Drug out my Iron Butterfly album from high school and played In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. What fun!

Too funny. I just threw this album on, checked the Asylum, and found this thread.
I attended their last concert, and it was a good one. I remember they said one band member had ear damage, and one wanted to go to Israel, so the band was calling it quits. The drummer broke his arm getting off the plane, but the show went on. It was a good one, too.
Old joke back in the day,What are the 3 songs that have been played the most-
1. Happy birthday
2. Auld Lang Syne, &
3. In-A-Gadda-Da- VidaWas later replaced by, "Stair Way to Heaven or "Whipping Post".

A few years ago I heard that if "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers was played back to back for every every time its ever been played on the radio, it would last 30+ years.
Tequila Sunrise, ... The list could go on. Someone finds out I have some Seger records and asks me what my favorite songs are. I reply "the ones they don't play on the radio.

Rock FM radio was just making a big time debut in Detroit. You could hear that song played many times during the day..WABX..would like to find that album to find out what it sounds like in a much better format.
Question: What was Dionysis 69? It was some artistic theater group that was interviewed many times that summer on WABX.
is a good description.
Thanks for the memories, rlindsa.
For Christmas one year (probably 1969), my parents gave me a set of Magnavox headphones. My dad ran a line from the Magnavox console in the living room under the house and up to the head of my bed. At bedtime, I could put LP(s) on that baby, turn off the lights quickly, run to my bed, get under the covers, and listen!
I'd owned the album for some months, so I'd heard the magnum opus , but just “normally.”
And I had heard things about the drum solo.
That first eyes-closed, lying in bed, first-pair-of-stereo-headphones experience of Ron Bushy's Great Solo was my first – and maybe still strongest – psychedelic experience.
Bear in mind that, at age 16, I hadn't yet tasted beer, let alone touched anything stronger of any sort.
Simply stated, the drums floated around my head in a circle. Can't remember if it was clockwise or counter-.
¡WoW!
I've still got the LP, though I haven't heard it in decades. Haven't even cleaned it. I may have to get that baby back up and running. See if I can find the innocence to appreciate it anew.

I have the LP too, and I trot it out every now and then. I still like it!
I remember dancing with the girls at the Junior High dances when the bands would crank out all 17 minutes plus!
See ya. Dave
Little-remembered but excellent movie made great use of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."

I believe it was 8 or 10 years ago or so. For whatever reason Bart was in charge of the music for the church organist. He snuck in a copy of In-a-gadda-da-vida and the organist played it and it was one of the funniest episodes I have ever seen on the Simpsons. She played the whole 17 minutes worth. I laughed my a** off. One of the all time greatest Simpsons episodes.

Good movie ... Directed by the great Michael Mann (prior to popular Silence of the Lambs/Hannible Lector series of films).As a bizarre side note: Iron Butterfly band member Philip Taylor Kramer (July 12, 1952 – February 12, 1995) ... bass guitar player for the rock group during the 1970s ... died under mysterious circumstances ... was featured on Unsolved Mysteries TV program.
