Alex and I had pretty good seats last night. It was the first time both of us to see Gov't Mule and they played two sets totaling about 3 hours.
Hard to tell what songs were originals and which were covers but I do remember Billy Cobham's Stratus, Weather Report's Birdland, a reggae version of Steve Miller's The Joker into a Bob Marley tune, a tribute to Joe Cocker (Leonard Cohen's Bird on a Wire and the Boxtop's The Letter). There were two excellent girl backup singers for the Joe Cocker tribute.
Guest drummer Simon Kirke (Free and Bad Company) was on Bad Company's Mr. Big and another tune I forget. The second set ended with Carmine Appice guest drumming to two Rod Stewart tunes -- Hot Legs and Stay with me...
A very satisfying night overall, in my opinion. Too bad we are missing tonight's show with Myles Kennedy.
