While all the drama has unfolded around Woodstock’s 50th anniversary festival this summer, the real tribute to the iconic music festival took place at Mountain Jam. Gov’t Mule’s second set of the festival took place on Saturday night and was the highlight of the festival.

The entire set was dedicated to the music of Woodstock and guests were abound. Mule didn’t just play the hits, but went deep into the catalogues of the bands that ruled in the summer of ’69. Lukas Nelson joined the Mule for some added guitar fire power on a handful of tracks including the Grateful Dead’s “Dark Star” and Buffalo Springfield’s “Mr. Soul” among others.

For the cherry on top, Warren treated Mountain Jam to a 20+ minute take on Jimi Hendrix’s masterpiece “Voodoo Child.”
