The drumbeat is just so good that it grooves constantly

The original Acid Rock. Both sacred, and profane. Heavy water light show, The whole psychedelic experience.

Guitar player is 17

I appreciate your ability to listen to music outside your comfort zone. And this was 1968, the year I was born - everybody was high! That's why I'm so crazy🤪

The organ sound, particularly in the section after the drum solo, is very much referencing J.S. Bach. Doug Ingle's (the organist) father was a church organist. (The organ is a Vox Continental.) Anyway, back in the day this song was divisive. Some people loved it for the trippy vibe and the extended jam solos; others thought it was boring and too long and not interesting enough instrumentally. It is definitely a vibe. I personally love it and particularly love the drum solo, which has that powerful low tribal sound, and when he brings back the hi-hat groove, it's funky.

The opening arpeggios honestly reminded me of Beethoven (Moonlight Sonata Mvt. 3)

Psychedelic indeed!! 😊 I never worried about a story line or what instrument was playing, just enjoyed the ride. I grew up in this era. A wonderful, free and enlightening time. Love this song!!!!

That riff is quite the iconic riff. I believe it’s been in movies like James Bond or something.

Awesomeness 😎

It's a Vox organ-reminds me of church. In fact back in the 90s there was a Simpsons episode where the organist plays In A Gadda Da Vida and when she finishes the congregation flicks their bic lighters.

Dog gone Bart anyway. Lol Loved how the organist was going crazy playing. And then Homer getting flashbacks. 🚜🤠🐂

Love love love your reactions to the classics. This one I only listened to on occasion..but I love psychedelic songs of the 60s 😂 Peace out ✌️ ☮️

It was the drummer that wrote down this title after trying to translate the words of a very drunken lead singer... and this is the best he could come up when he wrote it as the songs title.... ✌️😉

It was a case of red wine he went through in the hotel room, but yeah, the rest of the band laughed and said we'll keep the title the way you pronounced it.

He played the Vox organ/keyboard. These were good times. I spent many nights listening to this album in my bedroom as a 15 yr old kid...high as a kite! 😁

Need to Check out some SteppenWolf if you haven’t already…Born to Wild…Magic Carpet Ride…Sookie Sookie…The Pusher…great classic music

I got to see Iron Butterfly along with Led Zeppelin back in 1970 when I was 16.

Lucky, man... I was born in 71. I heard this stuff in the womb! Love playing it as a bassist. Takes me back to elementary school...

If you have ever seen the first of the Hannibal Lecter movies - Manhunter, directed by Michael Mann - you will always associate the movie with this song going forward. The closing scene is intense and this song is the backdrop.

I forgot they used that in "Manhunter" not many people know of that movie pretty scary stuff in that movie.

Epic drum solo. Everybody knew this by heart and played "air drums" to this solo all the time. My interpretation of the screeching guitar is when the devil shows up in the Garden and ruins the bliss of Eden.

the best thing about this tune is the drum solo !

I found this album at a goodwill store for $2. Classic epic song

An early extended jam from another West Coast psychedelic jam band. Soon after its release, every garage band playing high school dances started featuring drum solos. Great band & song. ✌️❤️🎶

Vox keyboards. P.S. mason jars are the best drinking glasses.

Every time I hear the guitar solo, I mentally picture Ricky Ricardo banging his heart out......baba loo.

My mom used to listen to this❤

This is my father’s generation. I remember as a kid he put headphones on me so I could hear the drums bouncing from ear to ear.

Acid Rock! I first heard this song when I was 12 years old, when I didn't know anything about anything. I loved the beat and the drum solo, then purchased the album, my 1st music purchase. This was near the beginning of the music journey that continues to this day.

Iron Butterfly bassist Phillip Kramer strange disappearance. The remains of one-time 1999. He'd been missing for four years, and to this day nobody knows exactly what happened to him. Kramer had reportedly been working on a revolutionary method of transporting information and matter through space, and his father remained unconvinced his death was a suicide. "Taylor had told me a long time before, there was people giving him problems," he said. "They wanted what he was doing, and several of them had threatened him. He told me 'If I ever say I'm gonna kill myself, don't . "They wanted what he was doing, and several of them had threatened him. He told me 'If I ever say I'm gonna kill myself, don't you believe it. I'm gonna be needing help.'"

I saw the Iron Butterfly @ the Fillmore West in San Francisco. My first concert age 16, It was a blast!!

I have 3 Iron Butterfly albums, very dark and heavy music, I bought them back in the late 60's early 70's, they are a little too intense for me now lol

I wondered if you’d get around to this one. Most people can’t sit through the whole thing. Car trips or a treadmill tune! Props to you for finding the groove! I wasn’t sure you’d actually enjoy much of it ✌🏻

At the time late 60's we would smoke and chill out listening to this tune, usually in someone's car or basement.....

