A few other snippets and things I left out about last night's Mule show. Blind Man In the Dark was another way high point. Warren tore it up and the lyrics are even more poignant today. Warren's playing was totally on and totaly fresh. Gone were some of those signature licks that may have become too familiar. Replaced by just some brilliant improvisation. Also he was killing the slide all night long. One time he was singing and mirroring the melody with his slide. Then he kept singing the same line and played harmony with it on the slide. It was also fun to watch as he tap danced over the various buttons on his pedalboard as he dialed up tone after tone after killer tone. Another cool moment was after Warren plays an incendiary slide solo, he is holding a chord down and has his slide still on his finger. Brian Farmer reaches over and pulls the slide off freeing Warren to play regular and never missing a beat. One last thing Warren's friend Mike Barnes shows up and really aquits himself well. The guy can really play. Matching Warren note for note during Sco-Mule. Not an easy tune to jam on I'd imagine. I don't know if Barnes is in any other band, but it would be worth checking out if he were. Okay SPDB I can't change the way you feel about Duane nor would I want to,but................Warren is the undisputed man now. Peace.
