Gov't Mule
The Orpheum Theatre
Boston, MA

Happy Mule-O-Ween from The Orpheum! From the first note of Brighter Days, this show was on par to be a great one. Bad Little Doggie and Brand New Angel were ferocious and Gameface was perfect all by itself. Trane teased through Third Stone From The Sun and Eternity's Breath before arriving at a momentous St. Stephen Jam. Monkey Hill set up for Child Of The Earth and the set closing Kinder Bird Jam-> Kind Of Bird soared. This year the set break seemed to be a bit windy- inside. As the second set drew nearer, the wind started to swirl around the theater that had been set up with a quadrophonic PA. Then Jorgen stepped on the gas, the lasers lit up the room and we all drove headfirst into Pink Floyd's One Of These Days. Fearless followed and as the band faded out, the soccer chants (as per the album) began and led right into Pigs On The Wing Part 2. The set went on with Shine On You Crazy Diamond featuring the requisite female vocalists, two of the three who in fact sang these same songs on tour with Pink Floyd. Matt sang Have A Cigar and the addition of Ron Holloway on saxophone clinched this night as one of the more spectactular nights of music to behold. -One final note: There are a few spots where some of the sound effects seem to almost disappear. This is a result of the live show being mixed quadrophonically, but recorded in stereo. If you listen closely you can hear the effects going around the rear quad speakers in the audience microphones.
