Well it's been three years for these shows to happen. And with two new releases I can't wait to hear the new stuff live. I'm in for the 30th, front row of the balcony. Sure hope Jimmy Vivino will be there.
Who's goin' ??
I'm hoping to make the New Year's Eve show. Waiting for results of an echocardiogram which may get in the way.
I'll be 77 in December and the show is suppose to be my birthday gift to myself:)
Won't make the show tonight. Too much hassle getting to NYC from upstate NY.
Nice setlist last night in Philly, Jimmy Vivino in the house 🏡 😎 👍
@mulemewarren I didn't fly up either. Old 77 year old knees and cold weather plus I'm edgy about Manhattan. Lots of threats of violence but FBI/NYPD/Mayor say there isn't anything from a major terror group and NYPD is out and ready. But remember, after George Floyd, NYPD was defunded 1 billion with all the plain clothes cops laid off. Some on city council plus the then mayor were removing Columbus Circle and the 1892 statue to Chris but the Italians blew a fuse and the mayor and city backed off. Now there is a push to put a bronze tablet in Columbus Circle explaining why Chris was crap but leave the statue and the rest there so the Italians don't freak out again.
The push to excise Chris from the name Washington, D. C., ( hell I saw two women on CNN then who said George Washington had to go too..George and Chris out, new name for nations capital ), Columbia River, British Columbia, Columbus, Ohio ( the city removed Chris's statue at City Hall but backed off on changing name of city) and Columbia Records. Just kidding about the records. That is called Sony now and they don't make records now:) has subsided now.
Anyway Delta is going to let me use my ticket later and I gave my Mule ticket to a friend's granddaughter who lives in Hell's Kitchen.
I'm a Mule fan. First saw them in 1994 when it was Woody, Matt and that other guy. What is his name? 
Good show last night and no one set the building on fire!!
Wholly crap! 30 song "Black & Blue" second set from last night.
What a great setlist last night.
I will be buying this download from Muletracks if they offer it

@robertdee agreed! I will have to save my $$$ and go next year if the Mule does it again
I went 12/30. Show was fantastic. Kevin has reenergized the band IMHO.
NYC is lovely. full of people, streets are safer than they've bene in decades. had a nice 30 block walk after the show to the place I was staying on 103/Broadway. Also recently had a few lovely days in San Francisco, which is fantastic outside of its downtown, abandoned by many companies. These cities are part of the pride in America. Don't believe the people who are trying to paint a hellscape picture. I think that fake patriotism is profoundly unAmerican!
