Drawbar Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 For those who made it out to the Mule show last night in Toronto, all I have to say is wow. That was amazing. It was truly an awesome experience to witness Warren up close and in such a classy venue. That was my first time seeing Mule and it definately won't be the last. The 'No Quarter' and "The Other One' tease was awesome. It's a good thing they came to town because without an Allman's fix this summer, it would have been a long winter. See everyone on Halloween.

Large Marge Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 It was great, wasn't it? I painfully missed the first set as I smiled stiffly and tried to make casual dinner conversation with the Grandparents… but all that quickly vanished as I entered the Palais to the intoxicating sound of No Quarter washing over like a sweet wave rising up from the lake. Oh, what a night! (what a drum solo!!!) What's the dealio with the keys? (I liked his touque - who's he?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Danny Louis is their permanent keyboard player, he's been with the Mule since 2001 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booche Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I forgot all about Tastes Like Whine. fu©k, that was sweet. Nice to meet you CC, which was made even better when I was in front of you for that Other One jam, and felt a soft slap on my back in acknowledgement of what we were hearing. You know, I think I met you briefly in Slip-Montreal beside Esau? Near the pool tables? Does that make sense? Seriously, I loved that show. Warren has SUCH a strong presence. Its was as if I had forgotten his power with the Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 how about them beer girls that couldn't pour a beer if their life depended on it?

Im going home Donny Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I LOVE the Mule, exspecially live....I highly reccomend earplugs though. They are SO LOUD. Honestly my hearing has never been quite the same after my last Mule,Montreal show...and it's a bit of a drag....just my closer to old lady advice. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Some late thoughts on the Mule... Great show. Really wish I could see these guys more than once a year. One show is not enough to get my fix. I was left feeling that I want more, more, more! A more upbeat and rockin' show than last year's at the Danforth which was dark and heavy. Both were good, just different, although I enjoyed aspects of the Danforth venue more. Lines were shorter at the Palais Royale though. Band seemed tighter as a unit. Last year I felt it was more like the “Warren Show” but now the other players are getting more breathing room and the lineup is coalescing. Song highlights: Birth of the Mule – after two scorching tunes they fall into the jazz groove. I dug this. Fallen Down – a lighter, laid back version that really took off by the second chorus, and then into the Other One jam and back into the outro… good stuff. No Quarter – a sweeping epic Blind Man in the Dark – awesome Danny Louis keyboard work Tastes Like Wine – probably my favourite song of the set, masterful control of mood Lola Leave Your Light On – that riff, the drumming = classic Led Zeppelin! New World Blues – new song for the encore is usually a disappointment but they gave this one a lot of attention and played it beautifully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceWrangler Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 I'm glad to see these positive reviews, as I'm getting my Mule on for Halloween down here in Virginia! I'm fairly new to the area, and it's my first time to the venue, Landmark Theatre a.k.a. The Mosque. It's beautiful on the outside and I hear even better inside - sights and sound. Plus, I got hooked up with 3rd row center!!! I won't complain even if it turns into the Warren Show - that guy has been completely amazing every time I've ever seen him, no matter who he was playing with, IMO.

MuleMomma Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 "Lola Leave Your Light On – that riff, the drumming = classic Led Zeppelin!" Hey ollie - were you referring to it having a Zep-influenced sound? Just curious, 'cause the liner notes in Deja Voodoo say written by Warren Haynes/Andy Hess/Jeff Anders. Took me awhile to recuperate from the high of a seemingly annual Mule show, and the bittersweet afterglow, having a million reflective moments, and knowing that the excitement, anticipation and incredible climax are over for another lengthy period of time. Man, I love that Mule :: As for the quality of the show, compared to the many others I've seen, that one ranked probably in the top 5 for me, but I'm not sure whether it was the compounding factors of setlist, playing, venue, and friends. I absolutely loved it, from the kickass opening notes of 32/20 to the haunting final notes of New World Blues, the Mule have yet to disappoint. As a footnote, having about 5 bartenders for 1130 heavy drinking Muleheads, might have added to the need to drink 2-fisted all night, which might have been partially to blame for me getting much more messed up than usual...so sorry to anyone I might have accidentally tripped over :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ollie - were you referring to it having a Zep-influenced sound? Just curious, 'cause the liner notes in Deja Voodoo say written by Warren Haynes/Andy Hess/Jeff Anders. Yeah, Zep-influenced. The guitar riff sounds like vintage Jimmy Page and the beat like John Bonham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I havent seen all that many MuleMomma, but that show was my favorite. Simply put, it felt 'right' all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 geez, I had the eyes out for MuleMomma all night. However, I didn't see you. I saw the guy with the long hair whose name I forget that came to Ottawa with you a while ago though and he was really putting out the moves.

MuleMomma Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Sorry I missed you bouche, and booche for that matter, but I remember thinking you guys were probably jammed in up close, whereas I was navigating the perimeter all night, remaining particularly close to the back bar (to get the central sound...if ya know what I mean, wink wink nudge nudge ). And if you're referring to the guy that was at MMW with me when I met you at the NAC, he's from Ottawa and for a while I was frequently visiting him and your fine city. Hopefully see you at nero this weekend in TO :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
