SolarGarlic Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 11.17.04 MaCewan Hall - Calgary, Alberta SET 1: Bad Man Walking About To Rage Bad Little Doggie Mother Earth Larger Than Life Maybe I'm A Leo Wine & Blood Rocking Horse Thorazine Shuffle SET 2: Fallen Down > The Other One Jam > Fallen Down Reprise Slackjaw Jezebel Banks Of The Deep End Mule > What Is Hip > Mule Drums I'm A Ram 30 Days In The Hole ENCORE: Lola, Leave Your Light On Are you freakin' kidding me?? Mule in Calgary?? Yep, it happened....LARGE! First set started off slowly and had a few sound issues that had to get ironed out. Rocking Horse and Thorazine ended the first set PERFECTLY. Up until those songs they seemed to really be feeling things out and once they realized that Calgary likes it RAWK they amped it up and kept that going through the second set. The entire second set was just rediculous!! The jamming was so hard and intense I could hardly believe it...total rock and roll package. Huge double bass drum action layered with Warren just SHREDDING. For a while I watched Hess and Louis double teaming Warren, pushing for this disco kinda funky thing but Pudgy is a stuborn man. He held them off and got his way once again. The drum solo in the second was awesome and I notice from past setlists they have been doing it with some regularity...I heard some dudes behind me saying "wow, ive never been to a concert like this before!! Maybe a sign of things to come? " His buddy just shook his head in amazment. I also heard some younger fellas saying how Warren was like a Jeff Beck or Steve Vai for their generation (18 year olds that is)...to the utter astonishment of a forty something musicaholic brought up on the sounds of said guitar legends Anyhow, the show made my face melt and I look forward to hearing it again!!

SolarGarlic Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Oh, and for what its worth, Deisel Dog's version of "I'm a Ram" is still my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Who does the original "I'm A Ram"? Been trying to track it down via google but all I get are links to Rancid lyrics. Glad you had a great show. The Mule rules!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I believe the Rev. Al Green does the original " I'm A Ram ".Another great version is by Roy Buchanan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Indeed, the Rev. Al does the original. Another awesome version is on the second Big Sugar record, Five Hundred Pounds. Totally raunchy, rootsy, bluesy.That is a fu©king sick setlist. The Mule in Toronto was awesome too, but that looks like a better list. We were also treated to Fallen Down > Other One Jam > FD and it was sick. I am so in love with the Mule, I hardly have words to describe. I am also loving the new record; Wine and Blood is a hidden gem on the record, in my opinion. We didn't hear it in Toronto though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple foot Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I was more than impressed with last night. My head is still buzzin from stanind next to the speakers. I've never listened to much mule before but last night turned me on big time. Great show. Warren tore it up for sure and that drum solo was tits. absolute tits. i lost my voice from trying to scream over the PA. Awesome, i'd see them again in a second.

NewRider Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 fu©k!!! How could they waste a perfectly good "30 Days" on Calgary?!?! About how many people were there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple foot Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 no more than 1500 if a thousand. they played the ballroom at the u of c and i can't see it holding any more than that. didn't have to wait for a beer all night and walked right up front whenever i pleased. we got spoiled for sure.
