Ace ! it starts slow tempo. It builds up and up tempo . It ends with the mix of tempo in the melodic piece : White Bird ! thanks for uploading . Love this band and their recordings.
In the late 1960s, when "underground FM radio" first came to Philadelphia (WMMR), "White Bird" is the song I best remember. I was barely a teenager and my grandmother, who had an FM radio in her car, let me in charge of the music.
White Bird is definitely the best known track by It's A Beautiful Day. The studio version is better known than this live version. I've also uploaded the It's A Beautiful Day album which has the studio version of White Bird.
@@ricklochead1032 I have posted a playlist of all the It's A Beautiful Day albums I have uploaded to the channel. I encourage you to add any comments, recollections you want to those videos. I'm sure readers would be interested.
I lived in St Louis and everytime Its a Beautiful Day came to town I'd see the concert and get together with Fred and party. I got to know Patty and Billy Guitar. real well and even Bud in the end. Those times I shall never forget! RIP Fred Webb and Patty Santos.
@@ricklochead1032 I was lucky to see David Laflamme and Band in the mid 1980's, before Patty Santos died, at the University of Utah and of many, many concerts I've seen, this was the concert I've seen! David had a blue plexiglass violin and the band was top notch. To top everything off, the concert was held indoors at the Union ballroom!
He's in Arkansas and he is still alive I met him before he left New Orleans when I was 16 and then I met him again in the mid 90's he was back on Bourbon Street!!!! I did some duo gig's with him after Katrina what a great man I love him he gave me some unreal compliments over the years. I was a senior in high school when this came out
Thanks for posting this. I bought their first album in 1969 and had all the others on vinyl. I saw them Live 3 times - the last time after LaFlamme had left and the violin parts were played by Jasche Heifetz's grandson Greg Bloch. Some of my best memories. Pretty good quality for TH-cam.
Mark: David's Obit appeared today and I was sending it to some old timers like me, for the memories. Saw them down in ATL for a show in '71 and the year before at the ATL Pop Festival in Byron, GA. Absolutely LOVED this album and went looking for "Going to Another Party" here on You Tube - as David Gregory their guitarist at the time was totally ass shredding on this song, as well as Good Lovin. Adored the modality changes of The Grand Camel Suite. So THANK YOU SIR! for posting it up here. I have the album but have not converted it to digital. Patti Santos was a TORCH singer, with a husky soul/blues voice that could also reach the higher registers. So lucky to have been ALIVE during the 1964 - 1976 ascension of rock music, and to have seen soooo many groups.
Thanks for putting this on here! I LOVE the eclectic, totally GROOVY, dreamin' 'n' rockin' sound of IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY"!!! After falling in love with their mellow sound it's a nice jump to their rockin' groove too! I had the experience of discovering that they were on various sites on line a few years ago and was in a time when I needed cash so I figured ..."Hey I've got them available on line...I'll sell my cd's" ! So I did. Three weeks later ZAP! They disappeared from my Spotify lists (except for some bad quality live tunes) and were gone from most other sites too. I learned the hard lesson that music sites are fickle . they can change at any time, KEEP YOUR FAVORITE CD'S JUST IN CASE! I have not heard this album at all before,so I'm diggin' just trippin' 'round my abode in a rockin', Hippie swirl dream state of mind! Maybe , at 73, I'll get that first Acid Flashback that I've never had! lol Either way I'm Groovin' on a fine contact high with the music that you've provided here. The Hippies were right! Organic food, Windmills & Solar, Groovy vibes, Peace Love & Rockin' ,Trippin' Tunes!!! It's a KOKO Life.....What's "KOKO"? KOKO="Keep On Keepin' On" Outasight,Man (and Womb-man)! Peace ....
Glad to contribute to your acid flashbacks and fine contact highs. LOL! Your experience of selling your CDs and them seeing the music disappear from the streaming channels should be a lesson to all of us. Keep your hard copies and don't rely on streaming.
There best album was It's a Beautiful Day "Today" I wrote the song "time" with Fred in a hotel room in about an hour. Man' could he ever play the piano!!
@@ricklochead1032 I have that album on the channel. There are currently no public comments on that particular video. I encourage you to add any comments, reminiscences etc to that page that you feel like posting. I'm sure viewers/listeners would be interested.
@@marksmusiccollection8373 Hey Mark's Music I have many stories to talk about the relationship I shared with Fred and the crew. I really loved their music. How many people do you know that have the album "A Thousand and One Nights"?
The live album should have been the 1969-1970 band. By the time this recording was done, the band wasn't the same. It was too late by 1972. They speed freaked all of their songs. Better to seek the live recordings of 1968 to 1971.
Such a great album. I used to have this. Stanndout for me are the organ in Bombay Calling, and White Bird is the best version ever. Everything about that it great. Fantastic guitar solo. Vals drumming is so spot on. Subtle yet powerful and sensitive. And Pattti's final note. Oh yes. Thanks for posting this :)
The band broke up after this album but got back together for one more album--Today only original players were patti santos fred webb bill gregory val fuentes.
@@ricklochead1032 I loved IABD and if you wrote Time with Fred Webb that's a great song. I have the albums on vinyl but I also have them all on CD. The only one I don't have on vinyl is Today which I only learned about after the fact and finally tracked down a CD rendition out of Germany. I was so glad I got to see them live and I have to say I thought Fred Webb was an excellent player.
great stuff - Pattie Santos's vocals rule! When compared to other female vocalists of that era she put's Grace Slick's vocals to shame- better range, better pitch!
I have this album on cd, though I don't remember when I got it - 10 years ago or more? It's on a Columbia Records imprint, Rewind. Not a name I know - a European arm of the Columbia empire.
th-cam.com/video/OjTyxoyZ53o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Tt6B9-ICWJDIoHIV here's a killer rendition of White Bird - sadly the young guitarist died very recently (2023)
Im not dead i moved to Shirley AR. 7 years ago im 74 years old Bill Gregory i was 21 when i played this Alburn Dec1971 mixed it in 1972 Val Tom and I are living. Billy Gregory
@@BillyGregory2651so great to hear from you Billy! I was referring to the deceased guitarist from The Scones who did an xlnt cover of White Bird. But your work with IABD was genius stuff, esp Choice/Anytime - an all time fave. Cheers from the Delta
@@BillyGregory2651 Wow, great to see original member here! I have loved the four first albums about 45 years now. Any chance that there are unreleased material featuring Pattie someday available? Her story is so sad, they way she died. She should have been more upfront in the line up due to her skills. Cheers from Helsinki, Finland.

