Gov't Mule with special guest John Scofield perform moe's "Opium," on March 12, 2015 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston, MA. Brought to you by Less Than Face Productions.
When I was young, a guitar teacher told me tone doesn't come from a guitar or an amp, it comes from your fingers. After watching this video, some forty years later, I finally get it. FANTASTIC!
I finally got to see John Scofield in concert at MIM in Phoenix last month. Outstanding. And its awesome he can hold his own on the stage with a premier blues/rock jam band. I'm becoming a big fan of Warren Haynes now.
@@phishscuits For some reason I never really got the "Trey" thing, and I have tried. PLease point me to some interesting guitar work from him where he is not: playing Pentatonic, trying to sound like Garcia, or using excessive wah, in all honesty I'd like to like him.
@@marKism69 i think for me it has to do a lot with just the peak of his solos and his exploration with phish. i will try to think of my fav work of his on youtube
@@phishscuits No doubt. Phish is a great band as a whole and an OUTSTANDING live band. Probably comparing Sco to Trey is a bit of apples/oranges too as Trey does not play in the Jazz world.
Wow, this is the way to go folks. If it is Bluesrock you have to play, this is as good as it gets. Fantastic. Love and peace to all of you and especially John Scofield! Be assured, we listen.:-)
Srry gingervytis, you must have been in a bad mood when you listened to this :) Scofield never plays the same thing twice, makes 0 mistakes, is able to shift mood effortlessly and even adds in a few be-boppy licks just to keep it spicy. Also, he pulled off a convincing flat 9 at about 8:30. And notice how he really embraces the space between the notes at the beginning. There's a lot here you apparently didn't hear... but I'll forgive you :)
Those who are picking apart this performance are missing may great aspects. Sco ROCKS the intro solo. The amp fails and he's completely out of the mix while Haynes kicks out the first couple verses. And then seamlessly Sco drops right in for the solo section.
Daaamn, sorry for my ignorance, but the only other time that ive seen Warren haynes, was in a DMB concert playing Cortez de Killer, and even tho ive never heard his work, the only two times ive seen him in random shows, he blew my mind. Time to dive into warren haynes material.... waste no time
Cool, one of my favorite moe tunes and I have recently been listening to the Sco-Mule album so I looked up some vids...had no idea govt mule even covered moe tunes
Como me dijo un amigo una vez: - " Noooo!! John Scofield es la música misma", Sacándome!!! las palabras de la boca en el instante, en que intetaba explicarle lo que significo para mi!, escuchar por primera vez, su musica".
Been loving the mules since the beginning. Thank you gentlemen for bringing back the Greats to share your stage.Some of us are getting reacquaintedand lots of young folks
scofield has nothing to hide. he just came out in public and murdered it in daylight and everyone saw it. Then, he's like WTF?....I'm just playing a blues gig...and thanks for the video youtube :-)...I'll have my road tech bookmark this one on my PC just in case I get bored...
Warren NEVER ever let me DOWN. He wouldn't have had a tour if it wasn't up to Par. FukN Bad Ass like InstantChinaHeaven washin away All Into the FoG tied to the tracks. spoonful of LuV, no Looking back! Flowers N Fog set me Freeree
Word. He _underplays_ most of the time, which is super-rare. I put one of his solos from _Blue_Matter_ on repeat just because he left me hanging so bad with a solo that started to smolder and then ended. That's hard to do; he has great restraint and musical vision.
oh yes I am hearing him with the low end locked but maybe because it is harder to hear a bass guitarist through computer and cell speakers where most listen but I like listening through a good set of headphones.
+Jay Tee Bee I've got my computer hooked up through my receiver and Bose speakers. Bose makes a great pair for laptops also, I have a set of those too. I use my computers for 99% of my music......need great speakers.
WOW! Sco utterly rockin' a blues with the Mule. Any idea what the story with Schofield's amp change was? What amps were those? I love the sound of that Dumble-esue thang he was plugged into at first. Anywhoo, Beautiful!
Noel Holden pretty sure that's a Category 5 Camille head. He's been using Sundowns for 30 years, but Sco could plug into a JC-120 and you'd know it was the drunken master of jazz guitar.
At my age I have to wonder at some of the comments immediately rating players as best, better, worse, mediocre etc as if it is some sort of fucking contest. Further, it makes me wonder if people who think like that have any genuine connection to music. Maybe instead get down into the vibe and forget all the bullshit if you intend to ever play what could remotely be describe as music or musical. If you don't understand don't bother.
john is doing a real slowhand, like players who throw following scales away. and have care for notes. marty friedman is excellent fast a bit but very delibirate soloing and bending notes. and following chrord progrresion to solo over. george lynch too.
Check out Billy Cobham's "Stratus" from the same show complete with rippin' Sco solo!

