Mertes said he got goose bumps during the show as he watched Mason play songs like “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys,” “Mr. Fantasy” and “All Along the Watchtower.”
During the performance, renowned concert promoter Danny Zelisko also came on stage during the last few songs, Mertes said. Zelisko provided backup vocals to Mason’s performance.
