JimmieWannaB Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Just picked up Gov't Mule's Deepest End. The two CD and DVD package covers their 5 hour May 2003 concert in New Orleans in its entirety. Like Deep End Vol 1 & 2, it's a parade of some of the best bassists in the industry. I haven't watched the entire DVD yet but was blown away by Bernie Worrell's B3 playing on one cut. (Sco-Mule or Lay Of The Sunflower. I forget which.) I've never seen anyone play the way he does. While some caress a Hammond, he spanks the bitch. It looked like he was literally spanking the keys through much of the number. You could almost look at the cut as a lesson in B3 funk playing. I have to check the track list, but I'm hoping he's on more cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP3 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Bernie is the shit! Check him out with "Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains" from the Bonnaroo 2002 DVD. The band - Les Claypool Buckethead Bernie Worrell Brain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmieWannaB Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Finished watching the DVD. Great stuff but nothing with Bernie Worrell like what I saw on Sco-Mule. If you're a Mule fan, this package is a steal at $22. One thing on the DVD had me grabbing the box for the credits. Gov't Mule's new keyboardist's look made me think I was seeing Byron/steadyb. Same shades and goofy baseball cap. Same look but no match. Their keyboardist's name is Danny Louis, not Byron Gaither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daBowsa Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 When I saw Mule in Providence, Warren and Danny were trading licks - Danny playing his D6 through one of his Line PODs. Holy schmoly that was hot - I really had to pay close attention to see who was playing what, he really have Warren a run for his money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmieWannaB Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 When I saw Mule in Providence, Warren and Danny were trading licks I wish they'd come West for a show. All the current tour dates are in the Northeast and South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I'll be fortunate enough to catch 3 Mule shows this month. Once up in Boulder, and a couple here in Denver. I think Danny Louis is a great keyboardist...BUT I've also seen 'em with Chuck Leavell a couple times, and he's simply the BEST!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I I mjrn Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Originally posted by TinderArts: Bernie is the shit! Nah,T-Arts, BW swims through the shit, gliding like an eel throught the seaweed. Of course, if one wants to really check him out, his solo CDs & the classic PFunk stuff shines, well, like a "Flashlight". The way he mixes those classical (& I mean "straight" classical) touches with funk is truly unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
