An essential song from the end of the hippie era. From It's A Beautiful Day, composed by Linda and David LaFlamme. David passed last year, while his ex-wife Linda just passed, which reminded me of the song. This is a live version from 1970. Vocals by the LaFlammes, electric violin by David. The guitar solo is definitely San Francisco style in its tone and attack, along with being overly long and self-indulgent. This is the studio version.
I saw them as the opening act for The Who at the Fillmore East in May 1969. Terrific set and still remember their performance of this song.
