Lyrics:
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
Don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
Don't you know that i'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
Don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
Don't you know that i'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!

(Solos)

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, honey,
Don't you know that I love you?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby,
Don't you know that i'll always be true?

Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand?

Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land?

Please take my hand!

One of the best rock songs ever written in my opinion.

I was introduced to these guys in 1969, I was 10 years old ! Perfect way to start my love of ROCK& ROLE music!¡

[Mrisacrowd]

Discovered this in my brothers record collection in the 70´s. I was forbidden to touch his records. But when I was alone, I put this record on and that was really mindblowing for that time. Some years later when he moved out he left this record. I used this drumsolo to practise after, sitting in a armchair moving my feet and hands. Copied every stroke that I could hear.

The best of the best, and the real fun starts at 3:52 (not for my neighbours ofcourse)..

[CarlosGonzalez-mrqz]

My dad had this record. Used to love looking at that album cover and always discovering something I hadn't seen before.

"Hey, Marge, remember when we used to make-out to this hymn?"

1971 ... I was 11 ... smoked some of a first joint with hippies ... forever hippie ( stopped smokin"m)

[christophemounier]

18:49 of happiness ! When I was young, I used to listen this version. It reminds me the years that have gone...

[goldielocxnn]

"πρῶτος μεταξὺ ἴσων" or simply said primus inter pares...!
Such inimitable vituosity.

And because I love all of my family and friends more than myself I've decided to have this whole version played at my funeral.
Just to let them know I'll be in "The Garden" by then...

[SouthWest]

The singer has a distinctive voice, as Lemmy of Motorhead fame. Highly enjoyable for this classic back in the day. HAIL Thee Eternally HEAVY!!!

I was 6yr in 70 when I first heard this

Unforgettable

[clarkewi]

I was introduced to the IB early '67 at one of the Dave Diamond Concerts in LA out in the Valley. They were opening for Love and then fhe Doors. Those concerts were absolutely phenomenal as one great band led to another topped off by the Lizard King himself. The organs of the IB and the Doors created an eerie mood. I was only 15 and had ingested a little purple pill and began to feel the effects when the IB came on. And how did I "come on". I had never heard a band who played so clearly as the IB and the Doors. It was so loud the building shook. But so clear. Will never forget it.

I bought the studio version of this record and later bought the live album and like the "Live" better

[paullamarche]

MY MOTHER WENT THROUGH A LOT TO GET ME THIS ALBUM. FOR MY BIRTHDAY, I WAS TWELVE YEAES OLD IN SIXTH GRADE . WAS ALREADY ABLE TO PLAY IT ON MY COMBO PEARL AND LUDWIG DRUM SET, WAS AND IS SOME OF THE BEST ROCK AND ROLE. EVER AND IT WAS LIVE BABY

[rudolfhaase]

Doug Ingle passed away. Hope he now is In a gadda da vida.

[stuartgreer]

When I was young, we started our Saturday night trips on acid with this song. Good times.

[denniscarlson]

Friends of mine, not as steeped in Iron Butterfly as others, are somewhat amazed when I tell them that they have to try the live version of In A Gadda Da Vida, and discover that Ingle's voice is even deeper outside of the studio than in. I compare it to something coming out of the bottom of a cement

[jdmresearch]

Fast, yes, but the bass tone? Amazing. What a riff.

[cegasel]

superbe musique qui me rappelle ma jeunesse.

[paullamarche]

Some of the best Rock & Role there ever was.! 65 and still doin it all ! And i do mean ALL
