show notes: I really remember very little about these Mule opening sets (from LA thru Vegas, I slept in the car in San Diego while my buddy went in and taped them)....this was probably due to putting 6200 miles on a rental car following the Crowes and catching Soundgarden, the Smashing Pumpkins, Rush and Pantera in the course of 10 days, then renting a 2nd car in Phoenix (where I landed) to drive to LA, SD, Vegas then back to Phoenix (well over 8000 miles in just over 2 weeks on the road). I do remember that there weren't a whole lot of people in the building for the Mule sets, which made for great sounding tapes; see if you agree! big thanks to april8 for the upload, and there still may be a few Mule gems in the vault. stay tuned!
