What voices! What harmonies! A band that should have had a lot more fame.

[@edwardescobar500]

Patti Santos RIP. Gone too soon, gone too young. Beautiful voice.

[@allenjones3130]

She was just forty years of age when she died in a car crash.

[@KittyCarlile-490]

​@@allenjones3130from what I read she was driving and ran into a tree

[@ergonzo6745]

July 7th 1970, my 20th birthday. Oh what a day to be young without a care in the world.

[@pcatful]

I remember this song. It was late summer. Hot dry days. Huge oak trees all around a big old house , hanging out with my girlfriend. I was 18, free, and in love.

[@catdaddy3302]

This was a beautiful time of my life. My gf and I loved this song. She’s my wife now. ❤️

[@kentduryea5072]

Was she your wife back then too?

Congrats on your diligence!

I went 2 high-school with Patricia Santos..we were in art class when she told me she was going 2 cut a record..sf in the day was amazing..hello 2 all the presentation high girls..

Love to you...

@@kentduryea5072no. Not on paper.

[@jjosport]

I saw them at least five or six times in Maryland in the early '70's. Great times for me, great band. Now that I'm pushing '70 I only know that this time and this music will never be duplicated.

[@G31mR]

Incredible harmony, even after fifty years.

[@fghelmke]

"Love, where did you go?" is the eternal cry of mankind.

[@Happy-Trails-To-You]

One of the best songs ever made. Great video showing Patty Santos. This band is so talented.

Saw them live in Sacramento around this time. I forgot how hot she was.

[@philmarasco7833]

Yes music was so real back then 1970.. yes peace out.

[@johnackerman438]

It was one of the best concerts that I went to at the University of Miami in the spring of 1970. The mikes were turned off because of curfew and the band continued to jam with us. Our spirit provided the electricity.

[@Cap683]

Great drummer. The band is really tight.

[@donreed]

WOW! Have loved them since the late 60's and am STILL horrified that 50-100 bands with less talent made it and IABD got the short end of the stick. GAH! David, and everyone else, thank you. You made an immense contribution to the good, throughout the world, including mine (Don Reed 10-21-22).

[@dawnkokal8392]

This song is just as beautiful as when l first heard it . I was in high school and so much wonderful, creative music at that time. Glad l was able to experience this.

[@jeffhammers8184]

It's a Beautiful Day at the Seattle Pop Festival, Aug. 1969. One of the bands that seeing live back then makes it worth being old.

[@scottrainey7121]

Was there for a few hours on Sunday. Had to go back to PDX to work the next day. Missed Zepp and The Doors and IBD.

[@katharineryan8820]

I have a poster and usher pin of that event. I was also there, I was 14 deanonkathsphone

[@philmann3476]

"Makes it worth being old." I like that and am stealing it! Many thanks.

[@jpx1508]

Beautiful Day always takes me to an epic time to have been in SF.... lucky to have been around The City in the Summer of Love era.

[@jeffhammers5677]

Saturday at the 69 Seattle Pop Festival featured The Doors,Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After and Chicago. With all that, the standouts were this lady and Tina Turner

[@altongrimes]

For me, this band captured the Spirit of that time. I had just been discharged from the Army and was selling The Quicksilver Times on the street corner of Wisconsin & M in Washington D.C.. Then on to Woodstock with my friends in my Volkswagen Bus. Eight track stereo playing Eric Clapton all the way up to White Lake ....

[@karhymanis9789]

the love then i cannot describe to my grandchildren. hoping to continue the feeling in the next life.

[@kierstenleighjohnson7348]

keep going! I want to hear the rest of the story!

[@bradthompsonuk2011]

2019... Woodstock plus 50.

[@petersonlafollette3521]

YES, a snapshot from the heart,mystique happening then-very soulful band.

Alton Grimes I was a junior in high school 1968 every beautiful day that came along I would skip school, it would seem like such a waste of precious life, head to the country with Its a beautiful day playing sometimes trip on mescaline, mostly just appreciate the beautiful life I found myself in

[@davidoran123]

I was 16 when this wonderful music entered my mind. Never been the same since.

