Reply #7: Oh, good, an opening for my Gov't Mule story! [View All]

[VolcanoJen]

Saw them, summer of '98 I think, in Bradenton, Florida. I was on vacation in Siesta Key, saw it in the paper, and had to make the trip.

Probably the fifth time I'd seen them, but the first time in an intimate venue no larger than the local downtown pub. Amazing show, and Woody blew my mind.

After the show, I hung around outside their bus, and finally got a roadie's attention. "I'm here from Cincinnati, and I just want to say hi." He went into the bus, and moments later, Warren came out, smiled, posed for a few photos, and chatted me up for almost a half-hour.

Warmest, sweetest rock-guy ever. And I never got to meet Woody, but I hope he rests sweetly in Bass Heaven. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion of the Gov't Mule version, Peaches! Have you heard the DMB version with Warren, too? It's frankly kick-ass.
