Back in the 70's I was taking drumming lessons from a teacher that I didn't have any confidence in his abilities when he said the drum solo in this song was hard to master. I spent the next 8 months driving my parents crazy by practicing this solo every day of the week over and over and over. I had recently turned 12 and my sister was having a sweet 16 party. My dad paid for a band to play at her party. During their 1st break, I asked the drummer if I could play a little. He laughed at me and walked off. The party was being held in the large banquet hall in the basement of a bowling alley so everyone upstairs could still hear all the music from the band even over the noise of the bowling. Anyway, I started to get comfortable with the drum set and making one or two adjustments cause I was much smaller than the bands drummer. I started slow, but soon got down to business. I played the entire drum solo from in-a-gadda-da-vida without making even one mistake. It was the first time I realized what getting in-a-zone meant. When I was finished I was sweating and the entire hall had filled up with people cheering and clapping. People had actually stopped bowling upstairs to come down and listen. I will never forget that day.

man this song is just a masterpiece it’s crazy too cause everyone shinned for 17 minutes straight.

there was no over drumming it was all Ron ...RIP RON

Iron Butterfly was one of my first if not the first big name concert I ever attended, at Drew University in NJ. and they were every bit as good as the record. I partially blame my tinnitus on them because I used to put my head on a pillow on the floor between my Ampex bookshelf speakers and crank that song up, if I wasn't using headphones. Great reaction and informative breakdown.

Spent many a drunken nights at college having air drum battles with my friends on this one! Radar Love was a good one too.

Saw IB play this live in a rural club in the woods in '71 Epic song of that psychedelic era. Went well over 20 mins in live shows.

So where are they now? Little side story about the original bass player (Greg Willis) for Iron Butterfly. I had a friend at work (in San Diego) that invited me to go watch her partner play in a band, this is around 2001? The band was called "Candye Kane & the Swingin' Armadillos". It was a swing/boogie band. On break, she takes me back to introduce me to all the band members and I met Greg. Greg was a regular member of Candye Kane's band for 9 years. Iron Butterfly was formed in San Diego in 1966, only 2 years before this iconic track. When the band moved to L.A. Greg's father would not let him go, as he was still in high school. He ended up not speaking to his father for 33 years over this decision. I'm sure this song had something to do with it. If you were alive when this song came out, you owned this album and played it until it wore out. It was over 17 Min long...lol

I got here because I was watching your video on Michael Schrieve's solo in Soul Sacrifice which has enough similarities to this one that it triggered the memory of this. I got to watch this played on stage leaning on the back of the front columns at Massey Hall. That was the perk for hanging out back of hall offering to carry in equipment, which I did regularly. It was a double billing with the Turtles - Night and Day performances. I was a 'roadie' of a high school basement band that played things like this in a school full of soul brothers. It was the thrill of a life time to be that close to such greatness and I thank the roadie who recognized my zeal and let a roadie teenager into the concert hall for free and fixed it that I had the best seat in the house.

Back from the time where the solos were not overdubs but part of the backing track - or the live track as it is, if I'm not mistaken. Playing together, hickups all included. Just real. You can hear the moments of silence or crackle when switching effects for the guitar solo etc, and sometimes hesitation during the improvisations...

That track is used to interesting effect in a film called Manhunter, (kind of a prequel to Silence of the Lambs).used to great effect in finale of the film.

The story (Back in the day) The singer was so drunk that he slurred the words to "In The Garden Of Eden". The Band liked the sound of "In-A-Gadda-De-Vida", and they decided to print the lyrics that way. (Don't know if this story is true, but it was the story we all knew.) A lot of people then assumed that "In-A-Gadda" was some kind of "mystical chant", or "magic incantation". Since Indian mysticism was popular in the late 1960's, people assumed these lyrics had meaning. Actually, the original "Eden" lyrics were kind of spiritual....

