wasn't sure you were ready for this one, but proud of you for going all in with the long version!!....RESPECT
I have a few cousins that are named Grogan
Indeed, I don't think he realizes how difficult drum solos are to keep the beat at that length.
There are no words that aptly describe this Jewel of a Song... I remember when I first heard it...the musicians were amazing and Doug's vocals cast a spell !!! Still holds up today. Enjoy !!!
Erik Brann the guitarist is 17 years old here
Whoa!!! 👍👍👍👍
Blows my mind because not only is the guitar great but also ahead of it's time imo
@@bulbousbackwood5404 Not ahead of it's time, but defining the time.
We used to play the long version to piss our parents off.
😄 Along with the rest of us.
My dad played it to piss off my brothers and me. Usually very early on a Saturday morning when we were still in bed.
This is the first drum solo my brother learned. He was only 12-13 and I loved when he'd play it!
DID WE EVER.. LEARNED TO PLAY ORGAN TO THIS SONG.. I WAS 12 YRS OLD.. STILL PLAY IT AND DAUGHTER PLAYS IT TOO..
DID WE EVER.. FUNNY, STILL LISTENING..
This the song that, back in the day. the DJ put on when he either wanted to take a leak of smoke a joint.
😂
roger that. had a friend who was the overnight DJ at an underground FM station in SoCal in '69. many's the time we...
Props to the drummer… man the endurance…🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🔊🔊🔊🔊❤️❤️❤️🎶🎵🎶🎧
My career was in radio rock radio. I live in a large city on the east coast of Florida. We not only have the Atlantic Ocean, we have the Intercoastal Waterway, the St Johns River and too many bridges to count. In 1989, Jacksonville had a snow storm that paralyzed our. Basically, cutting us off from each each. Our bridges were shut down which resulted in the station having one person available to be on-air. My assistant stepped up to the plate and kept the station up and running for 68 hours by herself. This version was her only respite and she played it multiple times. She was handsomely rewarded for her unparalleled efforts.
Ahhhhhhhh, Shit music. And for those that don't know, not a derogatory term.
Awesome story!
From one radio nerd to another...InAGaddaDaVida was also known as your bathroom break tune.
Props to her!👏👏
There was another cut off the record album that I remember liking. Basically I.B. suffered the one hit wonder syndrome.
Taking me back to dark rooms with lava lamps, black lights and black light posters
And an occasional strobe light & incense.
Record company - "How many solos are you going to do?"
Iron Butterfly - '"Yes."
This song played every single day in my high school art classes for 4 years, my own garden of Eden. Inspired many drawings, paintings, and was great for keeping rhythm on the pottery kick wheel.
I'm doing acrylic pours to it these days! (I'm 66)
Great, great old classic. Long version is the best. Glad you chose that one. In a gadda da vida, was suppose to come out as In The Garden of Eden, but the singer was drunk, and that's how it came out. This is a true Hippie psychedelic era and song. Very hip in the day.
That’s what I’d heard he was supposed to be singing, too. 😉
Loved this song since it first came out. Ahhhh...the good old days.
I think you were right about the jungle theme. It was rumered to mean In the garden of eden. Big hit, great song.
Never heard of this band before (I know, where have I been!) but loved this. Trippy psychedelic rock, what’s not to like! Lol
I was wondering when this day would come. Glad you dug it. Yes that's a Farfisa organ a very distinguished sounding organ,Italian made. Many groups were using them especially in the garage rock genre. Groups like The Doors, Sean Bonniwell and the Music Machine etc.
This was back in the days of LSD.This was head music 🎶 back in the day. They would get high and just in joy music 🎵 and life. They would just tune out the whole World 🌎 and just in joy.
For its time, this song was pretty heavy.
The popular story about the song is that it was supposed to be "In the Garden of Eden", but the singer was so stoned that it came out, "Inna gadda Davida".
😂😂😂😂
@Queen_Of_Cups Heard he was drunk. 6 of one half dozen of the other I guess.
Ronald Elkins That’s what I thought. 🥴
Actually, the story IS true. My neighbor for many years in Los Angeles was a guy named Jim Hilton, who discovered the band and was the engineer on the album this record came from. I asked him about the story, and he said yes, it was true.
@@rickdavis1030 That's really cool. Thanks for confirming it.
They didn’t call this acid rock for nothing, you know. ;)
This is classified as Psychodelic Rock.
