What a night I am sure all had...I was there for the Deepest End Gig, what, 5 years ago now. That memory still makes me buzz.....

That's right, just throw a little salt into my wounds. Just kidding. Sounds great. I've yet to catch Papa Mali, but I've got some buds who are HUGE fans.

So what did you guys do this past weekend? If it wasn't seeing Gov't Mule and Friends in New Orleans you did the wrong thing. But we here at MuleTracks have your collective backs. Today we bring you the EPIC, AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, MIND-BLOWING shows from 5.02 and 5.03 in New Orleans.
To buy both shows at once, which lets be honest, you're doing anyway, click here. A few statistics about the two shows for you: 49 total tracks, 422:18 combined running time, 32 guests...you get the idea? These were the last two days of the Mighty High Spring Tour, and the Mule laid all they had left down in New Orleans.
