This is prime playlist material!

[@robtama7]

Even the pros have audio issues from time to time. Getting through it is an art itself.

[@holgerlorenz5965]

People, this is not the version of tower of power, but here are great musicians they do his own thing of this tune!

[@tomsmith1847]

Great tune.Always relevant.

[@garyguitar]

Marcus kills it...all great players. The drummer....whoa.

[@Esbenmad]

Damn, Marcus is an awesome guitarplayer!

[@JohnDoe-pq8yw]

St. Marcus!!! Anyway, I think he's thinking, hey man, where's my Super Reverb!!! That Soldano is a great amp but it's not a Super Reverb cranked to 10!!!!

[@Jay91Byrd]

I highly recommend seeing that man and his band live. They will melt your brain every.single.time.

[@lallijack8557]

Great music for love ! Thanks

[@Hairyblues]

It's the engine people, it all starts with the engine, and hell what a engine this is!!

[@busterphenajo]

These guys have great energy. Bassist and slide, wow...

[@jimmcmonagle6906]

Tower of power whoa!

[@ricklarner9263]

What a surprise!

[@patrickvandevelde172]

Talking Eclectic ... This Man is 🤗✌️

[@jonathansmith3742]

This is definitely Hip! Nobody does this tune, TOP would be proud.

[@alanjamesheidemann3823]

That is Hip! So great to feel the live group energy produced here.

[@nestoralvarez8035]

la banda esta que explota!!!!

[@johnpatricklayden]

I saw tower of power at toads place in the 90s, I remember it was New Year’s Eve and I have a story about that night and the cockblocker.

[@sunchild9481]

Turn it up!!!!!!!! This is a nice jam session, but it definitely needs a sound boost.

[@joemorrow8411]

Can't pick a jam apart really,,, you get your highs and lows but all in all it was fun,,,Its Jam Time👍👍🇺🇸

[@billjnicoll5599]

If you ever get a chance and like Jam Bands like the Greatful Dead or the Alman Brothers I recommend you check out Government Mule

[@ThatMichaelTGuy]

Boom. Just Like That.

[@jean2166]

OH LA LA Markus

[@TheBhannah]

horn bands are very hip !

[@gutbucketbluesman4664]

tower of power. what is hip??? fuggin greeeat

[@mcsean11]

HIP is THIS!!! Is what it is..

[@jamescurran9002]

First,I LOVE this setup. Perfect mix . One thing, why didn't the Allman Bros use horns?

[@axelschultz3260]

Kommt wie Blod sweat And tears

[@rockpapaman]

Matt has the "what the fuck are you making me do Warren" look on his face.

[@jeffjforUKgocats]

@ 6:30 Warren over there juken & jiving & hippin

[@Rhino1277HotRails]

Bad ass

[@ElDuderino502]

How many instruments does Danny play? That guy is ridiculously talented.

[@AmyMaxy]

Very coolWayGood

[@krisscanlon4051]

Nice TOP cover

[@jef9711]

Great jam, but then again its Gov't Mule. From a technical perspective the recording isn't that great but its a live cut and perhaps they maybe didn't have a separate mix for recording; or were not able to make a multi-track master. Bassist is a monster player. Simply awesome, he's the star of this one, IME. Anybody know Is he part of Gov't Mule or from the Marcus King band?

[@joseluisestopinaojeda9536]

jef His name is Jorgen Carlsson and is Gov't Mule's bassist. A BEAST!!! He joined the band for the album "By a Thread",you can enjoy his first show with GM by viewing/listening to "Dark Side of the Mule" recording.

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

agreed - jorgen's great

[@audiogurulyndon]

RAW! Just the music is supposed to be heared. Would have been really awesome if the Audio volume output was a little bit higher...you just got to raise the volume of your surround sound system...

[@terrielynn591]

Note the cool bass

[@LorinTone]

Get a clue, folks who are obviously clueless. They are doing a sound check live in front of a stadium audience, they are just jamming, but they pick a song like this to warm up with? Three things become obvious. 1. They can all play. 2. They can all play well enough that they don't care about your opinion. 3. They're having fun jamming with a large audience watching. Put any of the detractors of this performance in front of an audience, they would not stand a god damn chance.

[@bowtechspeedfreak]

Good guy in the booth that hard to find?

[@audiogurulyndon]

just imagine Thrombone shorty on the Horns!?!

[@stuartglynn3436]

Yes

[@DelbertDiggins]

Very Good .. maybee brilliant. or even the best?

[@bogthing1]

What mountain is this on, and why is Lenny Pickett being restrained outside the main gate?

[@Doubledave05]

How does a brass band warm up?

