Dear Dave,

WOW!!! & THANK YOU!!!

Our Platinum backstage "meet and greet" experience had to be one of the greatest moments in my life! Such unbelievably great talent, and such an incredibly loving and caring soul -- can't ask for a more memorable experience! You and the band took the time out from your oh-so-busy schedule to just hang with us -- so awesome! Extra special thanks to Chrissie and Alex ( two really amazing folks!) for taking care of absolutely every last detail -- which made the experience even more wonderful! We felt like the stars that night! As if that weren't great enough -- we then had the privilege of enjoying you and the band put on what can only be described as the ultimate show of shows! You and the boys have so much talent, and are such a tight band that the entire audience ( us included of course!) seemed to be in rock & roll awe the entire evening. Not many times in one's lifetime do you see such a profound effect on so many people simultaneously! We will certainly be keeping a look out for the next time you and the boys are heading our way---and may just have to do a repeat experience--or two!!!!!

Thank you again Dave, for the precious gift that you give to each and every one of us who is lucky enough to get to see you and the boys perform!!!
And a great big THANK YOU for supporting our vets!!
Looking forward to the next one!!!

Much love and admiration,

Dave & Helen Bisbee

Hello to you!

What an incredible performance, yet again. Your shows never cease to leave us in awe. Last night's show was especially significant as we were able to help the cause with our donation for the guitar (which is being framed as we speak) and since both our fathers are veterans, it made the evening rock even harder.

Again, thanks for all you do & we look forward to seeing you perform soon, do keep in touch.

Dear Dave

Barb and I would like to thank you for giving us such a phenomenal experience watching and hearing you and your band perform in Laughlin, Nevada. Getting to meet you, talk with you and even playing a little "black jack" with you made me feel right at home. Additionally, meeting some of the other musicians in your band was an added, exceptional encounter we had hoped for but weren't expecting.

Give our gratitude to Christina, Jerry and Alex, for doing such an exceptional job setting up all the arrangements for the concert, providing us with our shirts, hats, i.e., memorabilia and all for their guidance. For without their expertise a nd genuine hospitality we would not have felt as welcome at your concert and in our temporary new environment.

Dave, it was certainly a pleasure meeting you, your band and staff. My wife and I look forward to seeing you perform again next year; perhaps in Florida, or if not there, we'll travel to another destination.

Wishing you the best,

Glen and Barb Davis
Phoenix City, AL

Hi Dave,

My friend and I really enjoyed your concert. We were so happy to contribute to your cause for our brave servicemen. You were so kind to take a picture with my friend Sue and I. I am attaching it. If you want to put it on your website, as your fans, we would be thrilled. Keep up the good work, and we hope to see you again in concert.

Best regards, Suzanne Schwartz

Dave,

Thank you so much for taking the time to chat and take a picture last night at Capital One Westbury NY.

It was my wife's birthday and you made it better than I could have expected !!! The set was fantastic. Your voice seems stronger than ever. The band was tight, tight tight. We are also loving the new album.  It's refreshing, reflects the past but it's the present. Thanks for making it. AND MAKE SOME MORE !!! We need new material.

You are such an inspiration. I played as a solo and in a  fairly popular Jersey band for years. Needless to say I played so much of your music in my sets that I probably could have jumped on stage with you!!!

Thanks again for taking the time!!! It meant a lot to us.

Tom

Thank you Dave and everyone for the exceptional meet and greet and show last week.  

It was great to enjoy the backstage experience.  Later that evening we met up with Alvino and Gerald and had much fun, what a group of Great guys!!!  And let me not forget breakfast with Johnne and Gerald. 

Thank you guys, we really enjoyed the conversation and hope to cross paths again one day. 

Keep on Rockin'!!!

Thanks so much to everyone for your friendly and kind staff for looking after my experience. They really took good care of me, especially Alex. I really enjoyed talking with Dave and discussing some of the technical things he did on "Alone Together", my life changing experience.

You guys were so good and concerned about my Gold Package experience. What a concert here in Las Vegas. I have seen Dave many times dating back to the SF Fillmore and Winterland days and he hasn't lost the guitar prowess or the voice.

Congratulations Dave, on a great new album, "26 Letters-12 Notes" and thanks for appreciating a longtime fan

Cheers, Jack & Becky Graves

Dave Mason - Austin, Texas - VIP Treatment

What a “large time” we had with Dave and the band at a recent show at Antone’s, a small venue in Austin’s 6th street area. The VIP treatment started with Miss Chrissie handling the arrangements for the show and continued upon our arrival as tour manager/bass player Alex Drizos meet us at the door, showered us with gifts and introduced us to Dave and the band. It was a special night for me and my wife to meet a true rock and roll legend. We talked, had a few photos and then watched another amazing performance by one of the best live bands around. Great vocals, amazing guitar work, legendary songs – doesn’t get much better than that! Thanks to everyone involved and we hope to do it again one of these days.

