bouche Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Who's going? I'm starting to get excited for this. Got my shit together and I'm hoping to hear some of the new stuff off of Mighty High. I heard a sweet cover of "The Shape I'm In" on Sirius a couple of weeks ago and I think Steph said that it is on that release which is due out soon.

bradm Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'll be there. Rob.Debob called the roll earlier this week. (I also still have a ticket for Mule in Burlington, VT the next night if anyone wants it.)bouche, what are your getting-there / getting-back plans? (My current plan is to take the bus both ways, and I have a hotel booked in Montreal.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I haven't really decided. I know I'm staying at the Hyatt Regency (thanks Priceline) but my timeline is in the air. I just booked my room today and fully decided to go.I was on the fence, mainly because we're seeing Ryan Adams in Montreal next week but how often does the Mule come anywhere NEAR Ottawa?I've also managed to get a photo pass and Freak By Night has promised a show review! (there, you're stuck Dave!) So there's more incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'll be there!! I would've gone to see them anyway, even if I wasn't already in Montreal for Genesis. So this is a real treat.Can someone make sure they only start at around 11pm and play till say, 3am?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Does anybody have any recommendations as to Gov't Mule CDs to pick up on Friday? I'm thinking about the Roseland 1995 one, but the new reggae/dub one isn't out yet (I think), so what else should I pick up? (I also may get a t-shirt, so don't want to get more than one or two CD titles.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 The Traffic cover (Emtpy Pages) was the Mule highlight for me. They also did a mean She Said, She Said > Tomorrow Never Knows jam.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave-O Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Yes, I did say that.Due to a lack of time today, I'm just going to cut-n-paste my email to Booche about the Fredericton Mule show last night. There was a HUGE crowd out to see them at the Harvest Jazz & Blues Fest main stage. Enjoy in Mtl tonight guys........I have to be honest, through the first 4 songs I thought I really wasn't going to enjoy the show. Standard blues and southern rock inspired songs, solid but unspectacular playing. Comment seldom heard at a Mule show – I thought it could have been louder.Then Thorazine Shuffle kicked things up a notch, and the next song (a reggae-ish number, "only the darkness to keep you warm", Time To Confess?) really killed. And I mean really killed, it completely turned the show around for me. They followed with a soulful ballad (piss break for me) and then an awesome She Said, She Said > Tomorrow Never Knows jam where they never actually launched into the song proper. Super cool.Empty Pages (Traffic cover) was the highlight for me. A perfectly chosen cover for that band, the Wurlitzer and organ parts were bang on. About 90 minutes in they did Drums in lieu of a set break. And I thought it was awful, complete garbage, a bar band level drum solo from a guy whom I think otherwise is a monster drummer.After the drum break, they did 3 or 4 more songs and really jammed them out – a lot more than the "first set". Soulshine encore. Great show overall. Totally worth the 1:40 drive there and back in one night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 i've never understood the supposed "tomorrow never knows" thing. the versions i've heard sound nothing like "tomorrow never knows" by the beatles. maybe i'm missing something.hey brad, your video should have gone in the youtube forum methinks.last time i saw the mule (calgary maybe 2 years ago) the drum solo was stupid, in a bad way. who wants to hear a shitty drum solo? not me.

dave-O Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Well for what it's worth, I certainly knew it was Tomorrow Never Knows last night.The drum solo was incredibly long and shitty though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Wicked show last night. I'll write a full review later and Bouche will post his awesome photos. The obligatory Beatles cover last night was "Love Me Do". The obligatory Zeppelin cover was "Living Loving Maid". And the obligatory Big Sugar cover was "I'm a Ram".

bagochips Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 The drum solo provided a great opportunity to give my ear drums a much needed break by leaving the room to down a few quick rum & cokes at the bar. Otherwise, wicked show. I'm glad I went, last minute decision that it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
