This is rock trio at it's best. Woody's been gone almost 20 years. Warren and Matt are spectacular but it hasn't been the same since he passed. RIP indeed.
Yeah, he was unbelievable. Great sound with that Gibson and SVT too. I saw them around 1996-97, great player and sound, he played through a bunch of SVT's at an outside concert.
Yes he was. The Mule kinda softened up after he passed. It had to be difficult for Warren and Matt to pick up and play right away. They're still my favorite band.
The first time I heard this song! Where's my mule! Cross between The Allman Brother and The Guess Who! The sound and the voice! Is really awsome! Just listen to him. It's sounds like Burtan Cummings and Greg Allman! It took me a while but I hit it right on the head!
Allen Woody was a badass! He's actually playing this with a pick! Sickest bassline this side of "What is Hip." This song cooks with rocket fuel live! Obviously you can't stretch out like they do live with this on TV, but this pretty hot!
@@mollybell5779 Why? He sounded great with a pick, one of the biggest mistake I made when I was a kid was throwing away the pick because people said "real" bass players don't use picks, that's crap, I had to relearn later in life, it's a different sound and another technique in your arsenal. Allen always played with a pick, so did Berry Oakley, so did a lot of great players.
@@G8GT364CI I have a bassist friend who was the opposite... he was struggling to play with a pick and actually spent time trying to get better at playing with a pick. Having said that, it's idiotic to claim real bassists don't use a pick. How about being able to use both? Flea used a pick on Parallel Universe for example--songs like that are not impossible with fingers but just kills your muscles. I suppose some flamenco player can also play Miserlou with fingers.... but why?
Used to see these guys live at this time in Lynaughs Pub in Lexington Ky and around the area. Small places. They were unreal in those days man. Mind blowing rock n roll for real.
Allen Woody! Man he was good. Saw Gov't Mule play several shows in Macon, GA back in the mid to late 90's. Killer live band. They were tight. 3 excellent musicians!
Seems like they edited it at 3:31. Warren's hand was on the fret at 3:31 and suddenly by his side at 3:32. Saw them live back then, the Rush of the south!
Woody was the heart and soul of this band, purleybaker is right about Warren and matt, but Rick n roll was robbed of the greatest bass player in music since Paul McCartney in my opinion, R.I.P woody, I got to see him live at bogarts during the life before insanity tour i was 15 and it was amazing I could go on for hours talking about MULE!!
Allen Woody was a bad ass bass player, wasn't he? I love the present day Gov't Mule, they are easily my favorite band, but same as with many bands, the original lineup is the best!
+What's for afters? Obviously Mr. Haynes is awesome....but for us Bassists, Allen Woody was what most of us want to be.....A SOLID, IN THE POCKET GROOVE MONSTER. So funny how poser, wanna be 'artists need autotune, clic tracs to sound even remotely like the fake shit they produce in studio. AND they have no shame in knowing they couldn't make a song or track without an engineer making them something they're clearly not....TALENTED. I'll take a horrible voiced Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix Jerry Garcia over a hundred Kenye West or Jessica Simpsons. The kicker is people know these posers are fake as shit, yet still buy their garbage.
It’s been almost 24 years since Allen Woody passed. RIP.. For those of you with streaming service, Amazon prime music specifically, check out The Georgia Bootleg Box. 65 songs, 6.5 hours of in your face goodness. Taped in Atlanta and Athens in 1996. “Music for your ass” indeed.
I watched this live that night. I remembered yhan Allen was playing a Les Paul bass. What I missed that night was the wrong note and them looking at each other at 2:09. Oops.
It looks like Mule actually played this song several more minutes (as they normally would), but there appears to be two splices in the second half of the song, at 3:31 and 3:50.
Unreal, got to see the mule and a young kenny Wayne Shepard band open for Skynyrd in johnson city tn in arouy96-97. Huge storm on the way home to gate city va
Say you try But you just can't help your self want to feel special Man want to make you feel like everybody else Take away your freedom Strip away your pride Say you know you weren't born With the blue blood son So take your place in line Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my mule? Where's my mule? I say trust me But you say it's too much bother Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down Make you want to kill your brother So go on and bust me For what's in my mason jar Yeah, I owes my soul To the company store How I'm doing so far? Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my mule? Where's my mule? Where's my mule? Where's my forty acres Where's my dream Mr Emancipator Live this way Might as well meet my maker Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule?
Woody's ability to hold the bottom line with Matt and take a stroll with Warren at the same time was insane. RIP Woody.
That is probably one of the BEST comments I have ever read on youtube !!!!!!!!!!!
RIght on!!
TH-cam post of the year Woody was the best!
Woody was a special soul indeed. Hangin' out with him and the band is something I'll cherish forever 💟♾️

