Gov't Mule - John The Revelator

[@josephtillman6264]

Govt. Mule tops my list of TRUE MUSIC. Warren is the last of the era of Southern Rock. Yet, continues to plow NEW GROUND

[@zozepp8993]

Now u get it lol

[@jamesbroadway2136]

Warren is the real deal in my book of singers!! He just keeps on giving!

[@flanman137]

Never forget that the roots of rock & roll is gospel music from the civil war era.

[@jamesmorrow9592]

Gospel and blues were very different. They do have a similar sound. But you can hear in many blues that the parents sis not want them to play blues keep playing gospel. BB King is one off the top of my head.

[@norhythm100]

Wow, that's very insightful, never thought about it like you did... I wanted to attack you... my ignorance has been taught a lesson... Thank you

[@johndaugherty4127]

Goes back a mite further than that.

[@williamhoeweler2343]

Wow never new Warren had such a powerful voice ,john the revelator is awesome so love them horns

[@tonylocke1214]

Just magnificent. What a beautiful performance.

[@stevetady5332]

Magnificent. Love. Pure. Deep. Sweet and Soulful. Thank you Warren and those amazing horns.

[@TinkersOath]

Love this song thank you gentlemen for your work.

[@DanielinLaTuna]

Warren really captures the spirits of Blind Willie Johnson & Son House. A "lowdown shaking chill". Indeed! Terrifically done, awesome...

[@Trippinovermylaces]

Awesome cover of a GREAT.! The horns, sax, so amazing sounding here. Its like hearing Blind Willie sing along.

[@sabinemurphy]

Love the instrumentals on this, perfect groove & interpretation.

[@JeffMadre]

I have the DVD/CD set of this concert and it's simply amazing.

[@bbwineland]

***** What is the date of the concert? Many thanks in advance.

[@JeffMadre]

May 3, 2003. You can read about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deepest_End,_Live_in_Concert

[@alabama_dawg7396]

I agree I wish all songs were on the DVD. What an amazing concert.

[@Bullcutter]

Wow, amazing! You bring honour and glory to the King!

[@scarletfire7828]

Thank you Rene for this amazing video. One of my favorite songs...{{;~}} Hats off to Gov't Mule. Keep Rocking

[@faolan1686]

I may be an atheist to my core, but if there is a devine, it lives in the blues.

[@christianknapp1111]

This Kicks ass. Flavor and Talent, pure love of music.

[@barryrandall8925]

Blind Willie was an amazing blues man. Died horribly and dirt poor while others made money off his name, what a sad loss to the blues world.

[@droolingfangirl]

Have you listened to Son House's version?

[@jjg1962]

Possibly the best version of this great song

[@diegoq8417]

J G Steve Vai's version is better

[@jjg1962]

@@diegoq8417 No. It's a blues call and response and Vrai's version misses that feel.

[@williamhoeweler2343]

Wow this is awesome stuff I play this daily and sing along with Warren I start every day with this song

[@williamhoeweler2343]

This John the revelator with the dirty dozen brass band is frickin awesome stuff ,I so love this video

[@williamhoeweler2343]

Love them horns ,that trumpet player has heart man I love that trumpet

[@charlesatty]

An old heathen can listen to the great Son House sing this and can signify with the best of them...actually the ghost came on me & I was speaking in tongues. This version & a bottle of 101 wild Turkey & I see the world to come.

[@questionmark5463]

Music that is played wirh so much positivity is extremely powerful. Enough to change minds.

[@EliGol2926]

fantastic rendition 😃

[@KevinAhernmusic]

Man oh man! That was mesmerizing!

[@frankwall5177]

The blues music has its roots in the old black musicians from the south. Tennessee comes to mind. Buddy Guy talks about it

[@williamJENKINS-i7x]

That's true! And actually, the blues gets its roots from all the way back to the early days of slavery.

[@JohnLyne-x1s]

That is good music. I always wonder why that anyone could say that it isn't. I'm a John. John the Revelator , fearless.

[@lovesallweneed]

Love this version.

[@noahchasinguitar5831]

Crazy how Son House played this in probably a small hotel room in 1920 something and now it’s being played in front of a stadium audience

[@nigeljohnson4880]

In love with this song.

[@tisfortexas1]

This song kicks my ass everytime I hear it!

[@cbrue1896]

Fantastic version of this song!

