bjw Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Hey there any Mule fans, I picked up a copy of Deepest End this weekend (2 disc live + Dvd) - wow. For some reason I have never really given them a good listen and now am kicking myself for skipping them when they were in town last go round. Anyway, I am going to pick up more. Any recommendations as to what my next purchase should be? Thanks!
Dusty Chalk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Paging Postjack and grawk, Paging drs. postjack and grawk, white courtesy telephone please. Oh, and: Deep End, Vols. 1 & 2 would be the logical next step.
grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 If you want more like deepest end, then yes, deep end vol 1 and 2, and wintertime blues. If you want more power, live at roseland and live with a little help from our friends. If you want more jammy, then the more recent stuff. Mule from 00 and before = power trio, think mountain and cream "Deep End" Mule = mule searching for what they were gonna be in the post allen woody era Recent Mule = hippy crap
bjw Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 Thanks for the suggestions! I was looking at muletracks.com and the top show (not sure how it is rated) that you can purchase/dl is a NYE show with a bunch of hendrix and beatles songs (and even a morning dew for good measure). Have you heard that show yet? How is the SQ of those shows? Sometimes I find the shows I have picked up from nugs.net are a little rough around the edges - to be expected since it is a straight board feed without any studio mixing. ...but damn, that NYE show looks like a nice setlist. (not sure what you mean by "jammy hippie crap" exactly either - I assume just longer jams?) Thanks again Grawk and Dusty
postjack Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Hey there any Mule fans, I picked up a copy of Deepest End this weekend (2 disc live + Dvd) - wow. I was there, man. One of the all time great shows I've seen. I think Dose is a spectacular studio effort. I have not even listened to Deja Voodoo or High & Mighty.
grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 What year is the show? I've got a few [blatant self promotion]extremely well recorded[/blatant self promotion] mule shows from the allen woody era I might be able to set you up with... Ok, I just looked at muletracks. I don't know anything significant about recent mule. Stopped being what I was into when they settled on the new lineup. Thanks for the suggestions!

bjw Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 Ahhh... I'd love to get a few shows you taped! b&p or do you have them hosted somewhere that I can grab them online?
grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I'll stick 3 shows from Aug 00 on one of the big file sharing sites and post the link.
grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 (not sure what you mean by "jammy hippie crap" exactly either - I assume just longer jams?) Nope, not longer jams. Crappier jams. Hippy crap, instead of power trio. Compare and contrast deep banana blackout with cream.
bjw Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Posted March 17, 2008 Ah ok... good analogy to put it into perspective.
grawk Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 ok, files are up, I'll PM you the site information. Don't download until after 6pm eastern.
bjw Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Picked up Live At Roseland Ballroom - holy crap. Still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after the first track. wow. Love it. So Live w/ A Little Help is as good as this?

bjw Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Same lineup though? No rotating bassists (like the title suggests) or is it like The Deepest End? I am digging this disc moreso than The Deepest End (though I love both so far).
grawk Posted March 21, 2008 Report Posted March 21, 2008 Lots of guests. Woody is bassist for all of it tho. Deep* End* discs were rotating because Woody OD'd.
bjw Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 ah ok, thanks again grawk! I owe you a beer (or 8 ) I like the trio sound - reminds me of a darker version of cream or something. Love Woody's presence in this Roseland disc. On my second listen already... w00t.

bjw Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Posted March 21, 2008 Yep have them and burned them. I have tomorrow off and am planning on spending some quality time with them Thanks again for those btw. Psyched.
