Saw them at several rock festivals, ( Stevens Point, Goose Lake, Kickapoo Creek) back in 1970.FWIW they purchased a kilo of medium grade Mexican weed from me the following year, a girl I was dating knew them
I love these guys...I saw them live at Gartons Saloon in '74...I stumbled back stage afterward to pay homage...next thing I know I'm sitting down and they're quoting scripture to me....not that there's anything wrong with that...I felt like Gods own drunk for a second there but had to excuse myself out of respect...for them.
Shut his mouth???No greater wealth,then liberty.My brothers,sisters,Happy Hanuka,and a Merry Christmas.It still all comes down to what each one of us does.Be well...Im here James,I love you son
My dad and I used to sing this song to each other infront of the bon fire before he passed. Thank you for posting. It's amazing. It really took me back.
Man, I been lookin' for this song for a hundred years! Didn't get a lot of airplay where I grew up in Chitown but I would hear it on KSHE when visiting family in central IL. Haven't heard it in so long- thanks for posting it!
I live in Cali, heard this years ago, then drove through Missouri with my wife and heard it just outside St Louis. what a phuckin good tune I forgot all about.
totally diggin on the warbles and needle pops of this vinyl. im hardly old enough to remember records, but i do. even though digi gives a crisper sound, somethin about analog...you kinda hear things you miss out on with digi, b/c of the clean sharpness of it. sometimes, they should jus leave the mud in the water (if that anology makes sense)
This would NEVER get radio airplay today in today's sanitized plastic music industry. God, how I miss the late 60's and early 70's when the music mattered and you didn't have to have 20 costume changes, 10 back up dancers and all kinds of pyrotechnics to impress the crowd. What you played and what you sang was all that mattered.
I used to play this in a set that included Led Zepplin :Gallows pole,The Doobie Brothers I Cheat The Hangman and of couse Mason Profitt.Believe it or not I did this in Top 40 radio in what I called The Attitude Hour that I learned from working as a goffer for Murray The K
K-SHE 95, John Ulett & softball in Valley Park, SuperJAM. No better place to have been raised being also fortunate enough to have everyone at K-SHE in the process, plus all the great concerts and of course, SuperJam!! Grew up in the best era of life ever, Rock On.
dolo,old,whats old man?this is a time i feel my young brothers.my reason.old brothers really.you dont get no older.never forget my brothers.defend,against all enimies.wake up my countrymen,wake up
Last heard this one evening in St.Louis in 84 heading west on Big Bend with Tim & Jesse & a couple other folk. We were all singing it at the end befor the light at Laclede Station. Those times will never happen again. Man do I feel old.

