Reminds me of my dad. He passed almost a year ago. He was stuck in the 50's, his teen years and he hated the 60's until I brought home this album by Iron Butterfly and Ina-Gatta-DeVita. The first time he listened to it, he fell in love with it and I never saw my Iron Butterfly album again. He absolutely loved Ina-Gatta-DeVita and he would never go a day without listening to it. I ended buying a new album for myself! I was so mad at him but now I treasure this memory.
Every kid that grew up with a guitar around learned how to play the Riff from Smoke on the Water. Before Smoke on the Water became the worlds favorite guitar riff, this was the king Riff song of the 60s.
It was 1971 and I bought this album and loved it and by my senior year my parents got me head phones and I will always remember "Turn your music down Philip" they ment business when they called me Philip.
I knew Ron Bushy (drummer) in the 80's. He was a Makita power tools sales rep at the time. Nicest dude ever, so many amazing stories from the old days. Passed away last year I think. God bless you dude, one of the most memorable drum solos in history.
Apparently, the guy was trying to sing "In the garden of Eden" but came in too high to sing it properly. The song is this long because everyone was too high to stop and it became a jam session.
Oh yeah! Almost forgot. The Jimi Hendrix Experience did two very spacey pieces which would qualify as psychedelic: "3rd Stone From The Sun" from his Are You Experienced? album. The other even spacier piece is "1983...(A Merman I Should Turn To Be) / Moon, Turn The Tides...gently gently away" from his Electric Ladyland album. Lastly, very early Pink Floyd often had a highly psychedelic sound to certain cuts. "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" from their Ummagumma live album is very exotic spacey!
I had too much to dream - The Electric Prunes Journey to the center of the mind - The Amboy Dukes Few songs by The Yardbirds - Shapes of things For your love Heart full of soul Flaming - pink floyd Matilda Mother - pink floyd Set the controls for the heart of the sun - pink floyd No quarter- led zeppelin A day in the life - The beatles She said she said - the beatles I am the walrus- The beatles
I remember buying headphones just so I can hear this song because my dad used to bang on the walls telling me to turn it down when I was playing this song.
Groovy! Psychedelic freak out! 1968. It sounds great in the dark with strobe lights focused through a lava lamp or what not. I've got this on on vinyl. I found it in a used record store back in the eighties. It takes up all of side two. I don't know that I ever listened to side one! I mean, I must have at least once, but after that... When you're ready for more sixties psychedelia, check out some of these tunes: Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Carry On" or "Wooden Ships", Blue Cheer "Peace Of Mind", Strawberry Alarm Clock "Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow", Fever Tree "San Francisco Girls", Janis Joplin "Summertime", Jimi Hendrix "Third Stone From The Sun", The Moody Blues "Nights In White Satin", Jefferson Airplane "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon", Fairport Convention "Who Knows Where The Time Goes?", Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)", The Byrds "Eight Miles High", Buffalo Springfield "Mr. Soul", The Grateful Dead "Dark Star", The Turtles "You Showed Me", Donovan "Wear Your Love Like Heaven", Susan Christie "Paint A Lady", Gandalf "Hang On To A Dream", The Yardbirds "Over, Under, Sideways, Down", Vanilla Fudge "You Keep Me Hangin' On", Tommy James & The Shondells "Crimson and Clover", The Who "I Can See For Miles", Status Quo "Pictures of Matchstick Men", The Amboy Dukes "Journey to the Center of the Mind", The Animals "San Francisco Nights", The Velvet Underground "All Tomorrow's Parties" ...
Great job my friend. Wonderful piece of physchedelia and something that I haven't heard in years. Truly enjoyed it! I know you are a David Gilmour fan, and a psychedelia fan, so you should check out " Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic. Wonderful guitar work in that song. God bless my friend!
This is a classic of psychedelia,glad you got to experience it. May I suggest you react to the original Woodstock movie. Start with Santana-soul sacrifice, they were all tripping on acid when they performed, it’s amazing! Also check out “I’m going home” by ten years after and of course Jimi Hendrix playing the star spangled banner
They, Iron Butterfly, were supposed to play Woodstock, but the roads were blocked, and the producers weren't going to spring for a helicopter to bring them. they joined more than a few bands that never got there, and sort of disappeared because of it
Several characters made this piece a brickstone to build future rock music on: The length! Rock songs were 3 minutes (and there is actually a short version) to be of interest for radio. Drum solos were also exclusively for jazz sessions. Only the Nice (Keith Emerson before ELP), Zappa and maybe a few more (well Beatles of course) brought so many "exotic" elements into rock music. Next drum solo (as far as I know) is Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick the following year! Gadda-da-vida is still relevant: Check the cover by Sina from 2017! Another song, quite unknown today, with the same inpact on future rock music is "Fire" with "The crazy world of Arthur Brown" (also from 1968) His live performances spread him also via TV. In those days I only heard the rumors. Today we have TH-cam! He is still active 80 years old! (Next concert in Germany in Sep). Check the live video! This is before Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Marillion etc.!
You need to check out Captain Beyond. Rod Evans from Deep Purple Mk.1, Lee Dorman and Larry Reinhardt from Iron Butterfly, and Bobby Caldwell from the Johnny Winter group. It's awesome....start anywhere on the first album, Thousand Days of Yesterdays is a hella good launching point. Killer early prog...you will LOVE IT.
Ron Bushy. Tell me Phil Collins wasn't heavily influenced by his drumming. This drummer is playing music on his drums. Never heard anything like it before. He's not just keeping the beat for the band, he's not just hitting as many drums as he can, as fast as he can. He's actually playing music on the drums.
I wished you had shown the live version. It's a bit longer and a bit more impressive. At that time the song became popular in Europe and I.B. were invited to various performances - since the guitarist was only 17 years old, he wasn't allowed to leave the country and had to get his parent`s permission for this. They gave it and they had their first gig in germany if i remember correctly. Many greetings @all from hamburg (germany)
Hi! Here's another good, different style of psychedelic Rock journey, which I believe you'll like: "Time Has Come Today" by The Chambers Brothers. Enjoy!
My brothers and I made up a story for this song! The main theme through first guitar solos sees a group of Adventurers, looking through 'the old city' for clues to a fabled treasure. The drum solo is Festival!, thrown by the locals, honoring their God, the Mighty Basilisk! Afterward, a Local shows them a Library of forbidden books. Moody keyboards, 'church music', discordant notes as they read the spells. When they open an especially cursed spell-book, a tiny Basilisk is released into the world; it's birth-cries are the screeching noises @ 12:26. The Locals are made aware of the Adventurers transgression @ 14:03, and give hot pursuit! Our Boys are running for their lives, their way seems clear but a giant Basilisk appears @ 15:28! They battle, and the Monster is destroyed! The Adventurers are triumphant @ 16:00, the bass-line a little 'victory dance'. They are safely on their way home when the main theme kicks in @ 16:37. We made a 'flip-book' to illustrate the tale; we were 9 and 10 years old at the time! The 'infinite drums' are the Locals, having the time of their lives while carving up the Basilisk.
I don't know if this was said earlier but what I heard when it first came out it was supposed to be like others said below Garden of Eden but they got drunk when recording it. Is this true? I just want to know. I had the album and loved the drumming. Mom too. Thank god she went back to college. All this different music.
I heard a rumor, don't know how true it is, but it says that the band member that came up with the name stumbled into the studio drunk, and meant to say 'In the Garden of Eden' and it came out as 'In a Gadda Davida'. But now that I know that it means 'In the Garden of Life', I'm doubtful of the rumor, because it makes sense. Also, there's an apparent live version of this song in black and white, but I know the song well enough to be able to tell that it's a sync to the studio recording. Still cool to watch though. You can find it at this link: th-cam.com/video/UIVe-rZBcm4/w-d-xo.html
@@POPE. hey dude your reaction to zep are great seen them live in 75 and haven't listened to them in 30 years came across your channel when I heard stairway live I just broke down in tears really struck a nerve
Love Iron Butterfly. This is what they're know for, but they have so many more that are fantastic if not better than this track. "Soul Experience" "In The Time OF Our LIves, and Belda Beast just to name a few. Those are the tracks you should listen to. The whole "Ball" album is a masterpiece in my opinion, but growing up in the time make me a bit biased I guess!
PleaseI don't know if you played it or if you are interested but I graduated in 1976. Peter Frampton Alive is a great album. Do You Feel Like We Do. Find one that just shows the album cover. NOT Midnight Special. Sit back and listen. No lyrics to read. Everyone in high school went to buy the album!
@@POPE. just figured I was the chair cause I've seen another reactor that has the same issue with his gaming chair. You can hear the covering screech like a leather couch.

