Dave Mason Is Alive is an album of live recordings by Dave Mason. Recorded in 1971 at the Troubadour club in Los Angeles, the album was released in 1973 by Blue Thumb Records. It has been re-released by MCA Coral (MCA 713).
As reported by William Ruhlmann of AllMusic, the album was released without Mason's approval. Its release by Blue Thumb was prompted by the dispute between it and Mason, a dispute that started midway during the recording of Mason's previous album. That previous album, Headkeeper, had been intended to be a double album, with one disk composed of live recordings and the other of studio recordings. But after Mason ceased work and took possession of some of the studio masters, Blue Thumb released Headkeeper as a single album containing several live recordings. As the dispute with Mason continued, Blue Thumb issued Dave Mason Is Alive, composed entirely of recordings from the same live performance that had been used for Headkeeper. Of the seven tracks on Alive, two of them "Feelin' Alright" and "Just a Song", are repeated from Headkeeper.
All tracks composed by Dave Mason, except where indicated.
