Our Final Week - The Closing of the Fillmore West, Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA, 7-1-1971, Part 4: It's a Beautiful Day

Here's the fourth (and last) set from the second day of five days of concerts that closed the Fillmore West venue in San Francisco in 1971. (See my write-up on the Boz Scaggs set for general information about the closing.) This set features the band It's a Beautiful Day. 

I'm guessing this was the last set on the night, mostly based on the fact that it was the longest set. But that's just a guess. If anyone knows these things, please let me know.

Here selections from the Wikipedia entry on the band:

"It's a Beautiful Day is an American band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1967, featuring violinist David LaFlamme and his wife, Linda LaFlamme, on keyboards, and vocalist Pattie Santos. ... Although they were one of the notable San Francisco bands to emerge from 1967's Summer of Love, the group never achieved the level of success that contemporaries such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Santana did, with whom they had connections. The band created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, country, classical, and world-beat styles."

I would add that if you're interested in classic rock, I suggest getting the band's debut album, the self-titled "It's a Beautiful Day," released in 1969. It's solid all the way through, and contains their hit "White Bird." Their follow up album, "Marrying Maiden," from 1970, is very good as well. Note also that Linda LaFlamme had left the band by this time.

Everything here is unreleased except for "White Bird." That came out on the "Fillmore - The Last Days" album.

So far, I didn't have to make many edits to the albums I've posted in this series. But this album had some issues. A few of the songs were cut off, either at the beginnings or the ends. For those songs, I found other live versions from the time period with similar sound quality and patched in the missing parts. That's why three songs have "[Edit]" in their titles. And if I recall, the vocals were low across the board, so I had to boost them in the mix using the MVSEP audio editing program. Actually, now that I think about it, I did that for some of the sets I've posted already, but I forget which ones. 

This album is an hour and 50 minutes long.
