2017 Full Show AUD

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!

Gov’t Mule played a classic, two set barn-burner in Concord over the weekend. With Mule being the only act on the bill, they busted out a 19-song show that clocked in at nearly two and half hours.

Some of the highlights include hard-hitting versions of “Game Face” and “Time to Confess” in the first set. See if you can catch all the teases that Warren throws into “Game Face.” Mule paid homage to their brother’s in arms this September, ZZ Top with a couple of classic covers for the encore.

Listen to Gov’t Mule’s Superb “Loser” and “Spanish Moon” Encore in San Diego

Gov’t Mule continued westward this past weekend with a surprise guest and and surprise opener in San Diego. What was predictable at this point, but oh so anticipated was the encore covers with Charlie Starr.

The Mule opened with an unlikely cover of Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker” that was spacey and a little brooding at times. Warren didn’t waste anytime upping the tempo though.

While there were plenty of originals in the set, the Mule played covers of the Beatles, Freddie BB & Albert King,.Beatles, Grateful Dead, Little Feat and teases of Allman Brothers Band, Prince and The Police. Wow.

All-star drummer Steven “Steve” Ferrone who is currently the drummer for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, came out midway through the set to sit in on a few tunes including “Pack It Up”, “The Thrill is Gone” and “Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home.”

After a monster set, Charlie Starr and Blackberry Smoke bassist Richard Turner came out for gorgeous covers of Grateful Dead’s “Loser” and of Little Feat’s “Spanish Moon.” Steve Ferrone came back out for the “Spanish Moon.” I’ve always loved the way Warren played “Loser.” What a treat!

The Mule seems to be gaining strength with every show they play. This one was incredible!

The stream starts at the encore, but I highly recommend rewinding and starting from the beginning! Thanks to ikepgh for the top-notch recording.
