"I took two over to Dave's house for him to sign."Really? Name dropping? You two are buds? ;^)
I haven't seen his act since the late '80s, but by then, I must have seen him a half-dozen times.
Follow Ups:
Guilty.I worked with Dave for three years and still help out when he needs me. I was on the road with Dave mixing front of house for 13 months, 2000, 2001.
He still puts on a great show. If you're a fan, check out the "Live
at Sunrise" DVD.I didn't have anything to do with the production but I did mix the house. Dave even gave me a credit for that on the DVD.
Just braggin' :-)

While he was very good in concert, his records really started to fall off and get MOR (middle of the road). I give him credit for not doing most of that crap in concert, but I found that he wasn't reinventing himself in concert either. And his concerts tended to be short. I'd see him at places such as the Orpheum in Boston. He'd do an hour set and then leave and come back and do one or two encores. I remember being astounded while listening to a 2LP live set, hearing him say that he'd be back for a 2nd set after a short break!Overall, record-wise, I tend to like his "Dave Mason is Alive!" and "Headkeeper" LPs on the Blue Thumb label (both inexplicably have overlapping material) to be his best.
Yes, Dave tends to play short sets. He catches hell for that. He has added some new material though.Check out these videos posted by the "team". "Only you know and I know", "We just disagree" and "Let it go let it flow" are from the Sunrise DVD. "Keep on running through my mind" and "How do I get to heaven" are new.
BTW, Dave hates Headkeeper. The label released that without his permission. It was the cause of him leaving Blue Thumb. I love that record but I don't dare ask him to autograph it.
