Love the music they are making

After a couple of years listening to Gov't Mule, I came to grips with the fact that live albums are the meat and bread of the bands catalogue. They release these quality live releases so frequently that it's really quite hard to avoid them. What's great about these albums is that they usually have different set lists, lots of improvisations and plenty of their own musical themes through out. Some will be more mellow, others will be bluesier, jazzier and others will rock harder. It makes the whole experience more interesting and exactly why I didn't hesitate to pick up the new release, Bring On The Music - Live at The Capitol Theatre 2.Bring On The Music - Live at The Capitol Theatre 2 is a double live album recorded on April 27th and 28th, 2018. The record was mixed by Geordie Johnson and mastered by Greg Clalbi of Sterling Sound. The 5.1 mix was handled by Ryan Smith, also of Sterling Sound. The album features a great list of songs from the unique opener Hammer & Nails, the laid back jam, Thorazine Shuffle, the classic Blind Man in the Dark as well as other more well known songs like, Revolution Come Revolution Go. It's a good sounding heavy hitting set with a lot of dynamics and style contrasts. The production has been handled very well with the band sounding very powerful and raw in sound. The mastering thankfully isn't too loud and is one of Gov't Mule's better sounding live albums.If you're in any way doubting the bands performance from these shows, don't. Gov't Mule do what they do best and do it with excellent precision and expert musicianship. Every beat and groove is solid, every melody is beautiful and every note has a point, even if it was completely improvised on the spot. Technically speaking, it brings absolutely nothing new to the table, especially if you have many of Gov't Mule's previous live albums. But that isn't what we look for in these kind of albums. We want consistency and professionalism, you get those qualities in droves here.My only real gripe with Bring On The Music - Live at The Capitol Theatre 2 is the simple fact that the packaging isn't very good. The record comes with two CDs and two DVDs. Because of this, I was expecting to see a fat boy case when it arrived in the post. Unfortunately this was not the case. Instead of coming in one of those grotesque but practical monstrosities, the album is packaged in one of those annoyingly tight cardboard sleeves. It feels like you're going to rip them no matter how gentle you are. This is quite literally the only complaint I have from owning this record. It's otherwise a fantastic live album and a product any fan of the band would want. I also recommend this for fans of '70s blues rock. It's very much in the same vein as guys like Hendrix, Rory Gallagher and The Allman Brothers Band (for good reason). You just can't go wrong, in my opinion.
