I attended the 2003 west coast 100 year Harley-Davidson Anniversary party and concert at the Frank Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas, CA. The main event performer was Dave Mason with surprise guest Kenny Wayne Shepard (also appearing were Eric Burdon and the Animals, Mountain, Vanilla Fudge and Brian Auger's Oblivion Express). I, a nobody, was lucky enough to obtain a coveted backstage pass provided by one of the H-D executives out of Milwaukee. Halfway through the lineup, there was a half hour break. I was in the outdoor backstage area where Harley-Davidson was providing the musicians and guests free food, drinks and deserts. I was eating my food seated in between Dave Mason and other aforementioned musicians listening in awe to them reminiscing about their times during the the 60's and 70's. I'm sure i looked gobsmacked when all of a sudden Dave turns to me and asked me how I liked the show. We had a conversation as if we were old friends, He was the nicest, down to earth rock and roll God you can imagine. It was, and still is one of the highlights of my life. I still have the H-D event t shirt hanging in my closet and have never worn it after all these years in order to preserve it. Thank you Dave for such a wonderful day! You are a true gentleman,

Of course he can - so can Rod - Don Henley on the other hand ....not so much - I can't believe people aren't making light of the fact he's using prerecorded backing tracts and Auto tune - He should be shamed over this - Dave Mason wouldn't go there - He's real