My first funk album 54 years ago at the age of 14. Every 8th grader had to know this drum solo on his desk of sorted books.

Hahaha I had Iron Butterfly posters on the wall in my teen years.

The live is just flat out bad ass. There are a couple live but one stands above them all🤘❤️

If you are picking up the pieces which the coming music was based on, don't overlook Arthur Brown's "Fire". You have to see the video (=TV recording). This was a hit in Summer -68 both in Europe and USA, well before Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple.

Trippin' Balls back in the day!

Never heard that parts of the song represent a part in the Adam & Eve Story. It's every person for themselves as far as interpreting what this song does to their haid! It's a "close your eyes" type of song and "let the music in" to work its magic. Always looking for a new reactor to this classic! Thanks for posting yours!! Keyboard looks like a very early (1964?) Vox Continental, same model The Animals used for "House of the Rising Sun."

it was 1968 they all where high

Say them live at the Filmone West, great show. Blessed to have been there

Check out the Chamber Brothers- Time Had Come Today..

The actual name is In the "Garden of Eden". The album company gave it that name.

There are some good songs on the rest of album.

- Indeed. - I love the ENTIRE album

Anytime we were at a venue that asked for requests, he would yell out "In A Gadda Da Vida" . Noone took him up on it lol. Get High Mugs and listen again lol. I'm certainly no experpert or close to it, but they have 1, 2 or 3 knobs on the guitar and together with certain amps could make SOUNDS haha.

CLASSIC.

Have this and the live on OG vinyl (thanks to my 81 yr old Dad)!

1969 was a great time for going to the SF rock houses !

Absolutely Iconic riff and song.

Back in the day we would listen to the local radio station playing album sides all night. None of the crappy auto tune, techno, drum machine, weird circular sounding junk that's out there now. Miss that

He looks like he's high. Lol. How else would you play this mug? Lol

Great song to pass the miles away on the I 95.

In the garden of eden it's saying.

Try not to make such a big deal out of what the song means. Doug Engel used a Vox organ. He and his father played in the church choir. Ron bushey's drum solo what's extended in concerts. Seen them at the ASU Activity Center in 1968. Well sort of the smoke in there was quite heavy and it wasn't cigarettes.lol And again in 81. They were the first band to introduce us to the talk box as well. They use one in the song called Butterfly Bleu. It's as long as this one. There is a video of them performing it for Life TV. They ran commercial free so they could listen to the song without so they could listen to the song without interruption. 🚜🤠🐂

- Great back story to this song! - Give it a google...

its called a pick scrape. start high and go low it adds suspence, and being a slide between pitches its discordance makes it stand out.same with the slide from low to high add shock.and yes this is THE ORIGINAL. noone else did it this way, true acid rock.

6:19 I do like distortion almost as much as dissonance.

If you want to hear a metal version of this song, check out SLAYER's cover "In the Garden of Eden" 🤘

12:18 The keys are VOX.

Carter Beaufort from Dave Matthews band is a monster on drums , bartender or seven are great songs with difficult drums beats

❤❤

Nas "hip hop is dead" uses this sample.

It's called prog Mug!

Mug, try 2000 light years from home by the Rolling Stones, then take Echoes by Pink Floyd then do Incence and Peppermints by The Strawberry Alarm Clock then I Can See For MJiles by The who then Steppenwolf thenEric Burdon and the Animals then Eve Of Destruction by Barry maguire then I'M Just A Singer In A Rock And Roll Band by the Moody Blues Then The Moody Blues all albums.

You might want to check out Hawkwind. They made some great dynamic trippy space rock

RIP Doug Ingle.

Been a bassist since early 80's, musician since mid 70's... played on 15 hits of acid more than a few times... I feel "weak" compared to them live... just listen to it... you will see my point...

Are you asking if the guitar implies penetration 😂….listen to Steve Vai tender surrender if you want that ( ps he played guitar for David Lee Roth after he left Van Halen and he wasn’t looking to downgrade from Eddie )

You want a good drum solo? Let's put you on to an a capella band "Home Free" for world class beatboxer "Adam Rupp Drum Solo".

Adam asks Eve to come with him and walk this land. Not about sex. Fun dance marathon song in the '70s.

Sampled by Nas (Hip Hop Is Dead)

- PSYCHEDELIC fo sho! :) - At its best

One of the first stoner songs.

I think this song is story of Adam and Eve and the loss of God and walking out of Eden

Count DRACULA had a harpsichord not a organ

We were too stoned to care.

16:49 That's dissonance.

Church pipe organs.

Please don't think hip hop created this. Way before it was thought of but in reality...it came from the blues. The blues and maybe.....drugs.

You don't need to be the most talented to jam it...

if you like a good drum solo Led Zeppelin Moby Diick Bonham was a the best
