What's The Connection? In A Gadda Da Vida 1

This connection could be volumes long and probably still not have that many tracks.These 13 picks are mostly not that long but the original album version and the live version are pretty long. I put both versions as well as the single version onto this WTC. Each has it's merits. A few nice covers fill it out. This song is an example of a rock song that influenced everyone after it. Heavy metal came from here. Worth it just for the drum solo and very interesting how these other bands. Let me know if you have a favorite version of this song that I didn't put in. Like I didn't add Mojo Nixon's version (and it's good.) Comment with a few and maybe I will do part 2.

  1. Nguyen Le - Songs of Freedom 2011
    also a version by Incredible Bongo Band (2006?)

    Don't know where you get your music from and I don't know how to upload. I have to look for a version hidden in a Christmas song. I may be back.

    Thanks for this.

  2. Still looking for the version mentioned. A Japanese surf group. Doing Christmas songs. But ran across a version by The(Saint Thomas) Pepper Smelter

  3. Just listened to Nguyen Le. Pretty cool! Lots of albums. Other than Sounds Of Freedom which do you recommend?

  4. Always remember and never forget, "Inna Gadda Da Vida" can be sung to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and vice versa, because music is commutative.

  5. Sounds Of Freedom is the only album of his that I've heard. Don't know how it rates to his others but there are a lot of cool cover songs.