Credit for the first Acid Rock goes to Steppinwolf
@@wildduckfan You do know that psychedelia is the result of and the point to dropping acid, right? ;-)
Yes I am well aware of that, but thanks for checking!
25 mics of Timothy Leary!
if i knew you were going to play this version i would have picked up a small bag of mushrooms on the way home.....can you warn me next time?
The guy who wrote this song was drunk on wine and when he sang In the garden of Eden in came out.. in a godda da Vida. 😉
I do not know if he was indeed drunk but he stared to say "In A Goda Da Vida" during rehearsal waiting for the recording engineer to arrive
I guess it seemed to roll off the tongue better and added mystery to the song.
Supposedly, the rehearsal tape was so good it was decided to release that .
BTW I have this album on vinyl and it sounds fantastic. However this is the only song worth listening to on it. In A Goda Da Vida takes the whole of side1 of the LP
"Acid Rock" at it's best.along with Steppen Wolf and Deep Purple. Check out Caned Heat doing "Work Together"
one of your best reactions. This song was so awesome and still is. Was on constant replay in the college dorm in 1968. Incredible one whole side of an album. And you went on a psychedelic trip. :-)
Reminds me of all the black-light poster stores all over Georgetown in Washington, D.C. I and my friends were innocent back then, but they would never let us use the bathrooms--they thought we would do drugs! Too funny....
This brought back memories!! I would listen to this record all the time as a young teen.. it was during the psychocodelic times of drugs and sex..( I didn't do either but we thought we were cool.. lolol)
Wait a minute this sounds like rock and or roll - Reverend Lovejoy
"Hey, Marge - remember when we used to make out to this hymn?"
Yeah, "The Devils Music" according to all the PITA preachers...
ACID ROCK IS DIFFERENT THAN ROCK..
Remember as a 9 year old my sister bringing this album home and telling everybody we had to hear this. This group sounds kind of like they were trying to sound like the Doors .
I am having 'flashbacks' !!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Think we all did lol
Mind trip staring at your hand ✋whoa😵
Me too, take a trip and never leave the farm!
I remember my brother blasting this song,when our parents weren’t home,wish I headphones back then💫😂😎👩🏼🦳
You'd be deaf now if you had head phones back then!
Marie FC so right you are😂
Crazy..... full sized drums of old. "In the garden of Eden" is how it was originally written. Jungle...
Iron Butterfly, along with Grand Funk, The Doors, and CCR, were my companions in the bedroom spending hours and hours and hours learning guitar. My first band played the full song in the fall of 69 at a High School Homecoming dance, we had a great drummer and keyboardist, and I did my best with all the guitar solos (thanks to the wah wah pedal and FuzzTone!,) brings back great memories.
Oh wow, this song is tripping!!! Keeping me in the groove Lol! ✌🏻 The drummer is feeling it but so talented ♥️
Stoned out his mind
@@billhiggins1882 well said my friend, you straight said what I was thinking! But he was talented & feeling it like I said Lol! ✌🏻
This is one of those songs that I might want to listen to every ten years or so. Another one hit wonder that I'd put on that list is Time Has Come Today by The Chambers Brothers.
Agreed. Another must. Long version. Please!!!
This song is 55 years old and a Timeless Classic
Great to see a younger generation enjoying the music I grew up with!
Something kind of in the same vein from 1967, the almost 12 minute album version of Time Has Come Today by the Chambers Brothers
Another good one is Love, Peace and Hapiness.
This album did not leave my turntable for at least 2 weeks when it came out.First time hearing solos during a song.
"Age of Aquarius," video from the movie "Hair." Thank you!
Robert Kenneth LOVE that song if it includes “Let the Sun Shine.”
Do "Fire" by the crazy world of Arthur Brown. From the same year 1968
Yes!!
absolutely!!!
Memories of dancing all 17 mins with a girl in the high school gym dance. Exhausting! lol
I grew up on this song.
Sitting on the floor, head bent over the turntable in-between the speakers! Lol
Sitting on the floor, head bent over the turntable in-between the speakers! Lol
Ed Koehn me too
Yep
Me too. My dad went through a rebellious period after he divorced my mom. He bought a corvette and would blast this while he drove my brother and I through Seattle. 😆
This song takes me back to 12 years old. A cardboard box in the corner of the garage. Black light hanging from the ceiling. Psychedelic posters on the wall. Incence burning. Mind blown.
It did create an "environment ".
Whatever you wanted it to be or got out of it...jungle, space, whatever. TRUE psychedelic rock!!!!!
