Song of the day for January 2 2024
In a 1999 live performance, Iron Butterfly showcased "Butterfly Bleu" and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." The band's former guitarist, Larry Reinhardt, known as "El Rhino" and "Ryno," passed away in 2012. Although not part of the performance, he contributed to the band from 1969 to 1993. Link to performance: https://youtu.be/JLAXfC6yfew?si=KfTc_gYfO2OsbDuS
Todays song is a little longer one for today and its a 2 for 1. I chose a cool live version of Iron Butterfly performing Butterfly Bleu and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida from a live performance in 1999.
American rock guitarist Larry Reinhardt died January 2 2012 aged 63 of cirrhosis of the liver. He played with Iron Butterfly and Captain Beyond. At one time Reinhardt was known by the nicknames “El Rhino” and “Ryno”
I know he was not a part of the band at the time of this performance but he was still a big part of the band from 1969–1971, 1977–78, 1978–79, 1981–1984, 1988–1993.
