Tim Carbone Guests With Govt Mule & John Scofield

The long-awaited Sco-Mule Tour featuring Gov’t Mule and jazz guitarist John Scofield continued last night at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsberg, Pennsylvania. Mule and Scofield were joined by special guest Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth on fiddle for the evening’s encore.

Gov’t Mule started off Saturday’s concert with a string of songs by themselves including “Soulshine,” “Banks Of The Deep End” and a cover of Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade Of Pale.” Scofield emerged for a jam on the Grateful Dead’s “The Other One” that came out of “Fallen Down.” The guitarist stuck around to end the set on renditions of The JB’s “Doin’ It To Death,” his own “Jeep On 35” and The Allman Brothers Band’s “Kind Of Bird.”

A four-song second set featured Scofield on the Mule original “Blind Man In The Dark,” Frank Zappa’s “Trouble Every Day” and his own “Hottentot,” before Warren Haynes and Co. brought the stanza to a close with the Gov’t Mule classic “Thorazine Shuffle.” For the encore, Gov’t Mule, John Scofield and Tim Carbone teamed up for a near-20 minute excursion through “Afro-Blue.” Sco-Mule Tour continues tonight in Huntington, New York.
