I'm a fan of early Fleetwood Mac and I haven't really followed Dave Mason's career. I've long had a question: who played the lead guitar on Traffic's original releases of "Pearly Queen", "Dear Mr. Fantasy", and "You Can All Join In"? Thanks to anyone who can answer a question I've had for nearly 4 decades!

I don't know about PQ, but Dave only played bass on "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and I assume he did the leads on YCAJI, since it was his song.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks for the answer, Steve.
