IRON BUTTERFLY In Concert >>>More Iron Butterfly All Star Band
THE IRON BUTTERFLY CELEBRITY SHOW: We appreciate celebrity stars, Iron Butterfly, for the outstanding performance in Downtown Ventura. The fundraising show made contributions for our student scholarships in 2014. The band is truly professional entertainment to the highest degree. Thank you to the Iron Butterfly All Star Band members, Geoff Pocock visual artist, Profound Entertainment sound technicians, and our extraordinary staff.
ALL ABOUT THEM: 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".
The album, "Ball", climbed to Number 3 on the U. S. pop charts. After 1970, Iron Butterfly released their fourth studio album, Metamorphosis. which reached to the top 20 of the music industry. The band broke up after playing a final show on May 23, 1971, but reformed in 1974. In December 1978 and 1985 the band dissolved and reformed yet again in 1987.
In early 2010, an announcement was made that Iron Butterfly would receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 20th Annual San Diego Music Awards, which took place on September 12, 2010. The award was presented by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders. Despite health issues, death, animosity, and various new players Iron Butterfly continues as a legend in the art of cultural rock.