HA! Love it

My dad saw Iron Butterfly in 1969 he said that this song closed the show it was about an hour long and Ron Bushy played a 30 minute solo and after the song end he fell off his drum throne backward due to exhaustion. My dad said the song was just like the record just longer parts. I started listing to this song at age 5 or 6. And I just knew I wanted to play drums . Check out Ron's solo live on KZread from 2012.

Saw a live performance as a college sophomore or junior at UNC-CH in 1969 or 70. It was simply amazing! The performance was in the basketball arena and it was pretty warm. The summer took his shirt off after a while and sweat glistening on his skin & flying from his hair. He was thin as a rail & looked exhausted by the end of the song. Even in that unfavorable acoustic setting, the side to side effect came through in the solo. Most of us were standing & cheering throughout the solo. But the entire performance was mesmerizing. A perfect song for the "psychedelic 60s." Heard in an "altered state" over headphones, it was a "trip."

Great song. I think I was in my teens when we found out it was, "In the Garden of Eden." Mind blown. Love the reaction.

Many many evenings sitting around smoking then illegal substances wearing this album out. Thanks for the reaction.

I wore out at least one vinyl record and several cassette tapes of this album. Still one of my favorites. Another one you should give a listen to is Rare Earth Live version of Get Ready.

my dad had this on 8 track..and a VERY expensive audio system (according to him, anyway, lol) but Id listen to this on headphones, and that panning drum solo from one side to the other and back again always felt so very tribal...like you were at the center of this 'thing' and it was moving around you...then the keyboards coming in...floating....hearing it all again tonight...just...wow...I feel like Im 10 again....glad you liked it....

i went to a iron butterfly and steppen wolf concert in 1978 steppen wolf was the head liner but after iron butter fly finished up steppen wolf came on and they were boring iron butter fiy stole the show . i could'nt beleive it iron butter fly kicked ass. one of the best concerts i have ever seen.

Great reaction to this epic pivotal moment in rock history! Loved your insightful reaction! This was back when everything anybody put out was cooler than everything else, and at any moment it felt like something like this was about to happen. It wasn't long after this that young jazz guitarist Tony Iommi invented metal, and the golden age of music began its peak as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple emerged along with Black Sabbath. Every young drummer practiced this solo, and every young guitarist practiced Smoke on the Water and Iron Man. As you said well, Ron Bushy was playing music, not "soloing", if you see what I mean, and in the process, this timeless classic solo was the result. Almost everything these days is so dismal and formulaic by comparison. It's a shame.

There's a video of them performing this so you can check to see if they recording extra drums over the basic presentation. It's really quite good. My impression is that either they were recording this performance live & it sounded just like the studio version, or they were playing while listening to the recording & matching it perfectly. You decide & let us know?

Come on , the first drum solo on a rock pop record was “Wipeout”. "Wipe Out" spent four months on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1963, reaching number 2, behind Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips". "Wipe Out" returned to the Hot 100 in 1966, reaching number 16 on the Hot 100 (and number 63 for the year), peaking at number 9 on the Cash Box chart, selling approximately 700,000 copies in the U.S. The single spent a grand total of 30 weeks on the Hot 100. *** Drummer Sandy Nelson issued different versions on multiple LPs. In 1970, "Wipe Out" peaked at number 110 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

Just to correct myself, Gene Krupa in 1934, played the famous drum solo back when pop music included some commercial jazz. With the Benny Goodman Orchestra, Gene Krupa’s tom-tom interludes on the hit "Sing, Sing, Sing" were the first extended drum solos to be recorded commercially. * Gene Krupa appeared in the 1941 film Ball of Fire, in which he and his band performed an extended version of the hit "Drum Boogie" (composed by Krupa and Roy Eldridge), sung by Martha Tilton and lip-synced by Barbara Stanwyck.

