Gov’t Mule has returned
The new line up is great. Finally having a permenete bass player is going to only make this band get better. Andy Hess as the new bass player was the best bet. When I saw Mule at The Stone Pony I knew he was the pick. He is so versatile and fits right in. I just hope he starts coming out of the box he has built with the monitor speakers and actually turns and faces the crowed and interacts with them a little more.
What about Danny playing trumpet on “John the Revelator” it was great. And Chris Robinson has a great voice and the version they did of Sometimes Salvation was great.
A good show, can’t wait to see them on there Beacon run at the end of December.
