Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule played the not quite sold out Beacon Theatre on a very rainy New Year’s Eve in New York City. Mr. Haynes was just recently in town for the Steve Earle benefit concert and he seems to make the rounds in the New York area frequently; the man is always working and we thank him for that. Gov’t Mule was in top form with three sets of music, balloons and lots of cover tunes including “Casey Jones” at midnight and my favorite Bob Seger song “Beautiful Loser”. Warren Haynes can play anything, everything and with anyone and his guitar virtuosity was on full display as we barreled through to another year of rock and roll in 2019. This show was a great way to end 2018 and propel us forward. Coincidently, the Chinese just landed a space craft on the Dark Side of the Mule; go figure.

The End of the Line

Rock on!
