[@thecarboon]

THAT'S what i call funky!!

[@TheBrakedown]

one of the best videos on youtube. yeah i said it.

[@juliehardy463]

I was at this show in 2003 after Jazz Fest. They played for like 8 hours straight, people were taking naps in their seats listening to the best show ever! So many musical guests. Warren Haynes asking the crowd if they’re still awake. Most were, some weren’t. Surprise Bucket List experience for sure.

[@shazaad2]

that tboneeee!

[@SilkRottenApple]

The tuba solo is missing in this video. Groove is amaising!

[@sunshinegrl2]

They kick so hard on this track.. its impossible to sit the fuck still when they start jamming!

[@enricfusetgarcia8792]

Ésto es de puta madre

[@jasmaxwell77]

my respect for this band just went up 10 fold.

[@shadeoforange]

Music was born thousands of years ago to become these 10 minutes. Straight up.

[@chrisdgoldie]

@Gradey3 I think it's Abts, but regardless of what his name is, he is one of my favorite drummers. Gov't Mule is really one of the best bands out there. Very underrated.

[@samwilson182]

As a Bari player myself. I'm respect this Player so much. The groove and tone is insane. Props 👏

[@breel79]

Currently 2019 and still watching this. Gold standard my friends.

[@pjm780]

Damn, Bernie Worrell is everywhere. The man is a genius.

[@TheMisticWinds]

Paul Jackson is a master

[@johnnycharco]

As soon as it was done I hit play again. Holy crap! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@sandpointcinema7557]

Good gracious, that is some kind of mean cover.

[@adeavers7]

This is too much funk! I'm only a white guy, I can't handle it all!

[@afroboy389]

Gov't Mule does some great covers!! Chameleon is a jazz standard and Gov't Mule nailed it!!

[@valseuzes]

The bassplayer of Herbie Hancock. The real ! Great song !

[@BAMeynig]

this makes me wanna switch to bari soooo bad. that bari player is legit.

[@dherrer1]

out of this world....complete madness!!!!! every single player is absolutely tight and fuckin insane...i get crazy when i hear these guys...i love it!

[@jonwoodard2222]

A thousand likes out of 178,000 views? What the f$$k is wrong with people? Enough world class talent here to start a country. I guess if you know, you know. On second thought I kinda like being one of the cool kids who gets it. Cheers!

[@borderline4]

Awsome,Who's sick Idea was this?More of the same please.With a bit of the old Les Paul as well !

[@unknownkingdom]

The bass player is off the chain.

[@frankwall5177]

Top shelf Mule music ❤❤❤ it’s like the best drug you just can’t get enough. Lovin those endorphins 😅

[@TheDellaniOakes]

LOVE the bass player!

[@SammSwann]

jesus christ in a waffle, this is like winning a fight against andre the giant

[@darwenus]

It ought to be illegal for there to be anything that makes me this happy without a prescription. This is one of my three or four favorite single Mule performances ever. That whole night was amazing, so glad it was preserved on DVD and CD.

[@NewOr2012]

I love this video. Dirty Dozen Brass Band with Herbie Hancokc wow.!!!! Roger Lewis has been our customer for many years. New Orleans Music Exchange.This brass band is absolutely phenomenal. People in the music field have to learn more about talented brass instrument . It is so essential to teach people about our cultural music in this country specially New Orleans. I fully support this band, this video and all the brass instument musicians.Eventually i will make more comments about this band!!

[@Antestor]

[@dirtyrottensinnermusic3212]

Bernie Worrell!

[@756saxplayer]

This is THE SHIT

[@dherrer1]

i sat next to him on a plane from atlanta to minneapolis and we talked about music and trombone playin..(i play b bone) and i had no idea who he was...i had never heard of him..he gave me tips and we talked about gigs and shit....few days later i saw him on youtube...fuckin insane!! i thought he was just another bone player like me....crazy shit....

[@JGPorcello]

Herbie should be proud.

[@afroboy389]

I totally hear you. I would also call it a funk standard. It may be on the R&B standard list. I have already checked the jazz standard list, and Chameleon is on it.

[@Volcanistry]

lol @ thinking the horn section is bad, they're some truely incredible musicians, not having an alto isn't a reason for not liking the dirty dozen

[@INUAGAIN]

what a treat, I completely enjoyed EVERY musician's contribution and I have to thank a great dude for bring GREAT musicians the forefront. Then he let them do THEIR thing without taking it and making it his. Thank You Warren, 'show & tell' was great...

[@grumo81]

You forgot to put George Porter Jr. and his enormous groove in the 'guests' section of the video description! ;)

[@InspiretoVictory]

Hah! I love @ 5:38 what Warren is doing with the wah pedal and those 2 guys look over like "Damn!"

[@FunkyBigSam]

Damn!!!!!! This was a crazy nite!!!!!! Thank God for KZbin!!!!!,,lol

[@baltostar1]

That is a freakin' amazing story ... surprised I'm the first one to answer you. McCoy was funkin' it up for 84 mins ???? Wow.

[@deadheadmays]

@tophev07 lmao at holy fucking shitballs. that truly made my heart happy.. much like this song.

[@alcgda]

finally!!! I'm sorry to say but maynard's band is nothing compared to this one

[@nathaliegiliberto4082]

Avec Bernie Worrell au clavier et Mats Abts aux drums en plus ! quelle bonne musique !

[@fekaliofil]

4 all the bassists: try playing solos on this one, i strongly recommend you that !

[@mlrhode]

@sitarlo and laissezfukd Yeah, sorry.. I commented on the wrong one..

[@MrSntna]

Anyone think it kinda looses the groove a bit around 4:30 ?

[@lwowen]

We call this "Walking Around The House" music... go ahead, try it out

[@mace5258]

Thanks for the post. Any idea of the date and venue for this show?

[@drummermajor]

This is probably the first time I've ever enjoyed Chameleon

[@moraigna66]

epic!: video lasts 9:47 and it's not even all the song

[@iremon]

Freekin' Amazing! What's Paul Jackson got on his fingers?

[@bcc118]

@tophev07 there is no "probably"... for me anyway

[@deadheadmays]

..the horn section is terrible? whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

[@JohnJ0906]

1st time played - I'm not sure it was even rehearsed

[@shazaad2]

@JimmyFightingBack Word mate....word!

[@akbb1234567890]

[@wrestlerfan99]

[@maidoodesu]

crazy nice ! です.

[@akbb1234567890]

LOOK AT BIG SAM ON THE TROMBONE DANCIN

[@ikonjoe]

Terrible performance by bass and drums; lost place three times; looking at each other for a reference point, never got back to the main groove of the song; horns = awesome

[@stevewaldman1322]

Are you guys criticizing these cats stoned or just stupid? It's a fucking jam you morons! Nobody's looking at a chart or trying to find a conductor. These are hardcore, badass players who couldn't care less what some wannabe thinks about them. The old saying applies: Those can, do. Those who can't do teach. Those who can't teach, criticize. Just tap your feet and enjoy the music.

[@AMMstudios]

I think the horn section is terrible. Could definitely use an alto sax. Love the bari though