Cheers, Jack & Becky Graves

We listened to a lot of Dave’s music in college a few years ago.  So when the chance to get back together for a Dave Mason concert presented itself we couldn’t resist.  After settling on the date and location, we came down with a bad case of “you only live once” and decided to add the Platinum VIP Package to our reunion plans.  It turned out to be a much smarter decision than any we ever made in college!
 
We got the royal treatment on June 2nd, 2007 at the Twin Rivers Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island.  Dave is every bit as personable as he is talented... and that’s saying something. All our expectations were exceeded by the meet with Dave and the band.  Then it got better.  We had the 4 best seats in the house for a Dave Mason concert.  To call it a memorable experience
doesn’t quite capture the intensity of the evening.
 
Every part of the VIP program was great.  From emails with the DM team (especially Miss Chrissie!), to sharing a few laughs with Alex, meeting the band, pictures, autographs, merchandise, questions, answers, front row seats, and meeting Mr. Dave Mason personally.  Not bad for four guys from the dorm.   

Thank you, Dave, for everything!

I have been a D.M. fan since I first saw him in Birmingham, england. He was playing in a little band called Traffic. Over time his bandmates have included such luminaries as Finnigan, Harrison, Clapton, Kreuger, and his current awesome lineup. Like Roy Orbison before him, Dave's voice seems to get better with age.

My wife and I recently had the opportunity of a lifetime and enjoyed the V.I.P. Experience at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. Dave's bass player, Alex greeted us and made sure we were treated like royalty. Meeting one of my favorite singer/songwriter/guitarists, Mr. Mason was an experience I will never forget. We had a ball and encourage any fan to step up and do the same.

God bless you Dave! Jeff & Carol

I've been following the career of Dave Mason since the mid-70's and the "It's Like You Never Left" album, my favorite. I'm not sure if it was Dave's fantastic songwriting, incredible voice, or the sweet, fluid chords of that mesmerizing guitar, but the music of Dave Mason is quite frankly, the best music that I've ever heard. Thirty years and four children later, I noticed my frequent playing of Dave's music around the house and in my truck made disciples of the entire family, including my wife Jennifer. Katie (13), Jackie (10), Maddie (8), and even Sam (4) were now requesting to hear specific songs and actually singing along with the GREAT one himself! It had been 10 years since I'd seen Dave in concert so I packed up the team and made the trip to the Sunset Theater in Carmel, California, where Dave and his band were performing. To make the event extra special, I decided to invest in the VIP experience offered on Dave's site. With the assistance of Tami Matlaf, it became a reality.

On August 26th, 2006, the six of us had the honor of meeting Dave backstage. All of us were nervous at first but it was Dave's engaging personality and his sense of humor that put everyone at ease, as he fielded one question after another. What a memorable experience it was, especially for me as Dave is and always will be the standard of which all others will be compared. I came away impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-going style and his obvious musical genius. I think Dave was equally impressed with us, as the kids were clearly the youngest in the crowd.

We were rewarded with a show that was off the hook! From the well deserved standing ovation as he stepped out on stage, through the "Pretty in Pink" drum solo, to the "Feelin' Alright" finale, it was a night to remember.

Dave autographed everything we had and posed for photos, leaving everyone with a smile and comments like, "Hey, I like that guy!". It is no wonder he is in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Thanks to Tami and Alex Drizos for making our brush with fame possible, and thank you Dave Mason for enriching our lives with music that will outlive us all.

Dave Mason rocked a packed house in Kansas City last night, simply awesome! Thanks to the VIP Experience, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Legend made my 30th Anniversary present to my wife a once in a lifetime personal event for us both.  Without question Dave’s warm and sincere attitude; and personal regard for us exceeded all expectations.  The entire band treated me as though I was an old friend, and indeed I now consider them as brilliantly gifted friends. Tami is the person who makes it all happen.  Her efforts were relentless to make our anniversary special and because of her I will do it again at my next Dave Mason concert, without reservation.  Through this opportunity I learned that Dave Mason is a special person in a way that transcends his genius level talent.  If you are a fan, you absolutely must seize the opportunity of the VIP Experience, it is the event of a lifetime.
