Some assistants ran into the fray and separated the players in the middle of the fight.Moments later, as the offense huddled, Coach Pr...

Gov’t Mule returns to the ‘Dark Side’ for Boston tour stop

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:51:01 GMT

But you can see it done proud Friday at the Leader Bank Pavilion by Gov’t Mule, whose leader Warren Haynes is both a jam-band icon and a voracious music fan.“My musical taste goes all over the map,” he said this week. “It started with soul music, my earliest influences were James Brown and Otis Redding. But I was lucky to have two older brothers, who were not only music nuts but record collectors as well. The first time I heard Pink Floyd was ‘Dark Side’ in 1973, and I loved it so much that I had to go backward and hear the rest. As with all the music that we choose to be influenced by, it’s timeless.”The first “Dark Side of the Mule” show happened at the Orpheum in Boston: It was Halloween in 2008, and the band honored its annual tradition of a surprise cover set. “We only meant to do it that one time, but there was deman...
