Joe Bonamassa with Gov't Mule "Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home" 

This should have a million views.

I was at Joe's concert at the vic just hours before this show at the riv in Chicago. My first time seeing joe. never seen gov't mule live but familiar with haynes music. joe is a beast on guitar. can't believe he had the energy to leave just shortly after his 2 or 3 hour set at the vic and go down the street to jam with these guys. He's just one of those guys who loves playing and doesn't want to put that thing down and just wants to collaborate with everybody in the business it seems.

where my guitar playing is at now I am not worthy to string Joes guitar never mind play along side...But even at my level there are times when I want to play but just cant get into it and cant find the sweet spot.. so it amazes me that these guys get up there night after night and kick ass...

J'ai vu Warren en concert hier soir à Beaulieu sur mer ( south France ). incroyable! exceptionel, cosmique,fabuleux, c'est dingue le talent de cet artiste! Quant à Joe ....il passe à Lyon la semaine prochaine... ce sera surement du concentré d'or fin!

Love Gov't Mule and Joe definitely has the licks. Great stuff. Warren Haynes playing with Dickie Betts in Allman Bros was the the stuff of gods. They were a natural together

Huge JB fan, but I admit I've never heard of Warren Haynes. These two together are absolutely awesome. Just when I thought I'd found all the good older JB videos on RU-vid, I happen onto this one. Fantastic back & forth play.

JESUS CHRIST!!!!! I Love it!!!!! I believe I would have given my first born to be there to see that!!!!!

Warren always steps it up a notch, as does who is ever on stage with him. JB always takes us to blues heaven, then coupled with Warren, it's outerspace. Would like to see Mule tour with Joe Bonamassa as a support. Can you imagins?

I agree I love Joe he is FANTASTIC but theres something about Warren that makes him my favorite! both rock!

Big Warren Haynes Fan and Warren turned me on to Joe in this video 2 years ago and man O man what can I say !! What O !! My guitar heroes and living legends keep on jamming on !! ps Guitar Center has new video of Warren And Joe last fall jamming to this same song at battle of the blues finals 2011!!~~ Enjoy !!

Outstanding talent!

Lord have mercy!!!Bad to the bone. Damn!!!

They did great thanks for the opportunity to hear it.

Damn, my two Fav players!

A perfect match, don't get much better.

Wow!! Lord Have Mercy!....

I drooled onto my keyboard when I was watching the trades hahaha.

Warren Haynes voice alone is worth him being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

You can tell that Warren is getting off on Joe's playing and when the two of them start trading licks they just feed off of each other and it awesome to witness something special like these two amazing guitar players ripping it up.

Some players clash but Joe and Warren really complement each other really well. Their styles mesh beautifully. Two real pros playing together and not trying to out do each other like a couple of kids might. They sound like they've played together for years even though this is a one off. This is real music by real musicians.

Why would ANYONE give this a thumbs down? Really???

Blues makes you happy because when you hear it or play it or sing it, your blues go away. That's the reason for the blues.

These guys are simply not meant to be compared to one another. They fantastically and beautifully compliment each others styles. This is not a competition. This is art. This is a blood letting of soul through each of their fingertips. They have played together many times and will continue to seek the satisfaction of playing together again and again. Watching them key off of each other is nothing short of amazing. Warren brings incredibly solid structure. Joe brings those speedy fingertips that work so well within the structure that Warren provides. Neither of them could make this as amazing as it is without the other. Blues at its best and it`s written all over both of their faces. You can tell they are both in heaven. An absolute treasure of a trak. Watching these guys feed off of each other will keep me coming back. ( and already have at least a hundred times.)

Totally Sweet

Check out "Bloodline" sometime. They recorded their album in 1994. It`s the first time, that I know of, that Warren and Joe recorded together. I love to see both of these guys live. Just saw Warren with ABB in Nashville 2 weeks ago. AWESOME !!!!!!! Both Joe and Warren give a great live performance...........would LOVE to see them together......LIVE.......sometime. Keep hopin` Joe`ll sign on for Christmas Jam one year............... R.K.

love !!!

YEAAHHH!!

i would pay a lot of money and do a lot of things to see these 2 guys on the same stage...

way to make blues sound fresh and new! love it!

muy bacano, en colombia es un icono.....

enchanting!:)

Well put.

thanks for posting this rippen jam....man

Cool!!

Super...

