CRITIC’S PICK: Dave Mason, Jefferson Starship, Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater—Lovers of 70s music, start your engines. Dave Mason’s tenure with the jazz-folk oriented Traffic was just the beginning as he then cranked out some easy listening, Yacht-rocky fare such as “Every Woman” and “We Just Disagree” unrepresentative of his more rocking side. The openers are pretty much an official cover band as only one original member, bassist David Freiberg, remains from their prime AOR years. Hopefully they will toss in some Airplane tunes to balance out the schlockier “We Built This City” mega-hits. No guarantees though. — Hal Horowitz
