I actually play drums for Hal Wagenet and Mitchel Holfman, the guitar and bass players from it’s a beautiful day and I love this version, I love the flute and the arrangements ! Well done guys!

[@stevenhanson6057]

You’re right on the flute part is classic

[@williamstevens1001]

Song is a real mood uplifter, awesome. I had the original album.

[@edwardlyons9872]

This is the most awesome version of the song that I ever heard. I want to save this on my playlist. You express the true feeling of the song, thank you.❤

[@kvakma]

Wow, just Wow! Such magnificent sounds accompanied by the most glorious landscapes/ scenes. One-of my go-to sounds since first being mesmerized by it in that ‘Summer of Luv’ season……this rendition is also quite moving. Just returning from visiting The Badlands & National Parks in SD……I am so enjoying these unique authentic views and amazing scenery……. simply gorgeous~ So glad I came upon this incredible version of ‘White Bird’.

[@barrysmith8193]

Home from 3 brutal back to back tours in combat in Vietnam this song took me away. I still love the lyrics, the melody, and the haunting sound that I needed so much after I returned. I’m 76 now and can’t listen to this song without tears in my eyes and my heart.

71 here I was living in N.lake Tahoe at the time and Saw "Beautiful Day" with David Le'flame at the Christmas Tree Lodge Mt. Rose Highway. Most excellent show it was a small venue. but worth it.. Also heard John Mayall at a club highway 80 don't remember the place but could hear it w/special guests Eric Clapton. Oh well to late now..

[@davidotness6199]

Sorry you got sucked into the Maw, bro. Sorry for all concerned. Dammit! Peace be yours.

[@johnguild8850]

Yes, I am 73 yo, I remember, I was there. But, I really love this version of the song. Nice work, now try me away :)

[@hardtosay4321]

Looks like a beautiful day.. Excellent work!

[@Odo55]

It's a Beautiful Day original, above and beyond

[@noelsalisbury7448]

It's the very first time I've heard any other group apart from I.A.B.D. do this classic song. And it's really very good.

[@thomaskotch4770]

Absolutely brilliant

[@TheStrollingscones]

Thank you!

[@jackierainey4538]

An exquisitely performed cover and a captivating video. Rarely leave comments, but truly love this video and have viewed it several times. Play on Scones.

Beautiful sounding and looking! I hope everyone was accounted for after the video shoot, and no one fell off a rock!!

[@sisterdoublehappiness9714]

Lovely version of this song.

[@DuxburyDan]

I have to share this cover of a great song that I remember hearing in 1969. I was going to link it to the post I made for the original so my Facebook friends could hear a modern day cover. But no, I am gong to give your version its own post. You have given ‘White Bird’ some real depth of feeling. Thank you, The Scones.

[@MrSA1829]

Excellent job guys! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@criskatan]

Bravo! You guys really did this song justice!!

[@garyh497]

Soothing, melodic turn in musical genre from 60-70s.

[@Chaomhainn]

Impressive . I have listen to various versions of this classic iconic song. This group here hits it off of the plateau . David LaFlamme and company , I hope would be proud of where this song have soared to different heights . White Bird has had a nice long lived assurgence in our listening pleasure . As others have written, The Scones harmony and adapted alto flute brought a great tune to wing a newer audience to bring on going interest . Right now anything to divert our culture from ravages of Covid and the current Russian war crisis is meaningful . Nice job to The Scones . Cheers 02/25/2022

Why do not so many Americans know this beautiful song? It's too much a regret for me.

Thank you!

[@judypfaus5576]

I live very close to the Monument. Very nice video... but they won't let you climb around like that anymore. It was nice to see ....

[@LauraAlexander-mb4lt]

Excellent

[@StormEKnight4]

Subscribed! Love the vibes I am getting from your sound! I found your channel through Beth Williams and so happy I did. Peace!

[@BuddyLerch]

I echo Alex's comments, really the new harmony emphasis is very welcome. So is new flautist's playing and singing. This studio recording is expanded nicely with the reverb treatment, a brand new sound for you Scones folks! I love the mount concept for the video...I wonder how this can be reproduced in a live performance (kind of like the Beatles trying to recreate their complicated studio stuff onstage). This is a great video and I'm glad I know this band from years past. The evolution is outstanding!

[@TheStrollingscones]

Thanks for your astute comments Buddy! Next time we come to Texas we'll play it live for you!

[@allenjones3130]

On a future Scones video, I'd like to see Helen and Melanie perform in their bare or stockinged feet!

Quite a nice job! The live versions by IABD on YT are in a rushed tempo which loses the effect of the original. You guys capture it right.

That is one fearless flautist, standing up on that rock like that...how’d she get up there??? Lmao

[@sonjavass8014]

and her tone is incredible, that depth and smoothness comes with hours and hours of practice. She's jammin' and that is not easy to do on a flute!

[@nobodyhomehere1502]

I like the fresh take on an iconic song. Well done! I was really skeptical at first. I imagined Nirvana's (un)original cover of Man Who Sold The World.