There are very few people that deserve to stand next to John Scofield with a guitar in their hands. Warren Haynes is most of them.
Warren Haynes is a national treasure.
Damn straight!
A master class of guitar playing from John Scofield
watch afew seconds of john and you realize
hes a sick man
sick with the blues.
unreal player. unreal talent
I just listened to Sco's solo 10x in a row.
Amazing, Scofields musicianship is stunning. Got to be one of the most tasteful players around.
Love Scofield for doing a blues rock gig, love Gvt Mule for having him.
Adding to this, I love Less Than Face Productions for consistently putting up great bands and music!
Scofield ruined a perfectly good show. Ugh, just off pitch all over the place.
@@stratolestele7611 clean your ears, open your mind
Hats of to Warren Hayes for inviting Sco up on that stage. Takes a pair to take second solo after an icon like him!

The best and I've been coming back to this video on and off for a few years
Sco really sounds fine in a rock context... mixes perfect with haynes and his crew... Sweet!
Sco is my fave living guitariist atm. Amazing tone, feel, taste, and unafraid of experimentation and dissonance.
he’s def up there for sure.
I think trey is my #1 tho

his painting on a blank space of time is similar to Frank Zappas solos ! Love this guy !
have you heard this guy Pearson that played Duane's SG ? it's on u tube . good grief ! :)
Love the quote from FZ ❤
Scofield 🤩
Scofield is absolutely amazing. Mind completely blown. Superb.
Man, am I loving Scofield! Always love Warren, and this is one fine combo.
Holy Moses! Mr. Scofield is killing it.
Wow, this is the way to go folks. If it is Bluesrock you have to play, this is as good as it gets. Fantastic. Love and peace to all of you and especially John Scofield! Be assured, we listen.:-)
Sir Scofield is in great shape
Absolutly excellent... From France.
Love it. The Mule and Scofield playing moe.!

+Justin Turner What do you call average girl with no chest? Lydia, cuz shes majorly a flat five!
+Justin Turner - congratulations, you figured out a flat 9...
quiz question : what was the flurry of notes BEFORE the flat 9?
answer: FAST

+Jay Bee Mixolydian, Mixo b9 and Minor pent.
Double check, I haven´t checked myself. Just my first impression. By mixo b9 I mean half dim btw.
Every time Scofield plays he tells a Story!
Absolutely top shelf!
sco fits in just by being sco...sco and warren together=heaven
Good to hear and see real music being performed - and people appreciating it in these very strange times we are living through!
Michael Gorman getting stranger by the day
If you guys only knew three years ago what we were up for.
freetimeprojex My thoughts exactly reading this thread... LOL.. it never ends
Knew him only as a jazz-guitarist. But he semms to be also one of greatest rock-guitarist ever! unbeleavable!
Jeez once Scofield got going his playing was bloody awesome!
wow! John Scofield with his killing stile made this song immortal!!!!Oh yeah!!!!! I love it!!!!
Thank you. A real treat. Scofield is a talented genius! Understatement with chops to spare
Mr. Scofield and Govt. Mule go together like peanut butter & Jelly on King's Hawaiian bread...
John is just amazingly expressive. I love listening to his improvisation.
Sco is still one of Top Improvising Masters...Warren is great too.
Two masters at work...down and dirty.... a delight to experience! Thank you
One of best solos I ve heard in a long while
Man ,,,, schofield was good
Very tasteful
Summer ‘96 started listening to Mule and saw Sco a bunch of times playing around Boston area (Central Sq. World Fair).
Get it, John!
Always has had an open mind and great feel.
Stunning, live music! Wow
This is really cool playing. Mule and John Scofield together. Works like hell.
Those who are picking apart this performance are missing may great aspects. Sco ROCKS the intro solo. The amp fails and he's completely out of the mix while Haynes kicks out the first couple verses. And then seamlessly Sco drops right in for the solo section.

