Warren Haynes Live at the Moody Theater 2011

Live At The Moody Theater is a double live album and DVD by the Warren Haynes Band.

It was recorded in Austin, Texas on November 3, 2011 while Haynes was promoting the Man In Motion studio album.

If the name Warren Haynes sounds familiar it will be from his associated as a lead guitarist and vocalist with Gov’t Mule, The Allman Brothers Band and The Grateful Dead. He’s also played with the Dave Matthews Band.

Warren Haynes Live at the Moody Theater

As a solo artist he plays a more soulful version of blues rock that he has done with Gov’t Mule and the Allman Brothers.

If you’re expecting an album dominated by guitar, you should know that the band features a female backing singer and a horn section with plenty of saxophone solos. There is still plenty of guitar but it’s much more of a balanced sound than many blues rock live albums.

This album is superb and is one of my favourites. Expect a rating of 28 or even 29 out of 30 when I do the full review. I couldn’t stop playing it but I’m wary of rushing to judgement too quickly on the albums at the very top of my ratings.

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that I have a weakness for the combination of guitar and saxophone so this fits me like a glove. I also love the sound of excellent female backing singer who helps to enrich the sound.

It’s tough to choose just a few videos from the concert to share with you with these will give you a taste of what to expect.
