Arguably the most iconic drum solo in classic rock. Definitely the highlight of the song. Saw them live way back in 1967.

Just sitting around in a dimly lit room getting high. The perfect party song, fast enough to give you some energy, but not so much as to have you jump up and start dancing. This is the original. They made a shorter version, eliminating solos, for TV appearances.
@davidhowe54155 ай бұрын
The organ sound, particularly in the section after the drum solo, is very much referencing J.S. Bach. Doug Ingle's (the organist) father was a church organist. (The organ is a Vox Continental.) Anyway, back in the day this song was divisive. Some people loved it for the trippy vibe and the extended jam solos; others thought it was boring and too long and not interesting enough instrumentally. It is definitely a vibe. I personally love it and particularly love the drum solo, which has that powerful low tribal sound, and when he brings back the hi-hat groove, it's funky.

Iron Butterfly bassist Phillip Kramer strange disappearance. The remains of one-time 1999. He'd been missing for four years, and to this day nobody knows exactly what happened to him. Kramer had reportedly been working on a revolutionary method of transporting information and matter through space, and his father remained unconvinced his death was a suicide. "Taylor had told me a long time before, there was people giving him problems," he said. "They wanted what he was doing, and several of them had threatened him. He told me 'If I ever say I'm gonna kill myself, don't . "They wanted what he was doing, and several of them had threatened him. He told me 'If I ever say I'm gonna kill myself, don't you believe it. I'm gonna be needing help.'"

Try not to make such a big deal out of what the song means. Doug Engel used a Vox organ. He and his father played in the church choir. Ron bushey's drum solo what's extended in concerts. Seen them at the ASU Activity Center in 1968. Well sort of the smoke in there was quite heavy and it wasn't cigarettes.lol And again in 81. They were the first band to introduce us to the talk box as well. They use one in the song called Butterfly Bleu. It's as long as this one. There is a video of them performing it for Life TV. They ran commercial free so they could listen to the song without so they could listen to the song without interruption. 🚜🤠🐂
