Some of us only know Dave Mason from his time in the band Traffic - others still know him as just a prolific musician who has done great work which got him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But for the crowd here at Mountain Jam, Dave was allowed to put all that aside and rock the mountain for a killer set filled with a smooth 70's sound that kept the crowd swaying along. One of the best moments was Dave announcing "I wrote this song" and then playing the hit "Feelin' Alright" that was one of the songs that made Joe Cocker a household name. See? You can learn interesting things at festivals. Also in the set were rare gems "Only You Know And I Know" and "You And Me We Just Disagree".
Amidst all the flavors that MJVI has served up so far this weekend, there was a really warm feeling (and that's not just the sunburn) that Dave radiated with his music. To see a living legend show us why he is a master of his craft is always a wonderful thing to experience at a festival and I'm just glad I was there to see it.