Yeah there's no replacing Allen Woody
Agree, and RIP. Why these guys mess with H is beyond me.
I haven't seen them live since he passed. man he was special. the way he prowled the stage. made the band for me.
Yup
@@mr.bluzhound2875 Man - he was hanging with Marc Ford that night, dont think that was normal for Woody (thats my hope)
Allen Woody was so freaking good....holy shit
This is why I love a 3 piece, you can hear just how tight the crazy bastard was.
Yeah, he was unbelievable. Great sound with that Gibson and SVT too. I saw them around 1996-97, great player and sound, he played through a bunch of SVT's at an outside concert.
2:54 Allen's bass is the star of the solo section.
Woody was from another planet. I still have his Gibson Heavy pick that he gave me in 1998.
Greatest Southern Rock Jam "POWER TRIO OF ALL TIMES!!! PERIOD. . 🤔.🎸🎶🎵🎶🤟😎
❤
Allen Woody owns this version. Damn what an amazing person, and bassist.
Allen Woody was one incredible bassist......
Was a better mandolin player. ....
Yes he was. The Mule kinda softened up after he passed. It had to be difficult for Warren and Matt to pick up and play right away. They're still my favorite band.
They were tighter than bark to a tree. This is chemistry at it's finest. RIP Allen Woody

I thought he might be. Great bass line, and somehow got a good tone with it. God I wish I coulda heard him play it without it, though. What a player.

Swivel, to left, take it right...swivel! Young Mr. HAYNES! Dude, owns the bottom wit dat Bass! Interesting drum kit!
Praises...

Woody's great, hands down. Unique style for full-throttle badassery in the land of bass guitar!
Allen Woody! Man he was good. Saw Gov't Mule play several shows in Macon, GA back in the mid to late 90's. Killer live band. They were tight. 3 excellent musicians!
I like it when Conan shakes Warren's hand and says "That was great. When are you coming back."
Seems like they edited it at 3:31. Warren's hand was on the fret at 3:31 and suddenly by his side at 3:32. Saw them live back then, the Rush of the south!
Sad that Bobby Sheehan from Blues Traveler and Allen Woody have both passed! Both amazing bass players from the same era!
One of the best bassists by far.
One of the best fkn songs ever written.
i get inspired every time i hear Allen Woody play..
Now that is some music you totally want to share with you neighbors! Loud and Proud!
My god they make it look so easy. Pure groove wonderful mix Only bassist to come close to filling Woody’s vibe in all the years was George Porter.
George Porter Jr. Was great but Dave Schools fit pretty good too
I got to see Allen Woody with the Allman Brothers Band ...He was an amazing musician!
Woody was the heart and soul of this band, purleybaker is right about Warren and matt, but Rick n roll was robbed of the greatest bass player in music since Paul McCartney in my opinion, R.I.P woody, I got to see him live at bogarts during the life before insanity tour i was 15 and it was amazing
I could go on for hours talking about MULE!!
Love the Woody bass!!!....fantastic touch! plus the 40 acre walk!
JEEZUS CHRIST, what a clean performance! Allen just killing it!
Allen Woody was a bad ass bass player, wasn't he? I love the present day Gov't Mule, they are easily my favorite band, but same as with many bands, the original lineup is the best!
Can't get enough of that bass tone!
thanks for putting this up man

such a great band.. RIP Allen Woody..

