    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    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.

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.

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!!

    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!

    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!
