\/\/illy Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 On May 31, 2003, Trey Anastasio played the second of two sold-out shows at San Francisco's Warfield Theatre. On that night, Carlos Santana dropped by to say hello to Trey, ended up joining the ten-piece band on stage halfway through the first set, and continued to play with the group for the remainder of the night. The results were electric, suffused with spontaneous energy and exuberant interplay between the two guitarists. As fate would have it, this once-in-a-lifetime performance was documented by a small video crew who were experimenting with a new production technique. The show's blistering second set, plus a bonus track of "The Way I Feel" from the show's first set will be released on DVD on April 26. All net proceeds from the DVD will be split evenly between The Waterwheel Foundation and the Milagro Foundation, a non-profit founded by Deborah and Carlos Santana that serves underrepresented and underprivileged children in the areas of arts, health and education around the world. The DVD is available exclusively from Phish Dry Goods and from the online Santana Store. Ordering is now available from Phish Dry Goods and will be available from Santana's web site beginning early next week. Orders will be shipped beginning the last week of April. The track list is as follows: 1. Mr. Completely 2. John the Revelator 3. Night Speaks to a Woman 4. Caravan Bonus track: The Way I Feel The DVD also features a photo gallery by photographer Jay Blakesberg and the MX Switch "wide-shot" option. Approximate Running Time: 84 minutes. The DVD is formatted for all regions in NTSC video.

Guest Low Roller Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 This looks sick as shit. The video quality better be good... The White Stripes do a killer version of John The Revelator, so I'm really curious to hear a Trey Band version of that song. I have a certain inkling that the two versions will be somewhat different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Whose song is Revelator originally? I believe it is a traditional tune. I'm not sure who popularized it, but when I first heard the Gov't Mule version on "Dose" , I was already familiar with it - I just couldn't say specifically where I had originally heard it.

Jaimoe Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Whose song is Revelator originally? It's a traditional plantation blues holler, although it was made famous by Son House. Son's version is still the best, although I like every version I've heard, from Gov't Mule to The White Stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I can answer that for you Hamilton, the Blues Brothers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 It is a traditional song and Son House's version is the best. If Robert Johnson was the King of the Delta Blues, Son House is known as the Father of the Delta Blues. Which is the title of House's complete 1965 sessions released on Columbia/Legacy in 1992. Nearly all great blues guitarists have been influenced by Son House who died in 1988. Eric Clapton performed another traditional tune popularized by House called "Motherless Children" on Clapton's "461 Ocean Blvd". As Brian mentioned before Gov't Mule released "John The Revelator" on "Dose". The Mule also recorded and perform a Son House original called "Grinnin' In Your Face". "Grinnin'" ended up as the opening track on Gov't Mule's debut record. The Derek Trucks Band on their second record "Out of The Madness" has two Son House originals "Preachin' Blues" and "Death Letter", the latter had Warren Haynes on lead vocals and guitar. If you love delta blues no collection isn't complete with out Eddie "Son" House, Jr.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I seem to recall that the version of "John The Revelator" that was used in the Blues Brothers movie was performed by John Lee Hooker ... kicked much ass, IMSMR. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
