Chelmarie Johnson Your dad? That's so cool. He was my favorite bass player ever. Funkiest and bluesyest bass player I ever heard. I liked Dave Mason, but after his live album with Geralds incredible bass lines and his awesome solo in Give me some lovin, I was hooked on Dave Mason. Your dad became to me, as a bass player myself, the prime example of what a great rock/funk bass player is supposed to sound like. Dave hit the lottery when he found your dad.
Saw Dave perform a couple of times. One night two friends and I scored tickets to a Delaney & Bonnie gig. Bonnie came up to the mike and said, "We've got a real treat for you tonight. We have Dave Mason on guitar." The three of us stood up to cheer. No one else in the place even knew who he was. Such was Calgary.
Loved Dave Mason live! He is so underrated after coming up with great songs like Feeling Alright and Only You Know and I Know. Dave Mason is the greatest song writer and rock star.
Johnne! I had the opportunity to get the 24 trk master reels from this show! They used 2 inch tape and two recorders to stagger in the event a tape would run out during a song and then they could edit if need be! I ended up with the 6 reels of KANSAS and 3 OF TRIUMPH, and only a reel with one song from Dave. I mixed the KANSAS and TRIUMPH and gave the KANSAS reels to Kerry Livgren. The tapes sat in a building for years until someone just wanted rid of them! All I could afford was what I got and had to meet the guy halfway from Canada to Pennsylvania. I sure wish I had grabbed the masters of your set. I wonder where they landed!
Damn, they don't play music like that today. Well done to all the musicians and the main man Dave Mason with his melodic song writing. Lead guitarist and bassist were tearing it up.
From what I remember it was prefect weather. Mid 70's and sunny. After they got the tower delay worked out it sounded pretty good back from the stage. My God, That was a lifetime ago. I was 17.
Can't believe how lucky I was to be their when I was 20 Y.O. Now, almost 46 years later I am lucky to relive that great weekend at Mosport Speedway. Ron Binks.
I’m learning this song recently. Female vocals, and I’m 64 years old. The guys in the band wanted me to learn the song from Joan Osborne’s interpretation, but I needed to hear the original to see how it’s really supposed to go…so glad I did. My hubby is doing the guitar solos, so I will pass this along to him as well. Thanks for having this recording available!
I thought Delaney & Bonnie with Duane Allman would be the best version of this song.. until I came across this. What a phenomenal bunch of players all in the same groove absolutely going for it. I was also mistaken about who was the main driving force in Traffic which, in their earlier best years was very much a collaboration and without Dave Mason would’ve been far inferior. And his singing live here is even better than the original version. I am blown away by this clip.. fantastic stuff! And a quick thought to end with - I wonder if Mick Fleetwood was a fan of what Delaney and Bonnie were doing back in 69 / 70 because it sure seems similar to the Buckingham Nicks thing his band were having so much success with not so long after. Blah, blah, I rest my case.. 😂
What a wonderful Band and what a great performer Dave Mason ! I should have been there but for a young boy, 25 at this time it wasn`t to fly to canada just for one concert.
I'll tell you, this is 5 minutes from my house and about 40 years. I wish i could have seen it like this, i believe i can see lake ontario in the backdrop
I went to that Canada Jam gig 'just' pretty much just to listen to this set. Left not much after Mason left the stage . . . No real reason too stay. His set? Blistering. And I remember not very enthusiastic applause in general and man people wondering who he was.
Terra148 Wondering who HE was? What’s wrong with your fellow Canadians? Dude still great but HUGE solo act in 70’s. Routinely still headlining arenas at that time. Great opening act too usually, Flo and Eddie!
You know what?!?! Blacks and Whites were doin just fine back in these days. We can go back to it we just gotta stop bringing up Black and White and relearn how to laugh AT and with one another again. They don’t make bands like this anymore and they sure as hell don’t know how to have fun at a Rock Concert anymore. Give me the good ole days anytime.. we were making real “progress” back then..
Look at my Dad on the bass. Gerald Johnson ROCKS! ❤
He's definitely groovin' on this one. Great bass line.
Chelmarie Johnson Your dad?
That's so cool. He was my favorite bass player ever.