My favorite psychedelic rock band is Jess and the Ancient Ones. If you like that genre, you should definitely check them out :)
The singer went into a church while he was drunk and thought the priest was saying ' in a gadda da vida ' but actually he said " In the garden of Eden"
I heard they got high when they wrote the song, and he was trying to say in the garden of eden, but it came out in a gadda da vida.
Lots of drugs back then. I was just a kid then.
My Dad was a DJ at his college radio station. He said, if he had to go to the bathroom, he would put this song from the record (yes, record) on because it would give him time for a bathroom break. Years later, when I was a DJ at my college radio station, I remembered his tutelage and playen Iron Maiden's Rime of the Ancient Mariner when I had to travel two floors up to take a restroom break. :)
"played"
I was a radio DJ when this came out. What a great cut, even for those of us who didn't get high! And it was the quintessential bathroom break and get a cup of coffee song.
When it came to this band all I have to say is, it was 1968 ( for breakfast a lot of people had LSD instead of eggs)
It was a fantastic Hippie time Experience of music ! So sorry you wernt there with us !
For a one hit wonder this song is one of the most iconic of the 60s. Extremely influential
The Woodstock Story from Wilki. I have heard this before
The band had been booked to play at Woodstock in August 1969 but got stuck at New York City's LaGuardia Airport. They explained their situation to the concert promoters and asked for patience. Their manager, however, sent a telegram demanding that Iron Butterfly be flown in by helicopter, whereupon they would "immediately" take the stage. After their set, they would be paid and flown back to the airport. According to drummer Bushy, "We went down to the Port Authority three times and waited for the helicopter, but it never showed up".[9] Woodstock Production Coordinator John Morris claims he sent the manager a telegram reading: "For reasons I can't go into / Until you are here / Clarifying your situation / Knowing you are having problems / You will have to find / Other transportation / Unless you plan not to come." The first letter of each line in the telegram spelled out the acrostic "Fuck You" making clear that the band was not welcome
Leave it to managers to fk things up
Yes Dean 😆😅😄😃😂😀
Wow
Wowe, this is quite a back story!
Probably the first song played by every garage rock band back in the day!
Always reminds me of The Simpsons. "Hey Marge, remember when we used to make out to this hymn."
The obligatory: czcams.com/video/ulDC1w1ydLI/video.html
Yes David 😆😅😄😃😂😁😀
Wait a minute this sounds like rock and or roll 😂😂
David B thanks for posting the link lol
Someone actually did it in church for real: czcams.com/video/U34_P_zoGzk/video.html
Koodos to that drummer. 17 minutes, non stop. Give that man a beer.
I bought the "45" of this song. Back then, turntables had the option of play speed "45" or "33". My sisters & I were babysitting our baby brother and to scare him, we turned off all the lights with this song playing slower, making it sound like a monster. I know... probably shouldn't admit that. He wasn't a BABY, just the youngest, around 6 years old.
Still would love for one hit wonders Wednesday some Wall of Voodoo "Mexican Radio" 😁💗. Maybe you could do a storytelling Sunday and start with Alice restaurant
I remember when they would play extended cuts, deep cuts, album sides. Used to educate through the music. Now you got BS 3 minutes or less. I liked radio back then. It was personal, not so corporate. Rock on stay safe and never eat the brown Acid or Get off The BOAT. Look up those last two references, help you understand us older folks. Keep up the great work!
Agreed 👍
@@bethshadid2087 Wasn't that better? When music was music? And a DJ could express opinion? I would have missed out on so much!
@@noneofurbizness5838 yes it was. No politics or political views and the owners just wanted good jams not instant money makers 😁
@@bethshadid2087 they wanted music and skill. Now they autotune. Have you seen the Dutch Symphony doing the theme to "The Good The Bad & The Ugly"? You should. Amazing live performance.
@@noneofurbizness5838 no I haven't. Will do thanks
Saw them live in the late 60s. They played this song for 45 minutes.
I used to be able to play Ron Bushy's drum solo note for note, but those days are long gone...sad to say............. Saw them live at Penn State in State College PA WAY back...they were just this good live.........
It was a simple song and we loved it back in the day.
I remember all the school dances this was played at. Heard this everywhere. I"m 67 and still grooving to this. Came from a time of psychodelics. Peace, make love, and no war! Hippie scene. Loved it
We use to see how many times we could drive up and down 4th street while cruzin in our car to that song playing on the radio. Somehow it seemed better back then maybe because we were all high.
