Gov't Mule - LIVE 04/13/2007 [128k MP3] Live Oak, FL

Gov't Mule
Wanee Festival
04.13.07
Live Oak, FL

As dependable as the rising of the sun, the Wanee Festival in Live Oak, Florida brings forth a Mule rested from winter slumbers. Warming in the spring sun, the Mule shook its coat free of the settled glistening dew in a colorful kaleidoscopic cascade that began with a constructive Hammer and Nails that built the framework for a rousing return to the road. Thorazine Shuffle shuffled into the second song slot and the Mule style cover of Bob Marley's Lively Up Yourself found itself batting cleanup behind Patchwork Quilt. The bases having been cleared, A Million Miles From Yesterday, the title track of The Million Miles Tour, laid down a smooth and sultry groove befitting the setting of live oaks and lively crowd. Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers stylishly made his presence known during That's What Love Will Make You Do. Endless Parade, in all of it's soaring glory, wound it's way into If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right; a beautiful cover penned by and dedicated to the recently passed Luther Ingram. Unring The Bell blazed with all the ferocity of a Wanee campsite fire but yielded to the night's set closer, Blind Man In The Dark. Although three months may have passed since the band shared a stage, and the saddle may have been a bit stiff from lack of use, it didn't take long for the Mule to work up a lather and go galloping off down the trail towards what looks to be an exceptional 2007; if tonight's show is any indication.
