The monster psychedelic hit of 1968 and possibly the entire 60's decade, the long version of this song became far more famous than the radio edit single version. Recorded in May 1968, both the album and the single were released in June. Although not recorded until that year, the band was already playing the song live in 1967. Despite the fact that the song's title is an obvious mistransliteration of "in the Garden of Eden," few have pursued a visual interpretation of the Adamic story, possibly because they may have thought it a bit sparse an account to spread over a period of over 17 minutes. But there is a lot there and it is all to be found in the music rather than the lyrics. From: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqIJfGQI5us
