Gov't Mule Scofield

This 2 DVD set features complete shows from the last night of their Deja Voodoo tour on Oct. 15, 2004 at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston and their first night of the High & mighty tour at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on December 9, 2006. These 2 shows bridge the rebirth of the band and represent the new era of the band as a quartet. They perform classic tracks and soon-to-be-classics from their acclaimed 2006 release High & Mighty. The DVDs include over 6 hours of performance, interviews, and backstage footage and special lyrics features…

Gov't Mule's sound is a throwback to the '70s heyday of Southern rock, and their style is peppered with references to the best of the Allmans, with a liberal dose of early ZZ Top thrown in for good measure. Their second album shows no signs of a sophomore slump, featuring playing and songwriting every bit as strong as their debut outing. Warren Haynes' guitar work, if anything, is even more adventurous this time around, particularly effective on the opener "Blind Man in the Dark," "Thelonius Beck," and "Birth of the Mule."

Hard rock quartet Gov't Mule emerged at the height of the jam band scene's emergence into the mainstream during the mid-'90s. They have played thousands of shows and been through many changes during that time – some of them excruciatingly painful. The death of founding bassist Allen Woody in 2000 was so profound a loss that they didn't replace him with any one bassist for three years. Keyboardist Danny Louis came aboard in 2002; a year later, bassist Andy Hess was hired on and remained for five more years. Since 2008, Jorgen Carlsson has held down the chair. Bring on the Music: Live at the Capitol Theatre not only acknowledges the band's anniversary but pays homage to their greatest asset: fans.
