If I had a time machine I think I'd like to visit San Francisco in the 60’s |

Better examples of this era, very generic copy-cat stuff. Terrible lyrics.

Still a great song! I am dating myself but I saw these guys play for free on Cambridge Commons many years ago. "Smokin" show!  |

I remember seeing them at Fillmore. I used to be friends with Patti Santos in high school (yes, in the '60s). Was sad to find out recenetly that she died in a car accident in Northern California several years ago. But I do like this song a lot - brings me back everytime....

Makes me really miss 68'. With the exception of Nam it was a wonderful time.

Its A Beautiful Day reminded me of the early Jefferson Airplane before they got zonked out.

This always takes me back to being 15 years old and so totally mesmerized by this beautiful song. I got the album from my worldly and wise college-student sister. What a great memory! Play it again soon, Bill! |

Given that it was the late 60's when this came out it was considered totally in the Haight-Ashbury vein. Woodstock hadn't happened yet and groups like IABD, the early Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service (to name only 3 out of many) were on the cutting edge of the time for "mellow head music". It's always easy to look back and hold our nose at something made before we were born and that we can't understand because we think that today we're more "sophisticated".
Whatever. I was there at the time and remember sitting in the audience after the vinyl of this came out and it was, and remains, a great experience.

Not like it represents the time, but as if it is actually calling out some of the strange and silly approaches being tried out in the new rock music of the time. It only has seconds left to play and yet I am STILL tempted to hit the PSD button. |
