June 24 street date. Unreleased rare radio sessions from 1970 & 1971. Features acoustic versions of some classic and some rare Denver songs along with a candid and relaxed interview format.

Denver says on air that he had been up all night writing this new song, Starwood In Aspen, and most likely this is the first performance of this fan favourite.

Two Months after the first 1970 session the album 'Take Me Tomorrow' was released .
