It's amazing how bands who know they are going to be recorded play to the recording and put on their best show. This was not the case for the John Butler Trio. Performing a live show, they were unknowing to the recording of the show for a CD. What you have here is just a band playing like they want to, to the audience and not the recording and this is what made this performance to be absolutly amazing, and believe me, it is amazing. Especially the 12 minute instrumental performance of "Oceans" and the amazing drum solo during the 17 minute playing of "Betterman". This CD truely brings out the talent of the Australian band and is a must for those who appreciate true music at its best. The DVD is astonishing as well but can only be played on Region Free DVD players or PAL. But this is a must for any John Butler Trio fan and for those who just appreciate a good live show.

I saw these kids in Nashville and was blown away! I could not believe a three man band could make so much sound. As soon as I got home I bought "Living 2001-2002" and as soon as I finished listening to it went ahead and ordered this album.....it is great! John Butler Trio must be listened to live and "Live at St Gallen" is a good place to do just that.

If you only own one JBT CD, this is the one to have. This was the era when the band was at its musical peak and before it went into a poppier direction.