[@Doubledave05]

I guess they just start playing

[@bobbydtv1]

woody is so missed right here

[@troyalcorn1184]

I learned the hip is connected to the waist and and and or you can just enjoy the music and ignore me :)

[@userer4579]

Where is the bass? This song is about that bass line.

[@warrenmorphis4208]

Gotta give 'em props for even trying this - there's a reason bands don't tackle T O P - it's like trying to cover Steely Dan - just too damn hard to duplicate. Admirable job tho - at least they didn't completely butcher it like some have done...

[@lindatheobald7789]

ohio mule is diggin' on MKB & Warren together........

[@BusMaster007X]

Oh, yeah. Missing two horns. Make 'em BELIEVE...

[@gimmeagig]

Not in that Oakland pocket. That stuff is not just about playing a lot of 16th notes. The feel is totally missing.No grease..

[@troyalcorn1184]

I was hoping to find out what is hip It doesn't happen here? LOL I am glad I have my own opinion and don't need :)

[@ryanhallwrites]

This is different, I'll give them that. I'm not sure I'm feeling it. I think the world of Warren Haynes and don't know that much about Mule to really give an opinion. I listen to this through the ears of a massive TOP fan. Are they the TOP horns? No. Is the bass player Rocco? No, but he's playing his ass off and I'd love to see what kind of technique he's using.

[@wardscott2302]

One good thing about being a guitarist,You don't have to clean the spit out your instrument.

[@ozzyspite]

This video shows no love to the bass player, man! What's up with that? The bass drives this song.

[@joannestazio4495]

Ben Osborn the drummer and keys are keepin' some real good time.🎼

[@kenransom560]

Matt Abts is Gov't Mules drummer .

[@voxac30withstrat]

Bass is often one of the most overlooked in videos. Pity because the Bass and Drums are the engine room without them the song wont drop into the groove. All the rest of the instruments just layer over the top. My biggest complaint is the idiots who say what camera films what instrument. They nearly always ignore or simply overlook at least a couple of members of the band. I seriously wonder if they arent even musos themselves. Unfortunately this song sounds like they dont really know whats going on so they just jam. I dont know.

[@PC160]

Rocco Prestia!

[@lindatheobald7789]

ohio mule sez.........get it....

[@javtah]

I know the answer, the drummer is hip AF

[@bigfanshope9415]

Wow what a psych , all the negativity in the comments. I thought the whole thing was great. PS it's grove music not soul... geeez

[@dennisbrown4524]

The start was dope. Vocals lack soul. I've dug on you guys since the Allman Brothers days. You just miss something . in this arrangement. Palms Airport. Need to learn to snap your fingers get with it.

[@mercedesbentley5205]

they dont need warren they need marcus king!!!!!

[@andreas-eichenauer]

I ADORE Mule, they're just MASTERS, but this is not funny at all...

[@jimicoltrane]

Sorry the guys don't know the song. Want hear this done right check out T of P

[@remybramble7042]

Marcus has all the licks down, but now he needs to get some soul. Those explosive solo's are good, but the placement and the learning of when to go full blast or just a tasty short solo might be more appropriate. Then again, it could just new material...

[@physiciansassist1]

Bassist even struggling with a pic🙃

[@wade3812]

No bass!!! Love this band,but the bass needs to be cranked. Rocco Prestia owned this tune. The band follows his bassline.

[@tangentz0007]

wow what a mess. it happens.

[@SKarthikeyan75]

Its a great version, but it sorely lacks groove and just not funk. Its too open and loose. The Rocco-Garibaldi rhythm section is inimitable.

[@TheCaptbob1]

Wow, this is really BAD! They are trying to find a way to end it but cant!

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

FLAME AWAY....I LIKE THIS KID MARCUS KING, oops sry for the caps, i love tower of power, the studio version of this song, i love horns, old school mule - saw woody era mule 60+ times 95-00, but i just can't stand this version - it's awful, i love all the ingredients, i just hate the dish i guess. btw, hess sucked and jorgen is a guy woody would have really loved. this is disjointed garbage. sorry.

[@kevincloud9425]

Fantastic musicians, but it all kinda sounds like a bunch of stoned people jamming.

[@steveross8326]

I love this band.....I love this tune.....but not together......horrible!!!

[@Cigarsnguitars]

Love Warren Haynes and Mule but this is the worst attempt at Hip ever. Just play some solos and put it to bed.

[@tMatt5M]

Horns are the ugliest sounding instruments ever.

[@MusiciansDiscountCenterMiami]

These horns sound out of tune or just not synchronized. Something's off about them...

[@MarsLonsen]

Gen. Layabout god man, calm down. And no thats not ture at all🙈

[@marktele8061]

blow it out yerass
