That record made a big impression on me 40 years ago.

As much as I enjoyed that song, it was even better when Bart Simpson slipped it into the church as “In The Garden Of Eden” and had them sing and play it for an exhausting 17 minutes.

Would be more newsworthy if it were the drummer.

He may have been trying to get to a hospital.
My dad had one and drove there, before there were
cell phones.
What a great song.

That was the first album I ever bought. My mom was not impressed.

One of my first albums. I even saw them live at the old Philly Spectrum (one of the parents drove us). And who can not admit to working out that drum solo on a sofa arm or table?
I am thankful that his passing was peaceful.

Remember seeing them at Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY back in the early seventies. Awesome show. It was their Metamorphosis Tour. The album had just been released and they were touring to promote it. Great album and of course they did all the old tunes. Guess what the last number was?

As much as I enjoyed that song, it was even better when Bart Simpson slipped it into the church as “In The Garden Of Eden” and had them sing and play it for an exhausting 17 minutes. A couple of years ago I heard the lead singer being interviewed, and he mentioned that the actual original title of the song was "In the Garden of Eden", but that when his publisher called him to get the name of the song he was so stoned that slurred the title.
And the rest is history.
