Opening act(s): The Lee Boys.....very talented but not a good fit for an opening act for Gov't Mule. Blackberry Smoke would be a perfect opening act. @

Warren Haynes is the best guitarist I have ever seen!! I never thought sounds that I heard were even possible with an electric guitar. The band is so tight! Bass, keyboards, and drums! Music wise take Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, The Black Crowes and Lynyrd Skynyrd, mix them all up and the outcome would be Gov't Mule.

As is their custom, Gov't Mule showed their mettle when they played to an enthusiastic crowd at the Newport Yachting Center, Newport, RI, on Thursday, June 6, 2013. They never disappoint, and I've personally attended many of their shows. Warren Haynes proved once again that he's a premier guitarist of the highest order, leading the band through many favorites and busting out with a few surprise covers. A highlight for my son and son-in-law, attending their first Mule show, was the excellent cover of Alice Cooper's "Is It My Body". I particularly enjoyed the "St. Stephen Jam" ably covering the classic Grateful Dead standard. If you are a music fan and ever have the opportunity, I strongly urge you to get out to a Gov't Mule show, you will without a doubt have a great time. Cheers...

Warren was unbelievable. Right on the money. Played a good variety and the sound was great. The venue was well set up. Food and a nice draft selection with tables and a big outside area. We had a great time. Would definitely recommend and return.

The Mule proves once again that Musical Intensity can be FUN!
The reason that Gov't Mule for this audience member is so enjoyable is that the band is having as much or more fun as there faithful. The Love of all the great artists that have performed before the Mule comes shining through. Whether they are performing a classic song by one of their musical heroes’ or an original Gov't Mule tune, the musical moment is a true joy.
The Ives Center is a beautiful setting to enjoy nature as well as music.

First time at this venue and it rules. It has a great small festival vibe, totally manageable refreshments and bathrooms, and the weather was perfect. I had inside but uncovered seats that were fantastic, but would have been perfectly happy with lawn seats - very close. Sound was phenomenal. Bill Evans sat in on sax, and they played two long sets plus an encore that totaled almost 3 hours. Killer show all around!

Warren Haynes and friends kicked the door in at the Ives center this past Sunday, laying down some of the tightest grooves in the business. The weather cooperated and the show was awesome. 2 full sets and some special guests. All you'd expect from Mule.

Good show by Mule! Had been over a year since I'd seen them, and they did not disappoint. I do miss Allen Woody, but the new bass player is growing on me. Very uncrowded show. Maybe only 2/3 full? Drink prices are way too much. Sound can be muddy up front.

Seats: We had SEC 3 , Row - FF, Start Seat 5, End Seat 8. We were at the seats only briefly. It was a hot and muggy night. A bit too warm inside. There was a nice cool breeze off the water at the tables in the back. Also, the sound was more crisp and clear at the back. Down inside sound was muddy.

Government Mule closed out their tour in style on May 3rd at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans. Starting with a sublime version of Are you experienced, they ripped through over two hours of magical playing and brought in local guests for their own version of JazzFest. Superb sound and a great venue made it all a night to remember. Thanks guys
