Its A Beautiful Day was the showcase for David and Linda Laflamme.They enjoyed a brief vogue in the early 70's ,their reputation built largely on the strengths of their 1969 LP entitled imaginatively- 'Its A Beautiful Day." 

   This featured some of the songs they played during their set at Bath, but by this date they had also released their second album, Marrying Maiden, and the bulk of the set features songs from this waxing , which I.M.H.O is less strong overall than their debut album .

  An exciting band live, I.A.B.D's performance stocks were boosted by the fact that the lead singer , Patti Santos,  was what could be described as 'winsome ' and David's violin playing was pretty fearsome too. The group got into some long instrumental numbers  such as "Bulgaria" and "Time Is " , which built into huge jams featuring  frenzied violin pyrotechnics from David.

Highlights of this set are Time Is -which develops into a lengthy jam -, as well as Soapstone Mountain , Hoedown and Bulgaria. This last number builds into a goodly jam which goes into some frantic spaces and is much longer than the album version.The sun actually shone during this set , which probably helped the band get the crowd going, its harder to boogie when you are wrapped up in a plastic sheet. 

   In general , the faster songs seem to be appreciated more by the audience, one goon in particular keeps on shouting RUBBISH during the quiet bits. However, the set ends to a healthy round of applause, so the band seem to have won most people over in the long run, and Patti can be heard to say, "Thanks people ,we love you " , so the band seemed happy about their reception as well.
