[.ca] Dave Mason: Live at Sunrise

was the show that short?:
Dave Mason was the first act I ever saw live in 1974. He can still play with the best of them. What he's lost in hair, he's picked up in girth, but haven't we all? My only complaint is the length of this DVD. Unless something's changed, Dave probably played a longer set than this. His playing is excellent, and his band, while not as tight as the group on his double live album of the mid-70's, is more than adequate. Live at Perkins Palace is probably the more interesting of his 2 recent releases, it being recorded in the 80's in a purely acoustic setting. Still, I bought both, and I'd urge you to do the same.

let down:
Dave Mason's music is of course great. But you would think that after all these years he would want to present it more professionaly. As he say's "rock-n-roll is an attitude not an age". I am older now and my entertainment criteria has changed. Maybe I'm spoiled by Elton John's outstanding DVD or Peter Gabriel's interesting show's. Dave Mason is a legend and will alway's remain so but he could have done better.

Mason STILL rocks!:
Incredible, simply incredible. The down side, the show is short. The up side, Mason's band is one of the best I've heard. Dave sounds GREAT and the band is tight. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Dave Mason: Live at Sunrise.:
Some things just get better with age. A spectacular performance from a consummate guitarist and songwriter.

A very pleasant surprise:
$20 (a month) + Netflix = opportunities to audition numerous concert DVD's. Some are better than others but occasionally you come across a real gem. Such is Live at Sunrise. Sound and video are excellent and the camera work is some of the best. You actually get to focus on the camera shots. This is how a show should be recorded - lots of stage shots and close ups of Dave's very talented playing (as well as the other members). If you like Dave's music, Traffic in their prime and you're a baby boomer like me then you'll probably like this one. Oh yeah, 4 stars???? Well it's in full screen. Anamorphic would have rated 5 starts.