Dave hit the lottery when he found your dad.
Yes he does Chelmarie!!
They were all rocking it home...!
Omg yes I noticed him in another video....he is jamming!!
Dave is one of the coolest rockers. He was my first concert I went to in the 8th grade. I’m 64 now and Dave is still Rockin
That's my brother and band mate since I was 14 years old, Tony Dean Eisenbarger on guitar.
Dave Mason is one of the most underrated rock geniuses of all time
He played on Jimi's All ALong the Watchtower btw :)
Still one of the best live rock acts you will ever see!!!
evidenced by this - so many music adjustment-what perfectionism!

The bass is killing it.
I was at this concert weekend in 1978 !!!! Canada Jam 78 Baby !!! Dave Mason is the man !!
We hitched out there when I was just 12 I was there the night before 😅
Man !!! I need a time machine...!!!

Chelmarie saying your dad rocks is an understatement!
I sure do miss the 1970's!
Great song, killer performance. Terrific players
One of my favorite songs! Love it as much now as when the sing was released in '71 I believe.
Damn, they don't play music like that today. Well done to all the musicians and the main man Dave Mason with his melodic song writing. Lead guitarist and bassist were tearing it up.
They sure were, they were firing
The bass player’s daughter posted somewhere on this video about him. That’s so cool.
I keep coming back for more of this musical gem 💎
I've seen DM live several times but I've never seen him be so energetic, he must've been in a really good mood that day! !
He may have gotten a few chunks of our spiked watermelon before they came out to perform 🤷 😮😮😮😮🍉 🍉 🍉 🍉
Wow Tony Dean Eisenbarger really lighting it up on the guitar!
He's still rockin the country
I d love to see Dave and Gerald in action again
Honestly 🥰🥰😋😌😘
Absolutely one of my favorites!
Great 🎸 dave mason ..great vinil. Alone Together..
Alone Together. An oft-played album of mine back in the day. Saw him with Fleetwood Mac many moons ago. Good stuff!
From what I remember it was prefect weather. Mid 70's and sunny. After they got the tower delay worked out it sounded pretty good back from the stage. My God, That was a lifetime ago. I was 17.
Oh man, the stage is packed with Mesa Boogies Mark I!!!!!
This is the best collaboration of band mates I think i ever heard. And Gerald Johnson pushing Dave!!
Luv luv luv
Can't believe how lucky I was to be their when I was 20 Y.O. Now, almost 46 years later I am lucky to relive that great weekend at Mosport Speedway. Ron Binks.
That was a great band, all the pieces were top rate, world class musicians
KILLER bassist!
Omg, amazing ❤
Look at you go Johnne ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I worked this show. Was there with Prism. Great time.
Isn’t he lovely with all of the boys honouring us in Canada..🇨🇦
Wow... Mark Stein!
I was there! It was fantastic.
Lucky you. Looks like the band was having a great time, must’ve been infectious to the crowd. God what a carefree time in the 80’s compared to now.

Great fun on that tour ! Great band . Great crew .
What a FABULOUS tambourine man

Mr Dave Mason who palyed guitar on Jimi's All Along the Watchtower

Mark Stein from Vanilla Fudge on keys
Crazy...

Ladies and gentlemen introducing Mark Stein from Vanilla Fudge on keyboards

Ya know ya can't go on getting your own way cause if ya do do do it's gonna get ya some day
Jim bruiser Krueger on lead guitar
He was not in this band...on this day.
Jimmy was awesome. He actually wrote "WE JUST DISAGREE".
That was in 1975
Great Song

Anyone have a time machine?

Man, will you give that shit a rest?
@@rayjr62 give what shit a rest?
Beautiful. Check out our channel for an interview with Dave Mason aboard Rock Legends Cruise III.
At first glance I thought I was watching Little Feat, but Sam Clayton sang a little lower
The band is smoking.
Great version, but bass player kinda disco busy!
Oh well it was 1978 gold chains with dumb medallions !
The gold medallions were where they hid their stash of blow..lol
@John Smith Yeah, they were so obviously jacked-up...some blow...some H!?
Allman Bros
Doobie Bros?
Traffic....
