World in Changes - Dave Mason | The Midnight Special

[@edsanders9605]

This song is from one of the greatest albums ever- "Alone Together"- every song fantastic!!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

I LOVE Dave Mason ~ he’s SO magical ,,,❤ Just returned from vacation and while there I bought about 5 of Dave’s albums @ a Thrift Store for $1 a piece. One was the 1st “Traffic” bands album. I was SO shocked when I opened it up & saw Dave Masons photos! I had NO idea he was with THEM in their beginnings? I hit the jackpot & ended up with about 45 new to me, albums to play at my “happy place” w/o Wi-Fi or internet, cell phone, etc…just that lovely stereo system sound that we grew up with,,,❤,,,glorious

Awesome. Have been waiting to see more clips from Dave Mason (formerly of Traffic). This night he hosted the Midnight Special in 1975. He played 8 songs that night (including Feelin' Alright), with 3 clips now shown on Midnight Special channel. Keep 'em coming, thanks.

[@gregoryduncan3067]

That's a lot of songs for one episode. There were only 3 other artists that played in that episode.

[@mondavou9408]

I didn't know he was in Traffic.

[@delmedeiros3570]

​@@mondavou9408He went back and forth, but I believe around 1973 he finally decided on his solo career. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

[@BigSky1]

@@delmedeiros3570He left Traffic after Mr Fantasy in ‘67 but returned in time for the Traffic album in ‘68. He then left again to Produce Family’s first album ‘Music In A Dolls House’. He had 2 left over songs on Traffic’s ‘Last Exit’ from ‘69 and appeared on the Live ‘Welcome To The Canteen’ album from 1970. He then went solo.

[@stillastillsfan]

A soundboard CD of Dave’s Midnight Special and 1973-1975 performances would be very desirable.

[@grant50]

Awesome! Mike Finnigan on the organ is one of the best!

[@zeusapollo8688]

Oh yeah

[@bradsense7431]

Wow I knew he looked familiar and reading his name brought it all back. I remember that he played with many people and I did actually meet and talk with him for a while backstage at a CS&N concert in 1983 when he toured with them.

[@delmedeiros3570]

​@@bradsense7431among others, he participated in Jimi Hendrix's album Electric Ladyland.

[@GeeBee909]

I think he played with the great Danny O'Keef also

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Thanks for naming him, I agree he’s a great 🎹 player too!

Dave Mason is one of the most awesome singers his music resonates throughout me whenever I play it it reminds me of my youth and a lot of fun memories of my neighbors all my love Toby hassberger My heart is still with you

Satin and sweat like only the 70’s delivered

[@KittyGrizGriz]

😅 Great comment! Was wanting to towel dry Dave’s face here.

[@SheCox-cr3wd]

@@KittyGrizGriz I don't think I have ever seen Dave Mason NOT all sweaty. Still LOVE HIM after all these years, love his voice, love his band.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@SheCox-cr3wd I love Dave, too and wish I’d seen him perform live at least once. Was just on vacation & happened upon a thrift store with albums for $1. I got about 5 of Dave’s, one was the very 1st “Traffic” band album. I had NO idea that Dave Mason was with them in their beginnings?? I’ve been schooled, haha

[@MCW1955]

Love listening to live non auto tuned, non pitch corrected music. I got to grow up with these bands. Most of today’s music is “S”.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

A fantastic performance. I get different musical vibes here, including a little bit of Caribbean influence, as well as a touch of Jimi Hendrix. Dave Mason is a fantastic musician. Cheers!

[@DonaldWebber-o9v]

One of the most unappreciated artists , Dave is a talent I've always loved

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Still have my 1st album of Dave’s, bought when it came out by my date when we went to the record store, believe it was called “Peaches Records and Tapes?” Thanks Chris 😉. ‘78 “Mariposa De Oro” is wonderful. What a fantastic singer/guitarist Dave is, whew so lovely am thoroughly enjoying this! He’s got the most gorgeous voice, dark brown eyes & long-dark eyelashes. Thank you Midnight Special! ☺️

[@jujumulligan43]

Love this guy. He continues to entertain us with incredible music. He was showcased in Traffic then did amazing work on his own.❤❤❤

[@parmahmac6073]

This one is on repeat. We need a Midnight Special compilation album. Is there one? Dave Mason’s voice is amazing.

