Dave Mason

An account of the short life of genius musician Jimi Hendrix (1942-70), probably the most talented and influential guitarist of the twentieth century: his humble beginnings in Seattle, his time in New York, his rise to fame in swinging London… Live fast, love hard, die young.

This inspiring documentary follows the life and times of Dr. John-Roger - NY Times #1 Bestselling Author and Spiritual Wayshower. From adolescence John-Roger was aware of much more than this physical level.

Originally produced in 1997 as part of the Classic Albums television series, this newly edited, expanded edition features almost 40 minutes of additional content not see in the original feature. Bassist Noel Redding, drummer Mitch Mitchell and co-manager Chas Chandler detailed their contributions while engineer Eddie Kramer re-examined the many multi-track tapes created during the sessions. Help from Jimi's `friends and passengers' came by way of new interviews with drummer Buddy Miles, Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady, Traffic's Dave Mason and Steve Winwood, among others.

One of the few important classic rock musicians to enjoy career longevity of more than three decades, Dave Mason is a powerful talent. The former member of Traffic is filmed live in 2002 performing an intensely passionate set of his greatest hits, spanning from his debut with Traffic through his acclaimed solo career. Songs include "Let It Go, Let It Flow," "We Just Disagree," and "Feelin' Alright." - Dave Mason, Richard Campbell, John Sambataro

Back around 1981, a decade before MTV Unplugged came along, Dave Mason did this 50-minute show at Perkins Palace, playing acoustic guitar and backed by guitarist/violinist Jim Krueger. It was released on laserdisc by Pioneer Artists in the mid-'80s and became a favorite of fans who were equipped to play the software, but the 2002 CD release is the first chance that most of his audience will have to enjoy the performance. Mason does a nice, relaxed, informal set consisting of most of the songs for which he is best known -- "We Just Disagree," "Feelin' Alright," "All Along the Watchtower," "Bring It on Home to Me," "Take It to the Limit," and "Let It Go, Let It Flow" -- the latter beautifully showcasing Mason and Krueger's voices as well as their playing.
