In A Gadda Da Vida

my brother's girl friend had the cd with the full version. i couldn't get it on i-tunes.
this is a classic. 17-plus minutes.

This might make a good trip report.

You just HAD to go there, eh, alan???

it's my ringtone!

High school radio station. Best Bathroom song EVER. Even better than American Pie. lol

I still have the vinyl LP but don’t have a turntable hooked up. I have not spun a 33 1/3 for a long time. I don’t think I could currently make it thru a 17:03 song without having to make at least one potty break.

I remembered something about the missing Iron Butterfly bass player mentioned by Anderson so I looked it up. He didn’t find Eden, he found the bottom of a canyon in Malibu and they found his bones in 1999.

There was a Las Vegas connection with Philip Taylor Kramer, the deceased butterfly; he worked on fractal compression, facial recognition systems for the defense department. You would think that a guy who was a musician in his era with a band that encouraged fans in a drug induced stupor would be kind of a burn out. Well, he was rather intelligent and/or he possibly was a natural burn out since his father had a long-running family effort to discredit Albert Einstein's theories. Some strange stuff back in the seventies man.

i was a drummer years....ago. the drum solos on this song are amazing. without computer help.

My eigth grade formal, circa 1972- the local band thats performing is taking a short break and three classmates take the stage to do two songs. This one and Neil Youngs "Down by the river". Must have jammed for 45 minutes while the other band fumed.

Once a drummer, always a drummer.


Keep on Rock'n Brother.

I have a Carver receiver and a killer turntable and yes- it's hooked up
