On Monday evening, Gov't Mule brought their spring tour to Wilmington, NC, for a show at the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, which featured special guest trumpeter Craig Sorrells for a few songs during the latter half of the performance.
After a first set that featured a run of covers—Bob Marley's "Lively Up Yourself" and The Beatles' "She Said, She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows"—Mule returned for a second frame that included two collaborative songs with Sorrells, who leads his own jazz outfit based in South Carolina. The trumpeter emerged for a jam on the Grateful Dead's "The Other One" (featuring lyrics from The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter") and stuck around for "Devil Likes It Slow."
After Mule closed out the second set with a bookend "Traveling Tune" that mirrored the first-set opener, the band offered an encore cover of Little Feat's "Spanish Moon," which saw Sorrells team up with Mule keyboardist Danny Louis (playing trombone) for the iconic horn line.
See the full setlist below, along with fan-shot video of the encore. Gov't Mule continue their tour tomorrow night in St. Petersburg, FL. See their full schedule here.
