Kenny Wayne Shepherd Live In Chicago 2007

Live! In Chicago is a live album by the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band.

It was recorded at the House of Blues in Chicago in 2007 while he was promoting the 10 Days Out: Blues From The Backroads studio album.

This is blues rock with an R&B feel to it reminiscent of the early British Invasion bands on the 1960s.

Gov’t Mule Holy Haunted House 2007

Holy Haunted House is a live album by Gov’t Mule.

It was recorded at The O’Shaughnessy Theatre in St. Paul, Minnesota on October 31, 2007.

Strangely it includes a live version of the entire Led Zeppelin album Houses of the Holy. I say strangely because this is probably Zeppelin’s best covered album on their own live albums The Song Remains The Same and How The West Was Won. It’s brave to be ready to be compared against 1972 and 1973 Led Zeppelin.

It is not that unusual for Gov’t Mule to pay tribute to a group like this, particularly at their Halloween concerts. Another live album, The Dark Side Of The Mule features plenty of Pink Floyd songs and they’ve also played sets of songs by The Rolling Stones and The Who.
