On Saturday night, I heard the Lips' excellent version of War Pigs during their sound check, while I was waiting in line for Demetri Martin and Flight of the Conchords.
But on my way back to the tent later that night, I also heard "Since I Been Lovin' You" by Zeppelin, as well as more Sabbath in the form of "Sweet Leaf." Both of these were great covers. Who played them? Don't tell me I was drunk and it was the radio!
As your attorney I advise you to drive at top speed and it'll be a Goddamn miracle if we get there before you turn into some kind of wild animal. Are you ready for that? Checking into a Las Vegas hotel under a phony name with the intent to commit capital fraud with a head full of acid? I certainly hope so...
Sweet Leaf is pretty reminiscent of War Pigs, so I doubt you were imagining things (your name is amazing, by the way).
Well, if Gov't Mule did Since I've Been Lovin You, they're probably the ones who did Sweet Leaf. It sounded like it came from the same spot on the farm. I had fun serenading my best friend, and probably neighboring campers, with my (drunken) renditions of Yoshimi, Since I've Been Lovin' You, Sweet Leaf, and Do You Realize. They were all played pretty close to each other, as I remember (obviously by different bands...).
Speaking of Lips, that's the only thing I regret about my time on the farm--the late nights. In hindsight, I should have taken a midday nap at some point (though I don't know when that could possibly have been, I never stopped doing stuff!) so that I could catch DJ Shadow and the Lips, especially. It just didn't seem important at the time...when I'm drowsy, nothing seems important.
So can anyone confirm that some Zeppelin and some Sabbath were on Gov't Mule's setlist?
