Dave Mason - Baby...please

[PlymouthVT]

First time I saw Dave was at Performing Arts Center in NYC 1971. Stoned out of my mind on mushmakon pot and great tickets. Man they fucking rocked all night. Really good band. Still memorable after all these years.He warmed up Santana. Sanantana was very good endless durms but Dave was better. Just a tight groovin' British band. The brits owned it back in the early 70's.

良いね、このスピード感。ソロギターの甘い泣きが言わせない。

After all is said and done I like more Dave's music then that of Winwood (personal opinion of course) I understand Dave didn't like that much the Jazz style Traffic was getting into and in the end he became a great guitarist (acoustic too big time) and vocalist playing as you might know with the likes of Hendrix, Harrison, McCartney, Crosby & Nash, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, even a small stint with the Mac, apart from a long list of his own albums then straight into rock's hall of fame

Thx

[MrsNatureLuver]

Love his music and voice...great guitar player too...THANKS!

[longlostgus]

Dave a H addict? not that I know, has never been published to my knowledge, besides hes a bit overweight but hes no Keith Richards (Wall due respect) so their just rumours or plain slander which is totally underrated, yucks

thanks

So I went over to my BFF'S the other night.. We both grew up in LA.. She put this on~ Lord!! MEMORIES!!

[cheezer57]

He also plays Acoustic with Hendrix' on All along the watchtower, but i guess most people knew that.

[rollieskreetie]

Thanks for posting this song. All of Dave Masons withstand the test of time. I love this and all of dave Mason's music. Brings back some great memories and sound great still. I'd trade all the new "music" of today, all the Justin Beibers, Lady Gaga's, all that pass for music for one Dave Mason anyday. Sorry Dave for saying your name in the same sentance as those new so-called "musicians". Hendrix is still great too!

[longlostgus]

one of the best leaf and acoustic guitar players ever (in my personal opinion ) very elegant style )

thank you

[11thPassenger]

Mason fan note: He's the second guitarist on Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" and a founding member of Traffic.

graham nash is on back vox

[longlostgus]

to ricadrew:

Sorry to rain on your parade here but is GRAHAM NASH doing the harmonies here, not David Crosby.

Crosby and Nash do harmonies on other Dave Mason songs like, "You can loose it", "She's a friend" from Split coconut album and on another song called "Give me a reason" from "Dave Mason" Album, but here as I mentioned is Graham Nash doing the high key harmonies not David Crosby if I recall well, hey is just info ok?

Thanks

Nice upload love Dave Mason

[radioactive144]

@radioactive144

thanks!

[indifferentdrummer2]

One of the best..

WAY underappreciated

Phenominal guitarist and song writer plus he rarely gets credit for a great voice.

Thank you , Dave.

Thanks for posting.

Thank goodness for youtube.

[ricadrew]

And oh yea, how many people know that David Crosby is a background vocal?

[bovjer]

for real? big fan of david crosby !

[ricadrew]

Yea, just on this song. And another song on this album Stevie Wonder plays harmonica, pretty cool stuff!

[nalniuqs]

@ricadrew Actually, it is Graham Nash

[420GuitarShredder]

@ricadrew mason has played with hendrix aswell

[ricadrew]

Wow, memories, thanks for posting this!

[davidsailz]

[bovjer]

[tkrantz55]

Thanks for posting!

[jazzyg2007]

Nice vocals and lead guitar ....great song back in the day!

[smartypantz56]

Yes he was a heroin addict at one time just like everyone else from that era. They all may not have been adicts but they were users. Clapton (addict) J.Lennon (user) G. Harrison (user) The Stones, Hendrix you name 'em "H" was just the in thing at the time. Many got carried away and couldn't handle it. Mason is a great artist. I thought he should have stayed with Traffic but he felt he was being overshadowed, (which he was) He had a great solo career.

[bovjer]

Is it a fact that Dave Mason was an heroin addict? Thats what i figure, reading the lyric.

On my part, that line is the best part of the song "in a big rubber room with a silver spoon still on my mind"

[erelprivat]

Thanks so much for posting this.. I THINK they actually banned the lyrics (silver spoon stil on my mind) later..My favorite dave mason song..
