Search - Gov't Mule :: Live at Roseland Ballroom

I was there, and I can't tell the difference

"This was supposed to be the opening act for Blues Traveler's 1995-6 New Year's concert, but Gov't Mule stole the show with Traveler's set acting more as an afterthought (no offense Popper, you guys were great, too). It is the only Mule album I own, and to this day, I haven't found reasons to buy anything else in their repetoire. Some bands are better live, and this is a fine example of that."

Brutal / Wonderful

"This is my favorite Mule album. Hard to find, don't know where I got it. Best sound of all the Mule albums, sharply defined in a medium sized concert space. The bass oh the bass!



Anyway, the music is also wonderful. My favorite is the first cut, "Trane". John McLaughlin fans take note: in the middle of Trane, Warren quotes Eternity's Breath from the Mahavishnu Orchestra's Visions of the Emerald Beyond NOTE FOR NOTE.



It really is overwhelming when that breaks out.



Explosive playing, no dross.



Buy this album!

The Mule Delivers!

"Live at Roseland Ballroom is yet another excellent example of the musical prowess of Gov't Mule. As usual, Warren, Allen, and Matt each bring their best to the table, which leads to one amazing CD. The tracks flow incredibly as the band continues to outdo itself as the album goes on. A loose, jammy feel permeates the CD and results in an extremely enjoyable listening experience. Like one of the other reviewers said, if you can actually find the damn thing, buy it!!! And check out more Gov't Mule!"
