So, as you can see, 'Sam will not be on the limited set.  In fact, I
was just about to say that 'Sam hasn't been appearing much in the
setlists for quite a while when they go and play it at the Irving
Plaza gig last night.

It's mean and evil, wicked and nasty...

Cheers,

Paul.

PS: Don't forget the upcoming new Gov't Mule *studio* release, either.
Some songs were left off the latest live set on purpose, so they could
make their official debut on the new studio release.
