Gov’t Mule has been relentlessly touring since 1994. During those 23 years, they have zigzagged the US dozens of times, gone to South America, Japan, Israel and Europe multiple times. The Mule has even made their way to Australia. It would be noteworthy for a band with 2,000 gigs under their belt to hit a new country. On Sunday, Gov’t Mule played in Ireland for the very first time.

Warren and company treated Dublin to two sets that were low on covers and heavy on original material spanning their 20+ year recording history. If you’ve never been to a Mule show, you need to hear tunes like “Mule,” “Bands of the Deep End,” and “Thorazine Shuffle,” am I right?

The Mule did play one very notable cover for Dublin—the Allman Brothers Band classic “Dreams.”