[@edwinstults9987]

On Nov. 10, 1972 It's a Beautiful Day opened for Poco at Kiel Auditorium . I remember it well, they had a giant white white costume bird, and I remember just mesmerized by the White Bird song being played live E exactly like the 8 track tape I had. Memorable. Does anyone remember that . the violin so pronounced throughout Kiel.Yes.

[@dr.jamesolack8504]

.....was there, Edwin. Blitzed to the max.

[@marsharevis2937]

Kiel auditorium. What a trip! Seems like yesterday. Some things do stay the same.❤

[@edstyer2566]

I wish I could go back.....😢Thanks for the memories.....still it makes me sad.....but I still love them

[@gregvanderlaan]

Hot Summer Day Has Some EPIC Lyrics - "They Told Me That The Sun Turned Green, I Said I Didn't Know... They Told Me That The Moon Turned Blue, I Said It Didn't Show... and When they Told Me I looked Like a Fool, I Even Said I'd Let That Go... But When They Told Me That Our Love Was Dead... I Had To Turn and GO! Oh Love, Love, Love --- Where did you go?"

[@dmk7700]

Saw them at the Kinetic Playground in Chicago circa '72. Their performance was as tight as their recorded works - the true test of a band.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

That fiddle right off the bat is a beauty.

[@Ethericrose]

Holy, thats what this song is. HOLY!

[@mark4671]

These songs and this Beautiful woman's voice brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear that Angels voice. Wish I never moved from San Mateo in 1974 after 2 years of college. I was a jock then, I had never heard them sing. It's even harder for me to believe I didn't.. To many hours in the Pool. She is right at the top and will remain there, as will the Group

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Used to live in san mateo. Nice location just south of the city

[@debras.6899]

They made great timeless music

[@Seminolerick]

Patti so equalled the power & emotion of David… and the mellow moments…. Ohhh so sweet !

[@urgdaddy]

These are some of the best liks and fiddle from the very early 70's. A musical revolution.

[@marsharevis2937]

Doesn't get any better than this!❤⚘

[@ianwood960]

Love this music so much, saw them in Birmingham UK 69/70 ish, absolutely blown away, happy to report still am

pattie has voice of an angel.gorgeous to boot,not a bad thing.shes 20yrs old here. Her voice is so underrated when compared to the other female singers of the period... luv them and all 60s Bay area groups.....

Ok I found out patty santos is vocalist. Love to learn something new every BEAUTIFUL DAY. HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY. AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY

[@bentzkirby5016]

Amen, she was an angel. Got to see them twice in 1970 and one time was at Byron either 2 or 3 days before this. Was right up at the stage. Etched in my brain for sure.

[@kentduryea5072]

Pattie Santos died in 1989 of an auto accident. Only 40 years old and was still a stunning beauty.

Such heartbreaking lyrics! The cry of a generation: "Love, love, where did you go?" Still longing for love knowing that one day this broken world will be repaired.

An Australian, I bought tgat album with the woman on the cover after hearing "White Bird." Failed to follow up on the band, but 50 years on, glad to find this here. Thanks for the music.

[@ssake1_IAL_Research]

One of the most powerful songs of the era.

[@jpx1508]

Loved this band and still love this band. In '76 promoted IABD for a concert at Reed College. Summer's Day never fails to take me away. Wished for more output; part of the mystic may have been they were in their own zone and we have what LaFlamme gave us.

[@waynelynch3862]

❤Will always be my favorite beach song (Album version) and the one true love that I lost.....''Leaving the other half, To tumble all alone Love, love, where did you go''? Missed them at Atlanta Pop Festival, but I did get to see my idol, Hendrix. 3 months later he was gone. God I miss the 70's & sweet youth.

Amazing live performance!

[@MrGuitar1458]

Very faithful version, the studio version was pretty unbeatable, but this one has some toughness and grit the studio one does not have. Sounded like David's voice was giving out on him at the end there...Linda's organ playing much more dynamic live too. Great stuff! ❤️