The original title In A Gadda Da Vida was supposed to be IN A GARDEN OF EDEN. But the lead singer was so high or intoxicated that he mispronounced it as IN A GADDA DA VIDA. It turned out so well tho that the band just went with it.
I agree with you; the power of the music is the constant building of suspense; then letting you breathe; then building it up again on another instrument. AS to not wanting it to end, I saw them live and that lasted about 40 minutes -- it was the whole concert, and kept weaving from one instrument to another like that. Awesome!
Other great songs by Iron Butterfly are, *in the crowds", "in the Time of our lives", "soul experience", " easy Rider", " butterfly blue". And there are many many more. Iron butterfly is great band and nowadays is greatly overlooked
For those who don't know the meaning of this song, in-da-gada-vida means...in the garden of eden...the rapper nas used lirics from that song...the thief theme.😎
Early Stoner Rock and Proto-Metal! One of the reasons Jimmy Page liked the name Led Zeppelin for the new band he founded in 1968 was that it reminded him of Iron Butterfly (Iron - Lead = heavy, Butterfly - Zeppelin = light).
ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF THE SIXTIES.. LOVE THE SINGER'S VOICE.. BARATONE MIX.. ONE OF A KIND VOICE.. YES, THIS SONG DROVE MY MOM CRAZY.. PLAYED IT ALL THE TIME ON HER ORGAN.. STILL DO AND TAUGHT MY DAUGHTER.. 54 YRS LATER STILL PLAYING..
For other blistering drum solos (and a different look at someone you've already covered once): "Jump Into the Fire," Harry Nilsson.
in the early to mid 70's... every bar band in American did a version of this during the night... at least one...
I saw you were taking on this song and I threw my head back and laughed out VERY loudly. Oh, it means In the Garden of Eden. Don't let anyone fool ya. The flip side had Flowers and Beads, Most Anything You Want Girl and Termination, all good tunes. Guitarist is Erik Brann. He was SEVENTEEN when this was recorded. Gifted.
He organist hides a Christmas tune in his jam around 14:20 , salvation and redemption is response to the distortion is sin entering the Garden of Eden. Singer wants Eve to be with him and "walk this land."
Youre making a lot of folks in our 60s and 70s very happy!!
Was originally titled IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, but the lead was perpetually stoned n couldn't say the words right. Hence IN A GADDA DA VIDA. This is widely considered to be the very first hard rock song. The instrumental is fantastic. The song came out near the beginning of the psychodelic years of rock n roll. Thanks for doing tgmhe long version as it is the best version. You're react was excellent J. Niche...Very nice
Iron Butterfly "Flowers and Beads" is another great tune of theirs.🌺
Was that on this album? I had the record and remember one other track that rocked but basically it was a weak album. In a gradda da vida makes up for all the inadequatancies.
@@markr.devereux3385 Yeah it was, Kind of a mellower hippy type vibe.I also liked "Almost anything you want".
@@midnightfury9001 I'll look for it. Thanks I remember clearly one summer evening I was 16 the folks were out and I listening to the record on the back patio and left to hitch a ride to my girls house. The memory is very detailed for some reason
@@midnightfury9001 MOST ANYTHING YOU WANT was probably the other decent track. You know I was born and raised in SAN DIEGO the home of the original lineup. They were a local band that hit the big-time. Also ZAPPA went to high school here and was well known before he made it big. And Steven Bishop was 1 yr. ahead of me in highschool. He went to L.A. after graduation and surprised everybody when he had an immediate hit ( On and On) and a big career in music and movies. And of course RATT who were a local bunch of punk musicians called mickey RATT and some how made it big playing the STRIP. Also JAKE E. LEE aka jake williams.who I predicted was a guitar player that might be going places I knew him through another friend and met him a couple of times. Shit when out of the blue I saw him on MTV with ozzy that blew my mind.
@@markr.devereux3385 Wow that's a great story, Always liked Stephen Bishop, I have his hits CD, "Save it for a rainy day" is one of my favorites.
