Review threads from previous shows are a good place to start. G&D played at Thanksgiving last year, Markus was here in February with Nu-NRG. They also played together in July of this year.

good stuff
every1 bashes on them i dunno why..but i still love there stuff.
Markus plays differently live than on GDJB. There's a more energetic trancy feel, while still keeping the progressive feel to each of the tracks he plays.
G&D, is more like rock-infused trance. Vocals, covers, funky remixes with guitars and nice percussion.
As prooducers, gabriel and dresden are top notch. I love their tracks/remixes/re-edits...as djs though, their skills could definately use some practice. Must say that i have cringed on more than one occasion when they've been mixing...but other times i've said wow i can't believe they just did that...either way they'll rock the house
Markus definately plays with a hell of a lot more energy live than on the radio or his mix cds. Don't expect for him to show up and start playing tracks from coldharbour sessions...he's gonna bring the armin-esque energy with a progressive edge.

G&D are simply awful djs both in terms of their set-building and mixing. they do have a great time behind the decks (laptops) though and their carefree/goodtimes attitude usually spreads to the crowd -- plus you get to hear almost all of their productions (which i generally am a fan of).
markus is a perfectly serviceable dj, though not mindblowing: seen him twice in miami and a good time was had at both gigs.
