From the ei'irly afternoon one could notice something was happening over in Harrington Auditorium. It took the SocCom stage crew and Lens and Lights more than five hours of sheer pain to set up the stage. Thia writer arrived at 7 p.m. and was amazed by the amount of work done by the crew. The doors opened for the Dave Mason concert at 7:30 p.m., but there was not the big crowd that one usually expects. The show started at 8 p.m. Hans Olson warmed up the audience before Dave Mason. A native of Phoenix, Arizona, Olsen went through thtt dictionary of contemporary music in his one hour performance. Different " portions" of his performance Included rock and blues, blue grass, and raggae. After a couple of tunes the audience began to appreciate his talents especially on such songs as "I'll be Glad When They Run Out of Gas'', Devll Door'', and Blow Brother Blow''. Olson accom­ panied himself on the guitar and har­ monica. The last part of, his per­ formance, the Introduction of the ''band' of this one man show, really cheered up the audience and demon­ strated his Instrumental abilities. After a short break, Dave Mason started his program. Mason Is an old hand to rock and roll. A thirty-five year old native of Worcester, England, Mason, together with such highly ac­ claimed musicians as Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi, and Steve Wlnwood, formed Traffic In 1967. The group was highly successful In the late '60's. Mason quit and came back to the group many times before Its flnal spilt up came about In 1971. By then, he had gained recognition as a talented songwriter and guitarist. Concurrently, he also appeared as a sesalon musician on Graham Nash's Songs of Beginners, George Harrison 'a All Things Must Pass, Rolling Stones' Beggar's Ban­ quet, and Jimmy Hendrix's Electric Lady/and. Throughout hts soto career he has not reached the degree of success he had with Traffic. His best work Is generally accepted to be found on his first solo album, Alone Together. Nevertheless, Mason from his Traffic days to Alone Together to Let It Flew Is a true professional and highly tal­ ented guitarist and songwriter. The Newspeak team ran to the en­ trance to get a shot of Dave Mason before he came on stage; he appeared to be In a really good mood. His second song, "Paralyzed" was from his forth­ coming album entltledO/d Crest of the New Wave. Mason's vocals seemed to be In good shape while he continued his set with some of his most well­ known songs such u "Only You ...

TuHday, Aprtl 22, 1NO NEWSPEAK Page9 on 'Let it flow' Know" and " Every Women ". The girls next to us were singing along. The perfo,·manoe emphasized Mason's guitar vltuoslty and the keyboard player's Jay W indings, hammer-like talents. The night went on and the aud ience seemed to be quite happy with the performance. "We Just Disagree" was probably the most well known song of his whole set. Hans Olson joined Mason on stage with his harmonica on " Cross­ roads" meanwhile Jim Krueger, the second guitarist, demonstrated his talent In a few solos. The membera of the band and Mason hlmself seemed to be very comfortable playing to­ gether and the band 's output was pretty precise. W ith " Let It Flow" the night came to an end , but Mason came back for the encore with " Take It To The Limit'' - While the audience was pleased with the quality, they were nevertheless unhappy with the length of Mason's program. It was a rather short show ...a mere one and a quarter hours. Flying backstage, we tried to see Mason and possibly Interview him. Backstage, after half an hour of wait­ ing and hopelessness, we were finally permitted to talk to him. Mason said that they just started touring again three days ago after two weeks In Cal­ ifornia cutting Mason 's new album. The tour will continue on the east coast. As Mason was quite exhausted and ready to leave, the Interview was cut short. It can be said that the audience en­ joyed the Thursday night concert, al­ though It appeared to be rather short. D. Jay M IMarco, SocCom Chairman, said that about 250 tickets were sold at the door. This brought total ticket sales to about 1000 seats. Although the SocCom and WPI students still stand to lose several thousand dol'ars, DI Marco was happy and said that " It could have been worse." The SocCom and Its stage crew members headed by John Corey did a really good job In arranging the concert. Hopefully we' ll reach the day that most of WPI ap­ preciates SocCom's struggle to ar­ range these programs and supports SocCom too. One last word , there are at least as many less well-known good bands around as there are the famous ones, and the commercial success never dic­ tates the quality of the performance. Most of the bands that people at WPI want to see are not In the range of Social Committee's budget, and do not play on college campuses. Now that we know these facts let us at least sup­ port our Soolal Committee for arrang­ ing acts that you do not hear much about, but are thoroughly worth ae&­ lng as was the Dave Mason Concert on this past Thursday, night. ...
