Govt Mule -Baton Rouge

They are playing Dos Equis Pavillion(Starplex) in Dallas which hold 20K people next week. TONS of tickets still available. You can get 3rd row from the stage for $31 plus fees. That is unheard of in this day & age for such a close seat. I'm still trying to figure out why they booked them in such a big place.

I will have to have someone explain the appeal of govt mule to me. I’ve seen them play at festivals a few times and they damn near put me to sleep

Warren Haynes can play I’ll admit but their songs are terrible and their vibe is lackluster

MULE is best during jazzfest when they bring out all the guest musicians. check out there shows on nugs from previous jazzfest.

ABB will always be my first love. I'm one of the few who like the 1990s ABB better than the original.

When Warren and Woody left for full-time Mule, I was on. But when he was touring w/ Further/The Dead, I totally lost interest in his style/music.

They're coming to Charlotte and I've been asked twice if I'm going... I just can't listen to his voice anymore. And his guitar playing is boring AF.

I honestly would have guessed you liked Mule based on some other musical opinions I’ve seen from you.

They’ve slipped a little over the years, but that can be expected when they started out as a hard-charging, heroin addicted three piece writing anti-establishment songs.

Somewhere along the way the vibe changed.

Broke Down on the Brazos

When they did Brazos, recorded at Willie’s Pedernales Studio, Haynes felt like it had a ZZ Top vibe and brought in Billy Gibbons… I actually interviewed Warren for a Where Y’at pre-Jazz Fest album review I did for By A Thread. He said he brought in Gibbons and they “squared off with a couple Les Paul’s”… ha… big dogs get to eat every now and then.

I still have the interview with him recorded on a little hand held device. I was 27.
