Premiere: View clip from Warren Haynes and co’s tribute DVD Dark Side Of The Mule

Gov’t Mule have premiered their cover of Pink Floyd classic Time with TeamRock.

It’s taken from the band’s tribute DVD Dark Side Of The Mule, a three-hour performance recorded in Boston in 2008.

It’s the first of a run of archive titles that leader Warren Haynes hopes will present the chance to re-evaluate his band’s work. He says: “Each song on our 2013 album Shout! has its own personality – it sounds like Gov’t Mule but doesn’t sound like anything we’d ever done.

“These archive releases further that concept. They allow us to highlight some of our influences as well as how far we’ve come since the first album.”

Dark Side Of The Mule was released via Mascot Label Group on December 8. It’s available on deluxe 3CD/DVD and standard CD. A double-vinyl edition follows on January 13.
