An Amazing American band known for the 1968 hit ” In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”. Enjoy the most dramatic sound leading the way in hard rock music. In 1966, the band originally formed in San Diego, California. Peak success was achieved in the late 1960’s.
The band is now reincarnated again. Their seminal 1968 album is among the world’s 40 best-selling albums, selling more than 30 million copies. Iron Butterfly is also notable for being the very first group to receive an RIAA platinum award when their album had sold over three million copies by the end of 1970
With the most unique sound, the music inspiration came from a variety of sources outside of the rock arena era. One of Led Zeppelin’s first tours in the U.S. was playing with Iron Butterfly.
Originally, the band was booked to play at the famous Woodstock Festival but had problems at the airport. When their manager called the promoters of the concert they explained the situation and asked for patience. However, the manager demanded that the 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. The manager was told that this would be taken into consideration and he would be called back. According to drummer Bushy, “We went down to the Port Authority three times and waited for the helicopter, but it never showed up”.