[@NmzERiN]

[@danielvanness6936]

Incredibly great!! Wow

[@johndaugherty4127]

Govt Mule used to play Louisville a lot and I never knew Warren Haynes was in the band. Dang. Hope I can still catch them.

[@elkepluntke3024]

what a great performance

[@eightapeach2861]

The Reverend Blind Willie Johnson (1897-1945) is the author of this wonderful song, not Son House, not Depeche Mode(please....), not Robt. Johnson, not Blind Willie McTell, not Warren Haynes.

[@QuanYin71]

That's about right.

[@Pandolin11]

It's actually just a gospel song that's been passed down generation to generation, and has been adopted by the blues by way of Blind Willie Johnson.

[@mmcfee1]

eighta peach Does it really matter who wrote it?

[@redneckschest]

eighta peach glad to see! somebody that know the truth! may the reverend be in peace! so many people use this song for different purposes than that what it was wrote for! God bless you!

[@jayteebee2041]

Right, who said otherwise? Actually I always thought it was Son House but it is nice to know the true author.

[@roycelabor4339]

Amazing!!!!

[@billdaycoxnet]

Absolutely Awesome!!!

[@bearhouse34]

This is awesome. Music at its finest.

[@williamhoeweler2343]

Absolutely beautiful ,notice the smile on warrens face at the end ,that smile can only come from knowing that this was pure Magic

[@greichenbach]

Oh HELL yeah, what a great combination!

[@sabinemurphy]

LOVE IT, great job!

The Man

[@WordsPerMinute]

Nobody was worthy to open the book sealed with The 7 Seals. So John began to weep. Then God consoles John The Revelator that Jesus is worthy to open them. Scrolls were sealed with wax and stamped for the person important enough to read the message inside. (Julian Assange was not alive yet!) 1. Deception (rides white horse) 2. War (rides black horse) 3. Famine (rides red horse) 4. Death (rides gray horse) 5. Persecution 6. Cosmic signs 7. Silence

[@anthonycampos8057]

Legend has it, that once upon a time, long ago in the town of Charming, there lived the most dangerous and most handsome of outlaws. Word is that his intelligence surpassed the most brutal of his enemies. He was said to have bedded many women, but only one in particular was most special to him and had his heart. He was a fierce defender of his brothers and loved his children most of all. They said he had a heart of gold and lost it. Others say he found it. His name was Jackson Teller

[@jimmymacnj]

good stuff......

[@rastagrammarian]

Outstanding version. But go back to Son House's seminal version.

[@rag2458]

[@russshives5024]

ROCK n ROLL DADDY-O ! ✌

[@myhawaiiactivities]

I can't see what difference it makes... Who 'wrote' it... What it says, is what matters, and that it still matters enough for people to argue about! Warren Haynes is fine with me! I don't do religion but spiritual is universal... In my opinion. Just another generation... I'm just glad that we can still hear songs that originated... Where? That it is still around is enough for me and I can't think of a better person to sing it! Not that anything I think matters... Think I'll listen to The Mystic. Gov't Mule gives me way more goosebumps than Van Morrison! It sounds like a song that has been around as long as this one? I mean no disrespect to Van Morrison! I am 56 and heard the song, and liked it... But! These guys... Actually, I mean their guitars... Made me 'think' I "FELT" what it was about. Didn't think once of who wrote it, or even words... It is what you feel from it.

[@annhendrickson5223]

Rene, very fine. 🌸

[@TheGuitarver]

Pretty sure he's using open tuning in this one. He usually doesn't do that with slide. Cool.

[@jayteebee2041]

right he usually plays slide in standard which is what I have always done because I only have 2 les pauls and my ESP and open tunings can be restrictive to me.

[@AnthonyBurrito1313]

standard

[@Apartekarate]

came here from Steve Vai's version, which is somewhat different. Both versions has mojo, I think. This is really great!

[@BoStone]

Since this is the Day Of All Saints here's an appropriate soundtrack for the occasion #bo_favs

[@valeriedangelo7795]

noah loved to sing this song

[@danielosullivan3110]

🙏

[@jazzmans]

Depeche Mode is covering this. it's by afaik, blind willie johnson, and who knows before that.

[@steveg1185]

No, It's a Blind Willie Johnson cover - and specifically, Son House who wrote the version that all the modern covers usually cover. It is a traditional gospel blues call and response song. It has been called "one of the most powerful songs in all of pre-war acoustic music ... [which] has been hugely influential to blues performers".

[@papahyle]

Mule Rules! Love Warren Haynes!

[@dapperdan9478]
