Iron Butterfly Butterfly Bleu

Damn Erik Barnett is just ridiculously amazing! It would be cool to see him with Iron Butterfly again.

lo veo dificil.... es muy complejo..... especilamente por que con esa formacion. no alcanzaron el exito comercaill.. solo se que hay videos con: Eric Brann Doug Ingle Lee Dorman Ron Bushy.. nada mas

awesome live perfomance of this song!

An underrated psychedelic blues masterpiece from an underrated rock band. The guitarist here is Eric Barnett who is no longer with the band, but what a killer performance he delivers here. I want to see these overrated dorks like John Mayer try to outplay this guy!

Iron Butterfly not only Greatest Group they are my young age and Butterfly blues my favourit song

Great to sear/hear them back...where did all the Love go? CALLEN [TheVoice]

@BloozeDaddy76 i don't think John Mayer is a good example of an overrated musician, he's really good. It's simply something you can't deny, or you don't want to see it (:. And i do agree with you at all the other points.

Man, what a magical preformance...From 7:20 and on to the end i got into a trippy/dreamy kind of state :) Thanks very much for putting this up! And PRETTYPLEASEWITHSUGARONTOP... If you've got more vids from this show, put em up!

I saw them in 1971 doing this live at the Royal Albert Hall with Yes supporting them and purchased the album Metamorphosis shortly afterwards and it still gets played !! Thanks for posting the video.....awesome track ;-)

thanks for posting! very cool! I saw them way back when Pinera & Rhino had just joined...it was great! this is a great recording!

Hahahahaha thanks man Thanks... Greetings From Chile

Who is the lead singer??

Larry Rust is on the organ - who is no longer in the band. The guitar player singing is Eric Barnett, also not in the band anymore..

what a monster of a song! great performance indeed!

Saw them do this live at the Royal Albert Hall with YES as the support act. Love it

@Stoaty123 great experience my friend

My favorite song from one of my favorite rock albums - "Metamorphosis!" When I met Mike Pinera (the original singer - and guest with Larry Reinhardt on the album) in between a set in the 80s at Hop Singh's in L.A., I mentioned how much I loved the album, and he shrugged, seemingly oblivious to it! You definitely hear the beginnings of Captain Beyond here!

@BloozeDaddy76 "Metamorphosis" was an unheralded classic. Excellent songs, arrangements and production. Still one of my favorite albums. I always have the CD in my car with the rest of my driving picks.

that was amazing

Да,очень душевно!

wow! wow! wow! usually i put some music i like and don't stop watching the videos, doing some other things the same time..this solo i stood still and charmed and was loving every moment of it! thanks!

As Much as I disliked Dougs voice NO-ONE sings it like him... Also NO-ONE played the Guit like RHINO!

Eric Barnett ! Great ! Finally I've found this guy. He was with Club Adobe band when they toured in Russia back in 1989. Many years passed since then. I lost track of him for so long, but now I see him again. What a great experience ! I've just recalled how we drank vodka in Moscow and had a lot of fun with Moscow chicks. Those were the times ! Eric, why dont you come to Moscow again, me and Rudy will be glad to see ya.

What sort of guitar is that? It almost looks like a Les Paul Junior, but I don't think it is.

Hi there! I'm from Holland and I've never seen Eric Barnett before nor can I find any real information of him. Can you tell me something, for instance in which bands he played, is he still active in music, were does he come from? He surely gives a killer performance and.....has a very sexy voice..... Thnx greetings Dutch girl

Idd. er is verder weinig over hem te vinden. Hij is geweldig. jammer dat er niet meer van hem te vinden is.

Where was this ?

love it,,,,,,, what about getting away from the rock stage and get into some deep blues,,,, would be awsum debi

in a word.....fanfuckintastic

Itchycoo Park Camping Experience, Manchester, Tennessee in the summer of 1999. It is the same location as the current Bonnaroo Festival.

It's a great tune, should have been on the radio but this guitar player/singer can't hold a candle to Mike Pinera who originally did this with Iron Butterfly in the early 1970s. Check it out - click on the link to the right... be sure to listen to part 1 & 2 they're just absolutely killer!!!!!

I agree Iyamni, I think Metamorphosis was their best work ever. Mike Pinera and Larry Rhinehard (now deceased) were excellent together and the songs were by far the best they ever did.

I have known Mike Pinera since the early 1970s. He's not only an incredible guitar player/singer/ songwriter/performer, he's also a helluva nice guy. He used to jam with my band, Axis, in Ft. Lauderdale back then. I know Lee Dorman has since passed away as well as El Rhino (Larry Rinehartd) and Mike is just recovering from a critical case of sepsis in his blood stream but he is still rockin' it loke nobody's business.

where is the other guitarist ?

yes its worth a new Playlist
