Gov't Mule - Mulennium [3 CD, 2010/FLAC]

 

This is the first Gov't Mule release featuring the original trio since the passing of Allen Woody. Recorded live at the Roxy in Atlanta, GA on December 31, 1999.

Since 1994, Gov't Mule has celebrated the upcoming New Year with unique fan-pleasing concerts that showcase their wide-ranging repertoire, virtuosic musicianship and commitment to their fans. New Year's is very special not only to the fans but to the band as well.

December 31, 1999, ushered in a new century and millennium and called for something truly magical - and that nights show at Atlanta's historic Fox theater delivered it. What made the show so extraordinary? For starters, Little Milton, one of Warren Haynes' most important influences, joins Gov't Mule for six songs including 'I Can't Quit You Baby' and 'It Hurts Me Too'. Other special guests include longtime Mule friends and collaborators Audley Freed (Black Crows), Robert Kearns, Johnny Mosier, Mark Van Allen and Barry Richman. Secondly, this show contains many Mule covers played for the first time including The Black Crows 'Sometimes Salvation' and King Krimson's '21st Century Schzoid Man'.

"Bad Little Doggie" begins, as many Mule shows have over the years, with the stage introduction by Kirk West, longtime Allman Brothers Band roadie and "tour mystic." West's spiel this time out is a bit involved, both in terms of what he has to say and the way in which the band's riffing fits in with it.

"Countdown Jam" was played while the band was waiting to count down to midnight. "21st Century Schizoid Man," which followed as the new year began, was chosen to usher in the new millennium.
