As musician, I am capable of perfection – I can and do deliver performances that excel both technically and spiritually – but I don’t demand it of myself. And more importantly, I don’t expect my/our performances to be perfect. I craft my music carefully in the studio, but I’m not concerned with re-creating it onstage. A live performance is a real-time conversation, with everyone present participating. It’s about connecting, not perfecting.
“David Gans has a wonderful way of getting to the emotional center of Grateful Dead songs. He has very much his own twist on these world treasures and yet pays proper homage to the elements that made them great.”
–Jeff Mattson, Dark Star Orchestra