[@PleaseNThankYou]

My stupit ass threw away a gift set of MIDNIGHT SPECIAL. A Time Life thing if you're old enough to know what those were. I think they were CDs. Every. Flippin' M.S. show. Thanks for reminding me to kick my own ass again. 😊

[@StephanieJeanne]

It's a great song, though!

[@gregoryduncan3067]

It was on his debut album.

[@mondavou9408]

I had never heard it before but I'm mesmerized by his phenomenal vocals.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

I honestly hadn’t heard it before either, absolutely entranced with the song-delivery here. Dave’s voice is fantastic as is, his guitar skills.

[@gregwheless5171]

@StephanieJeanne Absolutely agree with you . Similar to the Beatles , none of Dave's songs are hard to listen to .

[@mondavou9408]

Gosh he is really, really good.

[@StephanieJeanne]

Great song! It had a little acoustic feel, that 70s funky guitar sound and organ, and then it got downright psychadelic!🔥 Dave is great live, too! When I saw him it was all acoustic, just himself and another guy. Thanks, Midnight Special! 😁💜

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I never saw Dave Mason live. I'd like to. Cheers! ✌️

The other guy is the guitarist in this video...Jim Krueger (RIP)

@@StephanieJeanne It's possible, they played together for a long time. There are videos with them together after the 70s. I'll look into it.

@@StephanieJeanne I looked and apparently he only played with Dave until the early 80's, so I believe it was another guitarist that you saw...sorry for my mistake. Jim Krueger passed away in 1993.

[@AdamDeanMusic]

The wonderful Mike Finnigan! R.I.P.

[@delmedeiros3570]

Mike Finnigan, besides being a great keyboardist, was a fantastic singer. Listen to him on Dave Mason's live album (Certified Live) singing the blues "Goin down slow"... where he also evokes Ray Charles in the song's introduction. Your interpretation of this classic is chilling.

[@leiferickson5069]

Both Mason and Finnigan played on Electric Ladyland.

[@25830]

Mike Finnigan on The "B" just killin it. Love to hear that Leslie spooling up!!!!

[@shyman99]

Living legend.

[@executivedecision6141]

I enjoyed a lot of Dave Mason's music over the years. He's still performing now. As with other famous performers who went bald ( such as Jonathan Banks and John Travolta ), Dave eventually shaved his head.

[@jamesduggan9947]

What difference does that make.?

[@executivedecision6141]

@@jamesduggan9947 It doesn't.... I was just mentioning some trivia.

[@michaelcollums4197]

I still have my original marble Dave Mason Alone Together album I bought in 1970. Still one of my favorite albums. Just a fun fact Dave Mason played acoustic guitar on All Along the Watch Tower from Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland album.

[@CraigBettinson]

Dave is kicking off his Traffic Jam tour at the end of February and plans to tour all year across the USA. His current band rocks and includes Mark Stein Of Vanilla Fudge dame.

[@martinboere3274]

Those guys in the band seem to be really up their instruments. As for James Mason himself: a very underrated artist.

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard this guy before. I’m drawing a blank on the name. But he has a terrific voice. I wonder if he has any effects on his mic though? If not he has this natural reverb when he sings that’s amazing. It sounds like he’s singing in, oh, a cave maybe. But it’s really good. Now I might have to look at some of his other music. (I just looked and he sings, “We Just Disagree.” I’ve heard that song probably hundreds of times but I didn’t know who sings it.)

[@GeeBee909]

Check out his live version of All Along The Watchtower here on You Tube. It is outstanding. Dave and his band "clean house" with this version (his Live LP recorded at the Universial Amp. Theather in 1970's)

[@BigSky1]

Try looking up Traffic. First 2 albums with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood and you will know who Dave is.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@BigSky1I love the band “Traffic” so much! Saw Stevie Winwood solo several years ago, he’s so good exceptional- with a fantastic voice.
