"Recorded before a live audience at the Alladin Theatre in Portland, OR, in September 1998, Visions Under the Moon shows the continuing maturation of the David Nelson Band. They are an intriguing combination of musicians from the San Francisco Bay area and the Baltimore area. This CD features songs that have been played live over the last couple of years. A nice blend of ballads and jam vehicles with a California style. Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics for Long Gone Sam."

"David Nelson has successfully put an album of various types of music together. They are blending tastefully country and jam band music with a hint of celtic and the result being cosmic blues takes on many different colors.As Terrapin Station was the to Grateful Dead, Visions Under the Moon is to the David Nelson Band."
DNB for jams and songs both - beautiful CD!

"This, the third release from the David Nelson Band, is awonderful effort. David played w/ Jerry Garcia back before anyone inthe Grateful Dead had met Jerry, I think, and it shows. His band is very tight and on this CD one gets a nice mix of SONGS along with JAMS. "Edge of the Wire" and "Road to Armageddon" are two originals in regular rotation at DNB live shows. I just caught DNB in San Francisco (Cocodrie, 5/12/00) and San Rafael (5/7/00) and his live show is FABULOUS! Matthew Kelly sat in in SF and Greg Anton was a 2nd drummer in San Rafael. DNB puts on a wonderful live show. The ROCKED the beejeesuz out of The Band's "Rag Mama Rag" at both of these shows. Go see DNB!"
