Very beautiful song and I hear they are still performing.

(41,956 posts)They were staying in a house on Capitol Hill (corner of Prospect and something like 13th or 14th-I can point at it but always forget the cross street) that belonged to their really controlling manager. If you dont know the story here it is.

I had no idea they were holed up in Seattle then. Did not know about the terrible manager either. I sent this info to my brother as he still loves their music. Thanks again.

(8,759 posts)The show was billed and tickets printed Cream Traffic but bands were Cream IABD Collectors, my 4th rock concert, after Doors at Winterland and Byrds with Bloomfield and Friends and Everly Brothers and Pacific Gas And Electric at early Fillmore West (Carasol Ballroom).
Saw IABD several other times at Fillmore West as opening act and saw them twice in 73 / 74 when they made a comeback. They played a week of practice in what is now the Red Bud Theatre in Salyer, CA. Salyer is a very small town just in NE Humboldt county from Trinity county along the Trinity River. They posted flyers local for a free show in the small local villages where I was local and home for the Summer from Cal. Then several months later they were on the bill at Berkeleys Greek Theatre at Chet Helms Tribal Stomp. Country Joe and Fish also spent a practice week at Salyer and did a free show I attended. After the Tribal Stomp IABD and Fish toured Europe together.
Hal Wagenet, guitarist, was from Willits and his younger brother attended the same boarding HS I attended for several years in the East Bay. Hal latter had a serious hand injury working in a Willits sawmill during a down time for the band. I never met Hal but knew his brother.