I love watching you! "I feel like I'm in a jungle" "I feel like I'm in Egypt" No my friend, you were "In a Gadda Da Vida" 💞💖
The flashing video reminds me of an old looney bin song I used to hear as a kid "They're coming to take me away "
Ha ha
Hi, Jovaughn! I enjoyed watching the In A Gadda Da Vida video with you! And yes, you pronounced it right on. I was 16 years old, when a friend brought this, the Iron Butterfly's brand new second album, over to my house, saying "You GOTTA hear this!!', and right away put it on Side 2, which was entirely this 17 minute In A Gadda Da Vida track! Man, did it deliver! AND THAT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO! The band had made this great piece, with a great cool theme, that was so cutting edge good, and exciting to listen to! All the band members' solos are great, and song does take the listener on a journey through this world, where at one point, creepy things are lurking around you, making frightening roars and such. And then you escape, and make it back Home! I love listening to this same track with young guys like you, because you all have the exact SAME reactions to this recording that my age peers and I had to it, back in the day! That's why it's a masterpiece. It's timeless!
It means in the garden of Eden.
...(on acid!)
That's right.
One of my faves from back in the day. Had their album.
Oh hell yeah finally. Strap in Jay and enjoy this fun ride. Thanks. Made my day. We know what time it is. Jay about to get his mind blown.
Saw them live back in 1968 at the Civic Arena in Pittsburgh - a real trip. They played this song for at least 20 minutes. One could get stoned just breathing the ambient air. Loved it.
Ahhh...flowers in my hair, head bobbing to this song, go go boots. You should check out a band called The Cowsills. They were awesome!
Yay you doing in the garden of Eden 💗. This is a very "trippy song" 😁
Such an underrated band. They were so much more than In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida which in itself is amazing, but they had so many other tracks that you need to listen to such as; "In The Time Of Our Lives", "Soul Experience" and "Belda Beast". You will not be disappointed!
Hey Jay . . . I've always liked pop, easy listening and classical music the best but I adore InnaGaadADavida. Came out in my senior year in high school. Everybody who'd heard it loved it, too. Thx for FINALLY reacting to this! I was totally psyched when I saw this in my list! i knew you'd love it, too! 😅😅😅😅😅💓💓💓💓🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I bought this when I was 13 , in the 60s, put it on the stereo with headphones at midnight! Kids today are never blow away by something like this anymore.
13:35 '...like a jungle...like a forest.." Maybe like a garden? Good analysis.
Jay Akers He’s so incredibly astute!
I was rockin´out to this when I was 13 or 14 years old in Berlin/Germany in the 70s, I loved the drum part with it´s little shifts and stuff ;-)
Great tune and the guitarist has definitely his jimi Hendrix Mojo goin`. This was Iron Butterflys´ 1 hit wonder.
I adore this song 😍😍😍😍
That organ solo always gives me chills
Glad you finally got to this one. Next in your psychedelic playlist should be "Time has come today" by the Chambers Brothers.
One of the most famous rock songs in music history with a famous story behind it. Homework.
At age 68, if you can remember this song word for word, you know you listened to it way more than you thought in 1968!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brings back memories! We always tried to dance to the the whole song at parties. Never lasted the whole 17 minutes.
Those are the oddest solos I've ever heard. Love it! It's like they really didn't have anything prepared so they just fooled around. Drugs, drugs & more drugs!
😂
This is one of my husband's favorite rock song. He was happy to get to see this with you.
It was called tripping music. In the 60s when this song came out. Thank you very much for playing it. I have the LP .But i have not played it in sometime. By all means feel free to play more
I was 15 when this band woke up my young hippy brain!!!! You said you felt like you were in the jungle!?? You were in their 60's acid trip!!!!! It was great fun back then, rock on!!!
What a gifted generation of singers and composers we had in the 60s
i bought this album when I was 11 because I liked the art on the cover..I was just floored when I played it..its been heavy rock for me since..
17 minutes of IN-A-GADDA-DA-VIDA is TOO SHORT for me. MY HEART. THIS song HAS my heart! I was 1-year-old when this song came out. GENIUS. GENIUS. THANK YOU for keeping such a genius song and a genius band alive.
I was a student disc jockey in ‘69 at Georgia State University and this was a great record for DJ’s to put on when we needed an extended bathroom break!
One of those tunes that like so many are bridges in time.
This tune played at everywhere
Might have been the beginning of the compulsory 1 hour drum solo that every band did in the day.
Excuse me while I turn on the black light, fire up some incense. Is that patchouli in the air?
MEMORIES!!!!!
Is "Summertime Blues" from Blue Cheer or "Fire " from the Crazy World of Arthur Brown far behind?
I Loved seeing this guy Enjoy it as much as I had yrs ago. 💗
Legendarily, this song was often used by radio DeeJays back in the day when they had to run off to the bathroom and take a dump. It gave them 17 minutes to do their business.
