Special multi-colored LP in gatefold sleeve! Volume 3 of Gov’t Mule – celebrating 25 years as a band with Bring On The Music – Live at The Capitol Theatre.<\/p>\n
Twenty-five years\u2026. By the time you hear the performances from these two shows, Gov\u2019t Mule will have celebrated 25 years as a band — something we never could have imagined. It\u2019s no easy task keeping a band together for 25 years. You don\u2019t get to do that without having built, nurtured, depended on, tested, damaged, and rebuilt important relationships. In fact, with any band that\u2019s stayed around that long, it\u2019s all about relationships. When we made the decision to document where the band is currently (musically speaking), it immediately occurred to us that this would be, among other things, a celebration of a lot of those relationships — starting with the one between the four of us.
\nThe title, Bring On The Music, is obviously taken from the song of the same name that deals not only with loss and the passing of time, but also with our relationship with our audience as well. The same applies to \u201cTraveling Tune,\u201d which opens and closes the main program of the film. Without our audience, there would be no chance or reason for us to be around 25 years later.
\nIt was also obvious that we wanted to film and record at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, which is one of our favorite venues. Since its re-opening in 2012, myself and Gov\u2019t Mule (together and separately) have played there many times and have had many magical shows there.
\nMusic\u2026. The thing that\u2019s helped us, individually and collectively, get through the inevitable hard times. The thing that\u2019s driven every decision we\u2019ve made as a band since our inception in 1994. The thing that\u2019s ever-elusive but worth chasing for 25 years (and beyond), and that we\u2019re all lucky to have as such a big part of our lives. The thing that\u2019s connected all of us, everyone aforementioned, including the audience, and continues to grow like \u2014 and along with \u2014 the \u201ccircle\u201d that\u2019s been here since long before any of us and will be here long after we\u2019re gone that will hopefully inspire and influence musicians, bands, and artists for the future the way we were all inspired and influenced by what came before.
\nSo, bring it on! Everything\u2019s gonna be all right.<\/p>\n
Thank you all,
