Dave Mason & Joe Bonamassa - “Dear Mr. Fantasy” Official Music Video

[@michaelgrasso9049]

I have seen Dave Mason in concert 102 times. Dave Mason is one of the greatest musicians of all time, but sadly one of the most underappreciated musicians of all time. I would love to see Dave and Joe go on tour together.

[@stillastillsfan]

I thought I was up there w ~ 25 times

[@michaelgrasso9049]

@@stillastillsfan LOL. Well, I have a friend (John aka The Wizard) that lives in Northern Calif and he has seen Dave over 360 times. In fact Dave calls John his greatest fan and many years ago, he offfered John lifetime free tickets. But John declined and told Dave it was his honor to pay to see Dave. John and I were able to see Dave live together once (in Tampa) and it was great. But 25 times is still awesome. Dave has been my favorite musician since the mid 70's. Dave's wife Winifield is a great person. It is sad that Dave does not get his due. Even though he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a founding member of Traffic, Dave should be inducted for his solo work. Rolling Stone recently came out with their 250 Greatest Guitarist and Dave did not make the list. Come on!!! LOL.

[@39PhinsFan]

It took me 50 years to see him. He just never came around my neck of the woods. I've seen him twice now. He's the best.

[@kerryguzman8263]

I must have seen him at least 25 times,first time in 1982 he opened up for Fleetwood Mac and I saw him open up for Leon Russell got his autograph 3 times on t-shirts and a picture just saw his last show of the year at San Juan Capistrano coach house talked to his wife who sells his stuff out front I talked about a traffic tour she said they have reached to winwood but he said no,too bad😢

[@bobperry2578]

Wow !!! That's a commitment

[@realkarfixer8208]

Best wishes to Dave Mason, I just got notified that he's having health issues and is cancelling some of his shows. Take care and come back strong, I'm looking forward to seeing you in '25.

[@ronchasr6656]

i was lucky enuff to have seen dave mason in the mid 70's (cant exactly remember the date) great guitarist.

[@robrobuck932]

What a great song and collaboration.

[@SuperBroncosguy]

Thanks to my older brother Daniel for turning a me onto Dave Mason in 1974. Underappreciated.

[@robrobuck932]

Two legendary artists

[@karenb1749]

I have been a fan of the original Traffic version since it came out; I am 75 years young now, & a big fan of Joe. While skeptical at first, I like this new version too ! It makes me feel HAPPY ! 🎉

[@MrSupersleeperdude]

Joe can make any song magical. He's got a voice that's second to none.

[@martyleclerc2690]

and i'm 68 ...and this also made me really really happy .... may the happiness continue ... ;-)

[@ddg7889]

i too am 75!!! years young my ass

[@DougFricke]

I’ll stick with the oldie!

[@51skibum2]

Ya got me by 2+ yrs. Felt the same way.

[@renoreddington8060]

One day I was riding around in the Chicago area and on the radio they said "Today Dave Mason will be playing for FREE- AT THE NAPERVILLE IL BEST BUY! Yep, you heard that right- at a Best Buy! He was helping them promote their short lived attempt to sell musical instruments. Only 7 people showed up. I watched from 10 feet away from Dave! He had just released his CD 26 Letters 12 NOTES, which by the way, is awesome. I bought a guitar and Dave signed it. What a day!

[@pamelacairns289]

Omgoodness! What an amazing yet sad story. Happy for you. Sad he was so brilliant and unappreciated.

[@pamelacairns289]

I have to say though Bonamassa is so amazing and only plays with the best. So to have brilliance clearly recognize brilliance just shows how brilliant they both are.

[@vikiryan822]

OMG Joe and Dave Mason!! What a collaboration. This song is a classic 💙🎸🎸🎤🎶❤️

[@desertduck10]

I was fortunate enough to have seen Dave Nason along with Delaney and Bonnie and Friends many years ago. Wonderful Wonderful music. The mid 60's and mid 70's the THE BEST music and musicians. The rest ( 80's especially) just doesn't hold up.