I've seen them several times and it was amazing
came back after a year.
more mindblowing than the last time I saw it
Great Video- I really enjoyed watching!
Best wishes and keep up the great work, Max
Scofield goes hardcore blues guitar playing

Bravo! John Scofeild é foda na improvisação!!

Warren rules !!!
Nice plate Sco Mule.
OuuuWooo🔥
scofield top man justine your right he changes the mood all the time hes not one dimensional
ARF SCO ....GLAD 4 TWO LEGENDARY CONCERTS SEEN *
Epic epic epic........
John Scofields playing has genre's but the man imitates no one. Some runs in there I've never heard before, probably won't hear again either.
+Dan G He's a true legend. He's proven he can do anything. Damn, would love to hear what Miles had to say about him.
Did they ever meet?
He played in Miles Band from 1982 till 85 he played in Miles Band and played on his records Star People and Decoy
John just loves to play. He's a virtuoso player, but he's no snob. A regular Joe.
Word. He _underplays_ most of the time, which is super-rare. I put one of his solos from _Blue_Matter_ on repeat just because he left me hanging so bad with a solo that started to smolder and then ended. That's hard to do; he has great restraint and musical vision.
👍
Stunning! Many thanks for sharing. Is this show available on DVD/CD?
John is of course a bluesman too!
Scofield is a god
all the talk about the guitarists....i'm hearin' the bass..holdin it down..yet in flight.
oh yes I am hearing him with the low end locked but maybe because it is harder to hear a bass guitarist through computer and cell speakers where most listen but I like listening through a good set of headphones.
+Jay Tee Bee I've got my computer hooked up through my receiver and Bose speakers. Bose makes a great pair for laptops also, I have a set of those too. I use my computers for 99% of my music......need great speakers.
Like Mike Stern and Scott Henderson, Sco likes rock and blues as much as he likes jazz. It doesn't surprise me he fits in well in this context.
Scomule is a beast
Sean Bell no lie
Check out/buy/find/steal/ whatever you have to do to listen to 'Uberjam' and 'A Go Go' by John Scofield. Thank me later.
WOW! Sco utterly rockin' a blues with the Mule. Any idea what the story with Schofield's amp change was? What amps were those? I love the sound of that Dumble-esue thang he was plugged into at first. Anywhoo, Beautiful!
Noel Holden pretty sure that's a Category 5 Camille head. He's been using Sundowns for 30 years, but Sco could plug into a JC-120 and you'd know it was the drunken master of jazz guitar.
Got no coal, got no steel, Opium,won't jou smile on my brain Flowers and fog you've got me eling no pain

What model of amp is the red one?
Sco gives 0 F’s. That’s y he’s great.
Sco War ! Woooow
Sco-Mule rules
I closed my eyes and heard frank zappa.
A guitarra do tio bugou na hora H?
😉
john is doing a real slowhand, like players who throw following scales away. and have care for notes. marty friedman is excellent fast a bit but very delibirate soloing and bending notes. and following chrord progrresion to solo over. george lynch too.
