Iron Butterfly on American Bandstand
posted by on May 15 at 12:37 PM
This Iron Butterfly video proves at least three things:
1. youtube.com obviates the need ever to watch network television again” unless there’s a major terrorist attack or an Olympics happening.
2. Heavy, ambitious psychedelic rock like “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” was Top 40 fare at one point in history. Astounding. (On a side note, there’s a sweetass drum break near the end of this song just aching to be sampled.)
3. Dick Clark has always been a tool.
PIL's performance on Bandstand was pretty funny. They made no attempt to hide it that they we're not playing live.
I saw the original broadcast; awesome. I wonder what Dick Clark's blood pressure reading was during that spectacle…