You go deep in to the psychedelic soup man, good job brother,, try Chamber Brothers "Time has Come Today".
Got very high to this great song. Very high!
This is my ringtone for text messages... I'm not allowed to respond until the song ends.
Guitarist Eric Brann was only 17 yrs old when he recorded his guitar part.
Amazing performance for still being a minor .. lol
I want more words from you too, not before the song but at the end.
When this song came out there was a trip trying to wait by the radio just to record it and when the DJ say get to tapes together it was on
54 years later it's still out standing!
I saw Iron Butterfly along with Led Zeppelin back in 1970. 🌻✌️ You are truly an old soul. I think you would enjoy Billy Thorpe Children of the Sun.
I knew Ron Bushy (drummer) in the 80's. He was a Makita power tools sales rep at the time. Nicest dude ever, so many amazing stories from the old days. Passed away last year I think. God bless you dude, one of the most memorable drum solos in history.
YES. IN A GADDA DA VIDA. My dad was able to play this song, including the drum solo, on drums when he was younger
Yes Iron Butterfly album Metamorphosis is my all time fav!💥👍😎💓
Apparently, the guy was trying to sing "In the garden of Eden" but came in too high to sing it properly. The song is this long because everyone was too high to stop and it became a jam session.
Lmao 🤣
You are correct sir. The rumor is that the original title was "In The Garden Of Eden..."
actually they were drunk, but pretty much

Ha, you should see the video of the drummer going crazy....cool 🎵
I'm sitting here cold in Perth looking at you nice and warm in your matching psychedelic t shirt and beard comb, envious 😂😂
Cheers
Harro 😁 🤘
What a trip this song takes you on. This song did not get a lot of airplay due to its length, but what an absolute classic!
Man a great instrumental for sure it’s bad ass.
When I think of psychedelic rock I think of the Rolling Stones "2000 light years from home"
We use to dance to cheek to cheek to this song.

One song I don't think I've seen a reaction to is - Smell of Incense ... by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band...
Great vibes/groovy song ✌️
"that's it?" on a 17 min song, dude you made me laugh out loud :)
Always loved the drum solo in this !!
It's the iconic drum solo

If Ron Bushey wasn't the inspiration for Animal in the Muppets , I be greatly surprised .
Hi ! Sorry i don t have time to listen ! i m busy but it s ok ! I know that by heart ! LoL
was actully In The Garden Of Eden but after a wild night of partying they had a hard time saying it and slurred "IN A GADDA DA VIDA"

You kinda have to eat 6 or8 shrooms to really appreciate this one thoroughly

Lmao
The song will SEEM to be 17 HOURS long in that case!

Always had to be a Trippy element back then.
