excellent well played and warm show, have listened several times and really enjoy the show immensely, Down to Eugene is one of my favorite songs as well as Pancho and Lefty. Hope to see David at Mexicali Blues on his next trip to NJ.

I can't say enough about David and his music and this two disc set is a must have for his fans. It would also make a great way to introduce anyone who is so deprived as to not know about the wonderful music David creates. It definitely will make them hungry for more.

Although the other David Gans house and other concerts I've attended were fantastic, the Missoula house concert recording should not go unheard. David's personable commentaries on his music and witty lyrics make this show a memorable one. I particularly like Bounty From the County, co-written by David and his wife about going to the farmer's market and eating healthy. My wife's favorite is "Save Us From the Saved", which definitely could not be said better! My daughter (who knows many of the words to David's songs) loves "Down to Eugene" and "It's Gonna Get Better". Another original that makes one think is David's own "Ran Into God". He also does an excellent version of the Beatles' Norwegian Wood! All the music is refreshing, with a great hypnotic and psychedelic twist. I would highly recommend supporting such a talented musician and friend. You will no doubt agree it is worth the little he's asking for so much great music!

This 2-CD set is a must-have for fans of both David Gans and The Grateful Dead. The recording was made September 4th, 2010 at a house concert (the house being known as "Club Meg" to friends and family) in Missoula, Montana. There was a magic in the air that night and it's apparent on the recording. The collection of songs is a mix of David's originals, Grateful Dead tunes and a few interesting blends of both. The performance features David's tasteful and skillful use of "looping", which adds a layer of complexity to the music, thereby making it more compelling and interesting. In addition, David's wit and sense of humor come out as he gets intimate with his audiance. David Gans is a class-act and this recording is a treat to listen to - and you will, over and over again!
