Red Rocks Amphitheater,
Morrison, CO

"Mason B. Taylor was a taper from Chicago that recorded concerts by many bands in the Chicagoland area and on Dead tours. He used a Nakamichi 550 with Nakamichi 300 mics with shotgun capsules for most of his earlier recordings. In later years he used Sony D-5 and Sony D-3 cassette recorders with Nakamichi 300 mics.

Mason captured spectacular musical moments and loved to share them with his closest friends. In honor of Mason and all the love he put into his recordings we are now able to share these moments with those who can appreciate them most.

As the shows get uploaded we would love for you to share your stories about the epic times the music evokes so we can all dial back into that moment when the magic was happening.

Thanks to MasonÂ’s family and his Chicago and Cleveland friends for opening up MasonÂ’s JarÂ…"

Note: OK, it's the rain day at Red Rocks so Mason patched into a 441>d5>to his 550 for the show..lots of talking girls, rain on the umbrellas, worries about mics coming down or not, and all that jazz, but as GD freaks, we sorta enjoy hearing all this stuff.
Far from perfect, but its what happened!
