It's actually not a bad song in it's Uriah Heepish way but yeah the long version seems only to be enjoyed by people feeling the 18 minutes was only 4.
Y'all know the story that the guy in the band who wrote was all alone in the "Iron Butterfly Pad" with a six pack and wrote the tune as "In The Garden of Eden" and when the bandmates returned they heard his drunken slurring of that as "The Gadda-da-vida."
