“The record you didn’t know you needed is what I am listening to in the other room.”

Faded concert posters line the dark walls. Wisps of incense smoke curl through the golden light. The mood is intimate, analog, and deeply atmospheric with rich sepia and brown tones against near-black shadows. | photorealistic | landscape

Low Spark of High Heeled Boys – Gov’t Mule with Maceo Parker

/

New York's Beacon Theater during a New Years show with falling balloons.

The original Traffic version of this was playing in the waiting area when I went in to get our pizza last night which (of course) made me think of the many times we have seen Gov’t Mule cover this classic over the years.

This phenomenal version comes from the New Years Beacon Run we attended in December 2003 when legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker, who opened the show, popped on to the stage to join them for this transcendent version. Such an amazing moment to witness and experience. I think this is the finest 15 minutes I am likely to spend today.

Sorry for those who subscribe by email for the original with the missing video…
