As seen in a previous BLOG, I met Vanilla Fudge and was invited to another show they were doing a few weeks later. At that show it was Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly, and Nazz. Well, my wife and I could not have been happier. We entered the venue, and asked for Tommy (the road manager). We were sent back stage, and there we met all the members of Iron Butterfly (http://www.ironbutterfly.com/), Mitch Ryder, Lou Christie, and Nazz, along with revisiting all the guys from Vanilla Fudge. I have to say that the only real way to see Iron Butterfly is from the side of the stage, backstage, and only then can you really appreciate the talent of the DRUMMER, who at over 60 yrs of age, did not miss a beat on the extended version of IN-A-GADDA-DE-VIDA. If anything he sounds better today and live then on the original record. What a show. And of course, we got everyone's autograph.