Brilliant musicians, great harmonies. They deserve to be known for more than their one glorious hit.
Definitely a band that should be better known than it is.
Oh yeah, right on and no doubt !!

Playing the original vinyl right now!
Thanks!
You're very welcome.
Saw them three times in the early 70's. This was my favorite band until they disappeared from the radar right after this live album.
The band broke up after this album but got back together for one more album--Today only original players were patti santos fred webb bill gregory val fuentes.
they did one more album after Carnegie called It's a Beautiful Day--Today

I just picked up the “Today” album yesterday in a record bin at a thrift store, sparking my interest in the band again.
Well, that was just brilliant!
Glad you liked it.
fantastic recording quality and amazing show
Glad you liked it.
Going to another party is such a smoker. Holy Shit!
INCREDIBLE GUITAR SOLO on White Bird. CLASSIC.
Bought this on vinyl when it first came out, bought it on many years ago 😊
Meant to say CD 😊lol
I have this on both.
Obrigado, por ter compartilhado esse álbum. Sensacional!
You're very welcome. Glad you liked it.
Released on CD in 2011
Didn't know that. I'll check it out.

I've seen it on CD on reissue labels but it is currently unavailable as far as I'm aware.
My Dad has it on cd as well but I think it's a Japanese import. Got it in some record store in Pittsburgh in the 90s.
@@etiennekosa there was a Japanese import CD but, as far as I am aware, it is long out of print and hard to find.
Personnel?
same question
Obrigado por postar este album. Voce tem a lista das musicas?
Vou adicionar a lista de faixas no futuro. Obrigado pela lembrança.
Billy Gregory on guitar.
If that's true, I salute him for sure.
