Iron Butterfly - Butterfly Bleu (live TV 1969)

Courtesy of the Clark Santee archives, here’s one of progenitors of heavy rock in America with Iron Butterfly performing their theme song Butterfly Bleu, no doubt causing raised eyebrows across living rooms in 1969 with this impassioned performance. Best known for their classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida smash hit in 1968 and plagued with lineup changes, this is one of the first examples of a guitar solo with talk-box, a sound popularised some years later by Peter Frampton. This clip of Iron Butterfly live proves well worth the price of admission!
