In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968) by Iron Butterfly

I can still hear my mother screaming up the stairs “TURN THAT SHIT DOWN” and me yelling back down at her “BUT THEY ARE YOUR RECORDS” I was 16 and she was in her early 40s and it was 1979. My mom had an extensive record collection.

RIP founder and lead singer Douglas Ingle. Died 5/24/24 at age 78. Wrote this masterpiece of psychedelia. Thanks for the music.

My 72 year old body is in my 15 year old bedroom with headphones staring at the ceiling right now. Great time to be alive.

Just turned 80 today and this song is still knocking them down

Whenever I listen to In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, so do my neighbors.

I'm 74 and still love this after so many years. Those drums take me back to a place and time I miss.

My ex was stationed in Vietnam. He was leaving the bar area when this song came on. He stayed to listen to it. His sleeping barracks were attacked and destroyed. He would not have lived nor would I have my children. Long Live rock and roll and thank you Iron Butterfly ❤

I saw them in SLC when I was 19. It seems like just yesterday I'm 74 now. I feel so fortunate to have lived a life in such amazing times.

I’m an old black granny. We all partied to this song back in the day! Had this on vinyl, then CD. Now listening on my boom and iPhone. Great rock will never die!

I love being old ..all this fantastic music we got to listen to..been a great musical ride ..

A few years ago i was in a bar with a friend. She had an app that let her control the Juke Box. She asked what song she should play. I suggested this song, so she played it. The reactions from the people in the bar was hilarious. Many didn't get it, but others were happy to hear it. Another experience, i stayed with a friend at Myrtle Beach. There was a nearby restaurant that had a good breakfast. She went to play the Juke Box and i told her to play In-A-Gadda- Da- Vida. This time most people got excited and talked about how long it had been since they heard this song. I think this song has a place in the hearts of those of us that are a certain age. I don't feel they got all the attention they deserved for their talent.

I'm 69 now, but I am 14 again when I hear this music. There is absolutely magic anywhere, anytime you want it. Love you , Boomers, and you younger folks, too.

I am 79 and I never get tired of this masterpiece. No other band has ever come close too the beauty of this composition. It is a sacred song of Rock history. I hope they play it in the afterlife.

In 1968 I was doing my AIT after Basic Training in the Army at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri. We were in old WW2 barracks. Every night at 9pm the local radio station would play this masterpiece, the long version. We were on the second floor, 24 of us , and this song would rock us to sleep for 8 weeks. For quite some time after that I would need to play it on my 8 track so I could go to sleep. Geez that was a long time ago.

I’m 73 We lived in the time of love party and rock and roll Saw many concerts Wouldn’t change a thing Except it would be nice to be able to revisit this time Those of my age were so lucky to have lived when we did God bless all of us !!!

20 years old, and my water had just broke. Getting ready to go to the hospital and this song came on the radio. "Wait," I said to hubs, and sat back down on the bed. "Gotta hear the drum solo." Lol! I'll have to tell the kid about that. He's 50 now and had to wait to be born!

Only Doug Ingle is alive now of this version of the Iron Butterfly line-up. Ron Bushy died Aug 29th 2021, Lee Dorman died December 21, 2012 and Eric Braun was the first to depart us on July 25th, 2003. May God bless them all. Some of the greatest music ever created.

When music was still music ❤️🙏🏽
