Over the weekend, Gov’t Mule, The Avett Brothers, and The Magpie Salute spent three nights together in Wantagh, NY; Holmdel, NJ; and Mansfield, MA. Each night, the stage opened with a performance from the Rich Robinson and Marc Ford-led post-Black Crowes project, The Magpie Salute. Afterwards, The Avett Brothers played the first headlining slot before Gov’t Mule treated fans to one of their acclaimed “Dark Side of the Mule” tributes to Pink Floyd.

In Gov’t Mule’s more than 2,000-show history, the band has only played a full “Dark Side of the Mule” set previously on two occasions: Halloween 2008 and Mountain Jam 2015. The band also released their 2008 Halloween show—which included 14 Pink Floyd covers—as the live album Dark Side of the Mule in 2014. Nevertheless, this tour—as well as their “Dark Side of the Mule” show at the 2018 Peach Music Festival and the upcoming three-set supershow at Red Rocks Amphitheatre this September, which will see Warren Haynes open the show with a solo set followed by a sets from Gov’t Mule and the only “Dark Side of The Mule” performance west of the Mississippi—will be the most ambitious live tribute to Pink Floyd of their career.

The tour has a six-week break before reconvening in Noblesville, IN; Tinsley Park, IL; and Clarkston, MI in late August. Check out photos from Thursday night’s Northwell Health at Jones Beach show below, courtesy of photographer Eric Gettler.
