NEW LIVE VIDEO!
On August 25, 2008, David Helpling and Jon Jenkins were joined by long time friend and collaborator Matthew Stewart for a rare live performance at the University Of California San Diego. Some of the best moments of that memorable evening were released on the BEYOND WORDS - RARE LIVE TREASURES limited edition CD - available at deepexile.com.
Thankfully David and Jon's good friend Joe Abreu was on hand (and on stage!) with a video camera to document the rare event. This video combines Joe's live footage of the very same performance of "The Knowing" that appears on the BEYOND WORDS live CD, with some of the spectacular images that Jon and David project on screen when they perform in concert.

Treasure LIVE - a significant event
The largest Qigong gathering in the Western hemisphere took place at the end of June in Orlando, Florida. This significant event was the setting for the first live performance of the Treasure album. Having embraced this music, the leaders of Qi Revolution insisted that David & Jon Jenkins bring the album to life on stage at the peak of this 4-day gathering. Along with drum master Matthew Stewart, David and Jon played to an enthusiastic audience in an ideal concert setting. Jon and David will announce fall concert dates once the Qi Revolution shows are finished. Stay hip to this and other exciting news via David's e-list and the Deep Exile Podcast .