Oh boy. I had given up on ever finding a Mason Profit album again. Have not heard this for years and years and years. Had given up hunting for him. My grandson got me going on YouTube and here he is. I am happy, I just lost 30 years in my mind. Takes you back to the good old days.
I had heard this song on the radio and needed to hear it again. I know it's about a man doing what he thinks is right and being put to death for it...but I just found it so humourus. oTL
I saw them at Western IL. U. what a great concert, but then the second band came on Maynard Freguson, what a super contrast. Maynard came out just blaring on his trumpet, needless to say that Western Hall was nearly empty by the time Maynard finished.
@jhiggins1971 What a Long Strange Trip it was making it thru the 60's, and early 70's. Western IL.U. was a cultural hub,back in the day.The Chicago influence incredible, that whole area of West Central IL. changed. Ironically West Central IL. was a respite for the young men and women of the Chicago area, it delivered them from the hectic pace of the large city.Some settled down, married, and became members of the West Central Il.establishment.May I ask what part of West.Central IL.R-U-from?
@jhiggins1971 Oh wow, I just talked to my sister about Pike,County IL. way back in the day,way back, when dad was @ SIU-E mom's parents lived in Williamsburg Iowa.We do the River Road up to the Quad cities.One little town I truly remember, Kinderhook, I just remember seeing a man with his name on his truck, Ladell Titsworth, I thought that name really strange.Griggsville Purple Martin capital of the world.I knew a woman @ WIU her name Reba, was getting her P.E. teaching degree from Griggsville.
Mason Profit was playing at Florissant Valley Community College the night the Vietnam war ended. I broadcast it live from KCFV....I think you could hear our station for about 5 miles, but WHAT AN END FOR THE CONCERT! They played this song for 25 minutes to mark the end of the dumb-ass war!
Wow! Talked to the group in the 70's when they were playing the midwest circuit. "Two Hangmen Hangin from a Tree" was banned on some radio stations in Iowa.
@thebrothersinstep YES! KSHE with Sam Kayser! I went to McCluer with him, and sat next to him in history class in'70! Good DJ--Don't know what became of him.
You who were lucky enough to see these guys in concert, I envy you! I had all their albums at one point in time in my life. I have my ex-husband to thank for introducing them to me. Hell, I even had their outlawed album, you know, the one with the two guys hanging in a tree on the back cover?!?! Could kick myself in the A.... for letting them go!
Another "St. Louis Classic", played there HEAVILY on rock station for YEARS like it was a Top 40 tune, and I mean well through the 1980s. What an incredible song!!
I can still remember several thousand people singing along to this outside in Linclon Park, Chicago. Unjust war then, unjust war now!! Only difference is no draft to protest. Awesome tune from an incredible era.
I will not let this happen.Wasn't tomorrow wonderful?So to close our mouths and kill our minds,...Get it!Embrace the oppertunity our foudners affored us.Always a work in progress.The art of man.Pull your heads out.Our Republic.The United States of America.Under G-d.I love you Jimmy.I got the beers,Safe home son...
One of my best childhood memories is of my dad singing this song in my grandparents living room. My father passed away 8 years ago so when i hear this song its like hes here with me again.
Blast from the past..have this album...saw them for free in Ames, Iowa for street dances. When the opened for Sly and the Family Stone at the armory at ISU, Sly was booed off the stage and Mason Proffit finished out the night. It was '71 or '72.
I just wish that the modern country artists would give tribute to bands like these guys, the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, etc., who hepped a lot of people to what country themed music could be. They owe these guys an awful lot!!
I've loved this tune in particular for over 40 years!! Saw these guys live time and time again and they always did a great job. God, I feel 18 again!!!
Use to listen to this stoned out of my mind up in Mark's apt. veggin' out on the couch watching T.V. with the volume off......How's that for a flashback!
One of my favorite memories of my late teens in the mid-70s. My older brother played guitar and sang in local bars and this was always one of my favorites that he played. Thanks for posting.
This was one of my friend's favorite song. He would make everyone listen to it. Man, it sure takes me back! Unfortunately, my friend hung himself! Many years later, but still disturbing at the time.
I was just singing this Two Hangmen and Till The Sun's Gone all day at work today (really quiet though). Thanks for posting this. Glad people still remember this great tune.
i been dancing with the guys in colorado and iowa. both was them out of body experiences and what was nice; good loking women showed up both times. i think they r women magnets
Do you remember the group that played there called " The Fuse" ? The Fuse released one album..It's still won of the best Rock LP's ever. The band turned into a group called CHEAP TRICK.
Holy Crap, I do remember that now. Do you remember a guy named Woody Woodruff, he played with ..... damn the name of the band just left me. I'll remember later and get back to you... Cryin' Shames, crap not sure
This song was always one of my favorites from the 60's. Well along with For What It's Worth. I still remember the words and how I would sing this song with friends back then. Thanks to songs like this the 60's will always live on. Oh ,Heywally I was at the Mason Profit concert to in Chicago where Im from.
I saw Mason Profit many times in college at Southern Illinois....this video just does not do the song or the band justice. What a treat is was experiencing these guys...I still have my old vinyl.
The main players were John and Terry Talbot who became born again artists in the mid 70's. John became a Catholic monk and I think Terry is still performing as a Christian artist.
John Talbot is known as John Michael Talbot the top Christian recording artist of all time. He has sold millions of records. Much of Mason Profits music had a lot of spirituality in it. Also often times over the years John's music has sounded a lot like the old Mason Profit music. He is still recording, but I only see his CD's in Christian music & book stores.
Hardest time i ever had driving out of Cripple Creek; Colo. but I met these people at a county fair in West Union, Ia. and after 40 plus dead shows they run a close 2nd
My Lord! I have not heard this in 20 years. I had all their albums at one time, then gave my vinyl collection away when I moved (which was huge... argh).
I originally saw them at the Hollywood Paladium Playing with the Beach Boys which must have been circa 1971 or so.
Some of their music is just phenominal. Some on Bareback Rider is just incredible, imho.
Thanks so VERY much for posting this tune... hope you do all of them!
I was fortunate to meet both of the Talbots. It was a blessing that I was unaware what would come. Sounds just like Big Brother is today keeping an eye on us all. Be careful..
I have all Mason Proffit on vinyl and now CD. Saw MP a bunch in the 70s and also in 2007 in Chicago during a short revival tour. An amazing band sorry it didn't last (either time). Where are all the MP videos on youtube? Wanted and Moving Toward Happiness are relased as a double CD. All the rest are released as single CDs
Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on.
Don't tell anybody, but I'll bet a lot of people would be delighted to know that the original version of "Two Hangmen" appears to be a totally free download on the home page of Mason Proffit's website. Cool, eh? Find the website on your own. Just Google it.
Saw the band in Wahpeton and Fargo ND in early 70's. Music first heard on KAAY 1090 AM Beeker Street with Clyde Clifford. Best radio show in the Midwest--EVER.
Local radio stopped playing it and I had to then hunt it down. I'll call them tonight and request MP yet again!! Can you try and get "Buffalo" online? I failed in my attempt due to spelling "Proffit" correctly
These days, it's the mainstream media, the neo-politically correct, and the 'obamanation,' who are the hangmen.

