point of view. Man fuck this comertcial modern day shit. im so sick of it

[iwantwatermellon]

That's great :)

Why did we have to grow up in this generation of bad music?

Hey but who knows, maybe we'll end up being the saviors of it.

[OGSTEFAN]

haha yeah mate who knows. iam allready learning how to jam the guitar. u neva know haha

[iwantwatermellon]

haha me too. Hope so :)

[illuminatioracle]

@iwantwatermellon LOL 'the man' is the drug addled retard socialist radicals of the 60s doing all the censoring now

[iwantwatermellon]

@illuminatioracle Don't generalize. What about Joni Mitchell? She would definitely agree with that statement, as do I (partially), but she is an example of the generation of which I speak of. True musicians, plain and simple. You either stay true or you don't.

I for one never idolized socialists to begin with. You have to agree that TRUE musicians (from the sixties or now) are intelligent beings. I wonder what a Michael Moore jam band would sound like...
