Just saw Gov't Mule in Boston

I've seen the mule twice w/ andy hess--the first time as a guest (along w/ jason newstead) on the deep end tour, then last fall as a full time member--they are one cookin' unit--and the voodoo material really comes through great live. I've got tickets for 7/5 in milwaukee for a full day's lineup of oteil (burbridge) & the peacemakers, derek trucks band, gov't mule and the allman brother's band! That's one more than a triathalon!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
You lucky MoFo's... Man Andy Hess has become one of my Fav. bass players. I didn't listen to much of the Mule until latley. Andy just thumps away on Deja Voodoo.
Was he playing his Fender P-Bass?

In an interview he states that he also played his Jazzes as well. Some songs also feature him playing with flats. He is my current favourite
I just saw govt mule at the Hunter Mountain Jamfest and although the music was good, i'm not a fan.
Now Robert Randolph and the Family Band played before them
HOLY SMOKES all of them were great and Danyel played slap, finger, and with a pick!

I see The Mule every time they come through Southern Cal. I've seen them with Hess the last few times in San Diego. He's a great player. Always a great live sound from that SVT and old P Bass, too.

yeah Randolph played with them as well another awsome performance but IMHO i thought Mule was much better.
Hess played his old p and an old tele P maybe like a 50 something( what a tone) and one other bass possibly a jazz but i could really see and what a great sounding SVT rig. As soon as i can afoord roadies i am getting one.
