Gov’t Mule have announced they will share their live album Stoned Side of the Mule, Vol. 1 & 2 digitally for the first time. The 13-tracks were recorded during the band’s Rolling Stones-themed Halloween show at The Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, Pa.– just outside of Philadelphia–on Oct. 31, 2009. The band shared the evening’s cover of “Under My Thumb” with pristine audio in conjunction with the announcement.
The album was initially issued as a limited vinyl release in 2015 by Provogue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gov’t Mule and quickly sold out. Along with the digital release, the band will share their first-ever European repress of the LP on May 27. The re-release will come on two transparent blue and red vinyl as well as on CD.
Stoned Side of the Mule features the band covering Rolling Stones staples including “Paint It Black,” “Wild Horses,” “Angie,” Brown Sugar,” and more. On the evening of Oct. 31, 2009, Gov’t Mule were joined by Steve Elson, who is known for his saxophone work with David Bowie and Stevie Ray Vaughan and guitarist and vocalist Jackie Greene who is known for his work with The Black Crowes and Phil Lesh & Friends.
