Back around 1981, a decade before MTV Unplugged came along, Dave Mason did this 50-minute show at Perkins Palace, playing acoustic guitar and backed by guitarist/violinist Jim Krueger. It was released on laserdisc by Pioneer Artists in the mid-'80s and became a favorite of fans who were equipped to play the software, but the 2002 CD release is the first chance that most of his audience will have to enjoy the performance. Mason does a nice, relaxed, informal set consisting of most of the songs for which he is best known -- "We Just Disagree," "Feelin' Alright," "All Along the Watchtower," "Bring It on Home to Me," "Take It to the Limit," and "Let It Go, Let It Flow" -- the latter beautifully showcasing Mason and Krueger's voices as well as their playing.

Filmed during the months of June and August 1984 in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Mesa Verde National Park and the Navajo Nation. This program reveals scenes of the lushness of California's summer accompanied by the music of Windham Hill artists, William Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, Mark Isham, Shadowfax, and Liz Story.

This program has been hailed as a natural moment so perfectly described that it will never be forgotten. Scenes captured in Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California during the months of December 1984 and January 1985 accompanied by the music of 12 Windham Hill artists. Includes an original composition by Mark Isham created and scored for this video.
