So great. How many current performers could stand there with simply a guitar and sound like that. Even though he is in his 60's now, his voice remains great and so rich. Wonderful.
This is not 'his song' as is says in the description. I can't think of the guy that wrote it, but it wasn't Dave. I still love Dave though, he does it justice absolutely
This guy nails the song we just disagree every time he sings it and his partner's talents compliments dave mason, and let me say: I must take my hat off to you. This song tells a story that is timeless. The sound is Haunting, and always in style.Thanks for the memories.
Wow. What memories that song brings back. Dave Mason is in top form even later in life. Rarely a musician retains their voice in the quality of the great Dave Mason. This was an incredible performance by an incredible musician. Yes Dave....YOU STILL HAVE IT! Thanks for the music over the years.
@reddyeddy. First, Dave is playing a 12 string which is going to ring out and give a big fat sound as you are hearing. Next, He's playing this song in either a "G", "A" or "E" tuning not the standard "EADGBE" tuning. There is no bass player there. That's Dave doing all that which sounds like a bass underpinning the song.
Really like dave Mason and as usual he id a great job on what I think is his finest tune. I heard a bass guitar playing but didn't see a baasist. I wonder if that was dubbed in. Just an observation.
@readyeddy101 The "bass" you hear is actually the low E string on Dave's guitar- I thought the same thing on first listen. That's just great, consistent technique at work, and a good job by the sound guy letting it be heard. Watch the bass notes follow his finger on the E string, it's not easy to get that out that clear every time.
Wow, Dave does a fine job on this cover. Nice to see he is still kicking. As for Elton, He writes the majority of his music. Bernie writes the lyrics.
No one sang this song as good as Kruegs...I knew him when he wrote it, and while people want to add a lot of drama to it...he got over 'her' and loved again. Sadly, he died in 1993 and never became the blues player I so thought he had in him...he loved playing bb king stuff in high school..had a great band 'Grease' at the time. good memories.
yeah i kew dave also and i think it's ashame that dave masn get so much credit for this song dave and ritchie are great singers. my ex husband who is now deceased curt erickson new both and they were aweson
I grew up in Manitowoc and knew Curt and some of his sibs; sorry, I didn't know he'd passed away. I grad HS in '70. There was a 'coffee house' in Manty where Jim and his band practiced; I used to hang out there. I lived in CA many years - would see Jim when he and Dave would play in the area. agree with you about Dave getting more credit though he's an awesome musician. Jim was a great blues guitar player- wish he'd pursued that. Take care,Jayne Mullins Madison
No ones' voice could've been more perfect for this song than Dave Masons. No matter where Dave sings it, or what era he sang it, he always sounds awesome. This song will be loved a thousand years from now. TY Jim Kreuger for expresing your hurt so amazingly with this song. I only wish you were still around to perform it with Dave.
That's my bud Johnne Sambataro in the orange shirt, who sings and plays his ass off and who has a list of recording credits from here to the moon. Was lead singer for Firefall for 7 years, then Dion DiMucci's bandleader and musical director for years before hooking up with Mason.
