Highlights from the Mule’s heavier-than-thou set included a truly amazing re-working of Zep’s “Whole Lotta Love” inside an epic, set-closing “Mule,” during which Warren Haynes flubbed the first chorus. Maybe it was the altitude (9200 feet y’all). A guest appearance from Shemekia Copeland gave the Mule a chance to show off their blues chops on “That’s What Love Will Make You Do;” and their recent single, “Broke Down on the Brazos,” got a chance to open up and breathe fire, even without ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons (who added his flair to the studio track). Check out the whole set list and/or order a recording of the show for your collection at mule.netGov’t Mule has never been an easy band to classify. I hereby dub them, “Psychedelic Trucker Rock.”