[@robinknudson3663]

Dave's Alone Together is one of a handful of truly classic albums from a magical time. I can't tell you how many of those multicolored albums I wore out.

[@desertduck10]

Totally AGREE!

[@madeleinevandevelde5011]

Fortunetly very different from the original, that wasnt easy. And I like the video. Dear Mr Fantasy is a part of my life. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheSirMarlowe]

Eine Wohltat für meine Ohren.

[@armandoladegas3964]

It made us all happy 😊. Thank you!

[@kenhall5551]

What a collaberation!

[@tmo7734]

Dave Mason is relentless. Nice. And Joe??? Fantastic.

[@MikeMadeleine]

I was fortunate enough to see Crossroads 2023 in LA. Great players including Joe Bonamassa, Carlos Santana. Gary Clark and that Clapton guy. The only missing piece was Dave Mason who ranks and exceeds many of the greats on stage. Agree with others that Dave is one of the greatest guitarists. Luckily we live in Northern California and get to see Dave often, but never enough.

[@PraiseGodall]

Everyone listening to this worship song will make it in life in Jesus Might Name. God bless you all the days of your life. 🎉

[@Ohioblues]

This was a surprise! Bonamassa can bring anything he plays and sings alive!! ✌️😎

[@Wildlonesome77]

These 2 masters working together is both men at the very top of their game. Sounds terrific!!

[@laniputt7714]

Great pairing of Dave and Joe. Not disappointing at all

[@jeffberglund8773]

I've loved Dave Mason music since His days with Traffic, a great musician, 👍

[@keddy5627]

I love Joe and Traffic!!! Wow! Dave still sounds so good 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@scottshand8559]

An excellent version! I like changing up the tempo and the holds, sounded great! Especially like the ending runs, thanks Mr. M!

[@vikiryan822]

Then it's not hard to tell at all. Joe's voice is strong as ever. 💙🎸🎸🎤🎶❤️💙🎸🎸🎤🎶❤️

[@midi1529]

[@DavidBouza-e8q]

Awesome and then some!!!!

[@stevemurray2737]

Much Respect to Dave letting these youngsters have an at bat to play with the Legends. Dave still killing it and Joe is one of the best Bluesers out there. Dave is no slouch on the Guitar either. Too bad Winwood won’t tour with Dave.

[@crgrbrts]

Gotcha beat, fellas. I’m 77 and just bought tickets for Joe’s concert here in DC next February. Can’t wait!

[@mrshifter8220]

Saw Dave Mason at ODU gym Norfolk Va, way back....good old days when Kingshead Inn was the place and the Peppermint Beach Club.....anybody?

[@DeeDee-kq9hl]

[@MBone617]

Where has this cover been hiding? Fire!

[@kirkbaldwin]

I loved this song from the first time I heard Traffic's version in the 60's, and even played it in my band. This new version is great! I love the modulation for the solo Great guitar work! Thanks for re-releasing it. It's good to hear real music!

[@garylester8621]

Early 70’s.

[@brittanyeichholz8427]

Awesome collaboration of some talented musicians. Shout out to Ray Cardwell for some amazing bass playing. Making me miss band class all over again. Always a highlight of the day when you'd pull out the bass guitar on our way out of class. ♥️

[@harper7509]

FLUSH

[@garyzimmerman5481]

Please Mr Fantasy .

[@rosemarieneidlinger6847]

I have loved Traffic ever since I heard them Steve Winwood's voice in Traffic is great. Dave Mason knows his stuff. And for Joe Bonamassa's part, fabulous. He is the best guitar player I have ever heard.❤🎉

[@lunasea5178]

AMAZING 🤩

[@cliffdexter6822]

Joe influences mirror my own. Jethro Tull, Alvin Lee, Traffic. Always something surprising. I’m gonna guess and I’m hoping his next surprise will be Savoy Brown.

[@markkelly3859]

Dear Mr. Mason

[@clevelandeating4294]

Best cover I’ve ever heard ! Joes guitar is awesome

[@hemulik.8117]

Incredible song.. wow.. I try not to get teary while listening.. this is so dang good 😊