I saw Mason Profit many times in college at Southern Illinois....this video just does not do the song or the band justice. What a treat is was experiencing these guys...I still have my old vinyl.

The main players were John and Terry Talbot who became born again artists in the mid 70's. John became a Catholic monk and I think Terry is still performing as a Christian artist.
cyberties 2 years ago
John Talbot is known as John Michael Talbot the top Christian recording artist of all time. He has sold millions of records. Much of Mason Profits music had a lot of spirituality in it. Also often times over the years John's music has sounded a lot like the old Mason Profit music. He is still recording, but I only see his CD's in Christian music & book stores.

I saw them in Lincoln Park in Chicago in 1969/70 at the free concerts they used to have on Sundays. Nice band; used to like this song quite a bit. :)

My Lord! I have not heard this in 20 years. I had all their albums at one time, then gave my vinyl collection away when I moved (which was huge... argh).
I originally saw them at the Hollywood Paladium Playing with the Beach Boys which must have been circa 1971 or so.
Some of their music is just phenominal. Some on Bareback Rider is just incredible, imho.
Thanks so VERY much for posting this tune... hope you do all of them!

Hey another Beeker Street fan COOL!
I have all Mason Proffit on vinyl and now CD. Saw MP a bunch in the 70s and also in 2007 in Chicago during a short revival tour. An amazing band sorry it didn't last (either time). Where are all the MP videos on youtube? Wanted and Moving Toward Happiness are relased as a double CD. All the rest are released as single CDs

Nice Nice Video. I really loved your video. Youtube can be a great asset for you. If you need any help getting your video exposed, check out this site called tubeviews [dot net] It has really done wonders for me, I have built 3 Channels up with videos at top in position and this is my forth channel i'm going to working on.

Don't tell anybody, but I'll bet a lot of people would be delighted to know that the original version of "Two Hangmen" appears to be a totally free download on the home page of Mason Proffit's website. Cool, eh? Find the website on your own. Just Google it.

Local radio stopped playing it and I had to then hunt it down. I'll call them tonight and request MP yet again!! Can you try and get "Buffalo" online? I failed in my attempt due to spelling "Proffit" correctly

Thank you so much! Used to see this band in Kentucky-back in the 70's. Lead in for George Carlin and the James Gang. Please post more Mason Profit!
