The Island Exodus may be nearly four months behind us, but a new recording of the star-studded show just popped up on the boards. Gov’t Mule’s annual pilgrimage to Jamaica is usually their first show(s) of the year after their run at the Beacon and in classic Mule fashion, include a lot of sit ins and epic covers.

Mule’s show on January 14th was especially juicy if no other reason than they were joined by six guests from four different bands throughout the evening. Warren and the boys welcomed Ron Holloway, Neal Evans, Nicki Bluhm, Eric Krasno, Jack Ryan and Marcus King to the stage for the majority of the second set.

The first set is no slouch either. Mule busts out the Radiohead “Creep” cover among others and ends the set with an epic “Masters Of War > Rocking In The Free World > Machine Gun (Instrumental) > Rocking In The Free World”

The setlist speaks for itself. This one is a barn-burner!
