H/T:

Gov’t Mule kicked off a run of tour dates out west last night in Lake Tahoe. Warren and the boys didn’t show any signs of rust as they busted out two sets of classic Mule tunes with kick ass covers of Allman Brothers, Parliament, Jimi Hendrix and more.In the second set, Warren asked if Lake Tahoe was ready to go way back. The unmistakable bass line of “Lay Your Burden Down” emerged. The hard-blues rocker gave way to a funky intro to Howlin’ Wolf’s “Smokestack Lightning” before settling into the blues standard. Warren’s slide guitar is such a treat to watch and listen to. After Smokestack, Mule reprises “Lay Your Burden Down.”If this setlist is a sign of things to come for Mule in 2017, we are in for a treat!Thanks to btragal for the footage.
