Govt. Mule

Are you treating for my airfare and letting me stay at your home Günter?

Roy

Yep, I'll be there alright. Flying out to Berlin on the morning of the 21st, seeing Mule with Günter and Thomas in the evening, a bit of sightseeing on the 22nd and home on the 23rd.

A very nice mini-break. Sure you can't join us Roy? Can't stretch to the airfare but I'll buy the beer 

Also, for those in the Philly area, there's a show on Sat 8/14 at Great Plaza at Penn's Landing... I'm not familiar with the venue, but it's outdoors, unseated, and general admission.  All tickets are $39.50, with NO FEES THRU JUNE.  Mule's last newsletter mentioned 4 shows that qualify for Live Nation's "No Fees In June" promotion (7/16 in Raleigh NC, 7/18 in Charlotte NC, 8/06 in Boston MA, and 8/20 in Indianapolis IN), but they missed this one.

By the way, speaking of the Loudoun Summer Music Fest, THE MACHINE will be playing there THIS SATURDAY 6/12, with the Led Zep tribute ZOSO opening.  These two bands are doing the same thing the night before that too, FRIDAY 6/11, at Celebrate Virginia Live in Fredericksburg.  Both shows are only $12.50 in advance or $15 day of show.  I only mention it because I know we have numerous forum members in that general area and it's a pretty good deal... don't mean to hijack the Gov't Mule thread or anything... carry on...

I'm supposed to be seeing Santana & Winwood at Bethel Woods that night, otherwise I'd definitely be there.  Now granted, this is an invite from a friend whose concert plans are always subject to change and often do, but I know as of a few days ago we were still on.  If that changes, I'll be highly disappointed, but at least I'd have a free Mule show to take its place!  I really wish the two shows didn't conflict... I'd love to do them both.

Saw the Mule in Boston last Friday.  Awesome as usual but the show was a little more mellow than some, at least for the first set.  Here are some pictures (not my best - too far away):

And what was for me the highlight of the evening - Warren doing John Lennon's Working Class Hero.  The emotion is just incredible (makes up for the fact that it isn't a very good quality video).

How does Danny Lewis play organ and piano at the same time?

"Seated" show - no wiggling up front and as ususal the 6ft 8inch football player (and his girlfriend with the poofy hair) were sitting/standing right in front of me!  And that stupid stack of speakers that Brian hides behind was so in the way of watching Matt!

Mulennium is great - my brother and sister-in-law were at that show (he wore his t-shirt from that show to this one - the original is much better than the repro they are selling now).

I guess Mule is limiting their touring next year.  I think the Jamaica trip in January sounds like a good idea - in 2012!

Tom Petty tomorrow.
