Sunday Cinema | Govt Mule & Jackie Greene Cover Neil Young

On Friday night, Gov’t Mule and special guest Jackie Greene teamed up for a memorable tribute to Neil Young at the Taft Theatre in Cinncinati, Ohio. Last night, Mule and Greene offered 20 Neil Young covers they had performed the night before as part of the second Mule-O-Ween 2014 Extravagaza at the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin.

For this week’s Sunday Cinema, we’ve compiled the best available fan-shot videos of Mule & Jackie’s “Young Mule” performances.

Jackie Greene stepped into the spotlight to lead the ensemble through a tender rendition of “Old Man” that saw the multi-instrumentalist play banjo on the cover:

Greene brought his banjo back out for a stirring version of “Comes A Time” that was sung by Warren Haynes:

Warren handled vocals on “Heart Of Gold,” which featured Jackie on harmonica, acoustic guitar and backing vocals:

One of the more rocking songs of Young Mule was a sizzling take on the Crazy Horse gem “Fuckin’ Up”:
