  This song is the very definition of psychedelic rock

  Acid rock from the 1960's. What a great time to be alive.

  It doesn&apos;t <b>have</b> psychedelic influence; it <b>is</b> psychedelic influence. They&apos;re one of the originals!

  When my youngest son was in high school band, I rashly promised him a drum set if he could learn this. I was unaware of their price. One evening at a school concert, my son surprised me with this song. He learned his part well, especially only practicing at school. Naturally the whole band including the teacher knew about our deal. It was worth the money, considering the look of pride on his face. I’m still proud of him, though he gave up drumming. He gave his mother and I, 5 grand children, I think I got the best deal in the end!

  You know the story on how the name came about? Doug Ingle wrote the song and was the lead singer and organ player. Well, he went to sing it for the band and he was so drunk that when he sang what was supposed to be, “In the Garden of Eden Baby”, it sounded to the band like “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida&quot;. 😂 So, they kept it. 😂

  This song is the boomers generation anthem. Born in the mid 50’s. &nbsp;60’s &amp; 70’s music was the best. &nbsp;Nothing artificial here. &nbsp;Pure rock. &nbsp;This song brings back so many memories. &nbsp;It’s a wonder Iron Butterfly sounded so good as stoned as they were. &nbsp;🤣

  Hats off to Harri for playing the long version which is the one that does this song justice.

  Some of the differences between the 1960s/1970s and now are: People were thinner. People had healthy, shiny hair. People had energy. And people had the patience to listen to long songs on FM radio and to watch double features at the movies. LOL

  The late, great Ron Bushy on drums with the most iconic drum solo known to man. &nbsp;RIP! &nbsp;Thanks, Harri!

  This was the beginning of rock and roll for me at least. You couldn&apos;t go anywhere in the hippie scene without hearing this

  I think Ron Bushy&apos;s drum solo in this is one of the best ever. &nbsp;Not fancy, not hot dogging - just very rhythmic and melodic and I love it.