Ron Bushy was awesome, and he had the greatest ‘drumming face’ of all time. With his extremely dramatic grimacing, he always appeared to either be in great pain, or mortal danger.. And a footnote: yes, the lyrics were supposed to be ‘In The Garden Of Eden’. They were sung “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” because vocalist Doug Ingle was completely wasted on a certain “substance” during the recording session. This information is courtesy of Mickey Hart, drummer and percussionist of the Grateful Dead and also an amazing author. Check out his most excellent book “Drumming At The Edge Of Magic”, written in 1998.

My dad loved to listen to this on LP with a brandy, As we got a cassette in the car, and latter CDs, the album became a gag gift. But, as my parents are both going through issues, this is perfect timing for a zone out. The Iron Butterfly theme is the theme for the Psychedelic Radio Headshop on KUNM in Albuquerque on Sat nights US. Cheers.

1968 I was 8. Having 3 older brothers and a sister who were in to the rock of the 60s was a great Era to be introduced to rock music. I still have this album in my collection. It will always be a classic album

Every teenager in those years had a copy of this and knew how to air-drum to this. I still can...

That back and forth stuff was them playing with stereo as it was a new invention. Went well with LSD Fun to watch you react. This is the first time I've listened to it in a while, in headphones with my hearing aids in. No wonder I love it.

This is one of those pieces of music that sounds much better when kicked back in front of a stereo system with great speakers than it does with headphones. Those extreme panning effects are less noticeable, except for the part where the drum pan slides back and forth, and the general effect in the room is that the blended sound gives a good aural "image" of the band and their placement on the stage in front of you.

There is a video (film) of them playing this song; it's great.

this was recorded in one take, the sound check, no less. It is a well-orchestrated piece in terms of timing and execution. Bushy's drum solo is remarkable and rare in that he plays not to just a melody he can hear, but that everyone can. The last series of drumming falls are even more extraordinary, hypnotic and tranceworthy, difficult for any drummer to maintain.

Iron Butterfly was my first rock concert experience. My first ever concert was Simon and Garfunkel. This is the first time I've listened to "In A Gadda Da Vida" in ... I dunno, a l o-o-o-ng time. It whipped me right back to one of the happiest times of my life. I was 20, I and my little brother had formed a little band with some of his schoolmates. We submitted our version of this to a contest being held by a local radio station, and were chosen as one of 3 finalists, to open for a Sajid Khan show. Only three minutes or so were allotted, so we played 'Shake' by Shadows of Knight - and lost to the band that played Spirit's "Fresh Garbage". For a couple of years ,when we gigged, "In A Gadda Da Vida" was the standout for most (bar and high school) audiences. Our version took up most of a 45-minute set. ALL of the cassettes we made were simply thrown away by an ex of mine. *sigh* I remember a music critic of the time describing it as "The 20 minute belch that is 'In A Gadda Da Vida'. A Lawrence Welk fan, I assume.

Now we're talking. Had my copy back '68, my 2nd cousin it to me to check out some psychedelic rock. 10 year me had the solo down pat. By the way Sina drums does a cover of this and it's pretty good. So good Ron Bushy's widow commented on how proud he'd have been to hear it. There are a couple live versions of this including one that clocks in around 20+ minutes the last time the original members played together.

Thanks Mate. I've got really nice memories with this album and my drumming.

Fun fact: Ringo Starr's only "drum solo" on a Beatles album is in "The End" on Abbey Road. Ringo has said that it was inspired by Ron Bushy's solo in this song, and you can definitely hear it.

It leaves you with the impression that it was developed out of a jam session since it has few words, with each member adding their own idea. In regard to over drumming a poster on another video said it was a double base pedal. Even though double pedals for base drum came out in the 30's, most rockers used 2 base drums tuned differently. So what ever it's an original very good, composed arrangement.

This is why I like certain 60’s psychedelic rock especially live as some of their songs go off on a tangent and then bring it back brilliant song, bit late to the party here it’s first time I’ve seen this !! But great content