A few of us picked up on this .🎸
Don’t think they’re splices, audio is easy to fake but the warrens hands and body are in the same general position before and after the first “splice”
RIP Allen...and long live the Mule!
Super talent! Love everything he plays and sings
Essa foi uma fase sensacional do Govt. O Allen faz muita falta 🥲🥲🥲
Fantastic to see this ...................................
Best three piece ever ! Alan was a freaking beast .
How awesome that trio was
Woody was a beast! RIP bro
Great video! Thanks for posting
You're most welcome! Thank you for posting a note of appreciation :)
I had to pick myself up off the floor LOL The Wood laid some seriously funky bass lines down..RIP.
Got to see allen woody in high school in Johnson City TN with mule kws band and skynyrd. Circa 97
RIP Woody. Nastiest bass player of all time
The only other drummer I've heard lay down a groove like this is Buddy Miles
Right on.
With Hendrix and or Electric Flag ?
@@danh367 Solo records also!
Grew up with Allen. First COMBO! He always, Always wanted this. So glad to know his dreams came true. Danny Crockarell
saw them last night 4-11-15 @ the Peace Center in Greenville,SC
I warped on this album when it first came out😉
Woody was f’ing awesome.
listen to Woody and Matt lock holy shit those two were great together
When seeing these three on concert the problem was which one do I watch? The level of musicianship here was incredible.
That was AWESOME!
Damn I miss Allen Woody!
Unreal, got to see the mule and a young kenny Wayne Shepard band open for Skynyrd in johnson city tn in arouy96-97. Huge storm on the way home to gate city va
Le groupe d'origine , mélange des genres , tip top waouh !!!
Saw them several times at Stephens talkhouse. Rip Allen. Great band.
I've seen/heared them play that song at least 15 times. That is the shortest version ever. 4:19
drummer is killer
Next to the Allman Brothers, this kicker does the job very well.
+Barber Pole The Allmans with Berry Oakley on bass were AMAZING.
Saw mule with bad company and Skynyrd, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. 97
R.I.P. Allen
Brodie told me about that day he's sitting up above twisting the kno bs
Playing non-stop semiquavers like that without scuffing up is very hard.
Only top bassists do it
i love it woody makes it sound jazzy
2022 and still jive At
Woody gave my drummer his bowl of chilie once. So i got that going for me
90's Conan.....great show
Very tight.
They got so good because they played like over 1000 shows all over the USA.
Love this!!!
Say you try
But you just can't help your self
want to feel special
Man want to make you feel like everybody else
Take away your freedom
Strip away your pride
Say you know you weren't born
With the blue blood son
So take your place in line
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
I say trust me
But you say it's too much bother
Yeah, the way the man try to beat you down
Make you want to kill your brother
So go on and bust me
For what's in my mason jar
Yeah, I owes my soul
To the company store
How I'm doing so far?
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
Where's my mule?
Where's my forty acres
Where's my dream
Mr Emancipator
Live this way
Might as well meet my maker
Where's my, my, my, my, my, my mule?
He can take a ride with Warren & still hold the beat with the drummer!
Jesus what a fuckin band.
I remember being disillusioned with my band at the time and saw this and thot, "These guys have set the bar, I'm done."
not too shabby ;)
Hey! Fancy meeting you here!
best .
Woody!!!
Allen Woody was a groover!! ugh
wow
First time for me hearing this. Great music ! Looked up allan woody looking for bands that played on the woody allen show. 😐
What a touch he has anyone know if he plays this in open e or standard
RIP Woody
Bad ASS ... pun intended
Birth of...
Jesus !! So f-ing tight !!
Yeah Woody was a great Bassist
🤟😎 Woody
Allan Woody tearing it up
Allen Woody was a much better bassist then a guitarist !! RIP
@conesy were you digging the shit out of this or what
The song title is 'Mule', not Where's my Mule...
Really great.. Too bad it was TV show appearance, which cut it short... Allen Woody was as good as they get on bass
Woody
Rest in peace, big man
I saw them live in 95 and 96. What a bass master
what bass is allen playing ??
Hey, Warren. You probably don't remember me, but I'm Jane's son and Bear's step-son. Just saying hello.
sick
sometimes when warren plays if you close your eyes yoy can still hear duane.
Dude, Where’s My Mule?
The Real Mule
