Gov’t Mule – 1/28/10 – Nashville, TN

Gov’t Mule is currently truckin’ along, mid-way through their massive ‘By A Thread Winter 2010 Tour‘. The tour kicked off on January 20th in Fort Lauderdale, FL just 2 days after the conclusion of the band’s first ever ‘Island Exodus’ in Negril, Jamaica. This tour covers serious ground and has already made stops in Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio (all in a little over a week). Upcoming big tour stops include The House of Blues in Cleveland and Chicago AND Dallas, The Pageant in St. Louis, The Filmore in Devner, and Stubb’s Amphitheater in Austin among many others. It’s touring like this that earns Warren Haynes and the Mule Crew serious respect in the Jam Scene and reinforce Warren’s reputation as the hardest working man in Jam.

Check out this fun and eclectic Mule show from Thursday night at the Ryman in Nashville, TN. Mule busted out some rare covers like ‘The Shape I’m In’ (The Band), ‘Ventilator Blues’ (Rolling Stones), and ‘When The Music’s Over’ (The Doors) along w/ more oft-played cover tunes ‘Dear Prudence’ (Beatles), ‘Cortez The Killer’ (Neil Young). Three of these coveres – Ventilator, Dear Prudence, and Cortez – featured guest sit-ins by Audley Freed, guitarist from the Black Crowes.

Phish: Sunday Night in Syracuse

{ Comments (2) }

More Phish goodness in Syracuse on Sunday night 11/22, as the band’s fall tour continues on its east coast trek. First set highlights include a David Bowie opener (for the 10th time ever), a fun Boogie On, and a smoking, exploratory Stash set closer. The second set kicked off with a big Drowned>Twist>Piper>BBFCFM sequence with lots of fun and energetic jamming and some Fishman drum breaks. Late show highlights were a fan-requested Tube, an always-welcome Theme, and a ragin’ Maze.  Next stop for the band is Tuesday and Wednesday night for their first gigs ever at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia.

Phish in Cincy Night 2

{ Leave a Comment }

Night 2 in Cincy built on the energy from night 1 and carried a much more rocking, triumphant tone. The Set 2 combination of Rock and Roll, Ghost, and Backwards Down the Number Line was a great expose of the many sides that Phish rock and roll anthems can take on. The first set was straight ahead rage-in-your face rock – see Wilson, Melt, and Antelope. Other notable jams included a 10 minute Ocelot that found a nice Type II groove before returning to the song’s reprise. All in all, the band in sounding confident and practiced and the tour is picking up speed nicely. Enjoy pics, setlist, dl, and vids below…
