Wanee headliners and regulars, Gov’t Mule graced the the Peach Stage Saturday afternoon. With a new album on the horizon, one would expect a lot of new material to be played at the festival, but instead Warren and company treated Wanee to a vintage Mule set.

The Mule played tunes like “Mother Earth” and the Grateful Dead’s “St. Stephen,” both of which they have been busting out at shows since the mid 90’s. Warren and the gang did have one new track to share, “Revolution Come, Revolution Go”—a hard rocker that reminds me of Mule’s early days. Mule’s performance of “Revolution Come, Revolution Go” at Wanee was it’s debut performance.

Towards the end of the set, former Allman Brothers alumni, Jack Pearson came out for an epic cover of “Freeway Jam.” Mule finished the set off with a beautiful run of “Beautifully Broken (w/ When Doves Cry jams) Effigy > Hey Joe > Folsom Prison Blues > Effigy.”