Warren Haynes is Monster here - what beautiful tone, phrasing and feel, Making our Hot Fav JB looks like a Kid in front of him ~~

very cool blue

You got it Matt ! I've tried to copy his stuff and it is not easy. It is easier to copy a fast lick over one that has feeling most of the time.

Thanks. I knew it was not originally an AK song but could not remember Ann's name and am ashamed to admit I was too lazy to look it up. Anyhow, great song and this version def. inspired by albert, though they have moved some chords around, too.

excelent...

Every player has something that makes him unique. Is Joe supposed to abandon his style to accommodate people who believe that chops equals no soul. Some players rely on very carefully placed notes which I love. Others have a more jazzy, improv side where they are not sure where they are going to go and play the transitional runs and do not simply play the 20 to 30 3-4 note licks and link them together. Both styles require talent and originality if you are going to stand out and guys like Bonamassa and Eric Johnson have chops but still stay true to blues tradition with a more progressive sensibility. There is room for both players. To say Joe is not listening and merely rattling off lines that he memorized is a way of dismissing a player who plays with such ease that a lot of players unwilling or unable to do what he does treat him like some 80s shredder which he is not. Stevie Ray Vaughn had chops from hell but because he always went back to his beloved Albert King licks people forget how technical he was. Derek Trucks is another player whose chops go unnoticed because of his great restraint. Joe let's it all hang out and I believe he plays with honesty and is not trying to show off. Warren would probably agree.

WOW.... wish I would have been there for this... such a treat! Thanks for posting this!

Joe was clearly born with Soul. John Lee Hooker and BB King didn't doubt his soul at age 12....

every time i think i've seen it all, Joe Bonamassa blows my mind again... you're BLOWIN' MY MIND JOE! BLOWIN' MAA MIND!!!!!!!!!!

I can hear him play 5 notes and know its him!

Warren Haynes. Nuf Said.

look up joe davis band from kannapolis #3 nc

joe's faster, got MMAAAAYBE more chops, but damn warren is THE MAN.

The best 2 guitarists alive today on one stage..totally cool

Fantastic interplay between Joe and Warren towards the end! Amazing

my two loves... I could listen to Warren sing and Joe play allll day!

okay, i couldn't fucking love this anymore. i love albert king. i worship warren haynes. i like and respect joe. i LOVE this song and they both play tastefully and respectfully and "duel" really well. superb playing from two complete masters. warren's been my guy since seeing the ABB as a 17 year old in 92. he smoked on that red strat.

Good on you, man, Post some vids. It's all about the vibrato, timing, space, phrasing... But you know all that. if you've got it, bring it.

wicked soul

Who could not like this?Warren Haynes and Joe Bonamassa on the same stage,Come on man!

NOW THAT'S MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

This is fucking insane!

When they ease into jamming together... 6:00 - that's awesome.

Gov't Mule is still one of the best shows I have ever seen

@littledevil8m I read your comment right as I was wiping the drool of mine... too funny...

It does not get better than that. There comes a point where it simply comes down to taste because the facility on the instrument and the musical vocabulary, tone, timing and note choice are so developed. This is one of those times.

To all the haters: Here's a challenge. Just try to play like Warren Haynes over a blues groove for 8 bars. It's not as easy as it seems. I mean, great bends with perfectly executed intonation and phrasing and solid tone. Try it, then upload it to prove it! I can't do it. Gotta love the Haynes, he's a true inspiration. Thanks for uploading this vid!

Two of my favorites and two who bring it everynight, stretching to new levels, but all with respect to the original boys of the blues...........

at approx the 8:30 when they're trading off licks, i may have come a little.

Fucking video killed the radio star. It's a shame they are more concerned with an image over the talent. Good thing Warren is established enough not to have to worry about that crap.

Warren is kicking, his vocals and playing so earthy.. of course Joe is fantastic as well But it all just great music and thats what important...

Man, I saw the Mule at this venue a few years before this, and it wasn't nearly as hot as this! Joe showed up with his holster loaded!

,,,,this might be,,,,,,,,Gary richraths guitar......😯???...he owned it at some time ....anyone know??...tnx,

yeah dude.....next week....govt mule..nashville....omg....this was an awesome vid...especially when they went back and forth

In Indianapolis, I saw Mule the day before this show. Skipped this Chicago show to drive to St. Louis to see Joe. Got a phone call from friends who did Mule in Indy-Chicago-Detroit. They rubbed it in that Joe was on stage at the Riviera! My luck to miss my two favorite pickers on stage at the same time.

Maybe its bad lighting and harsh shadows but Joe looks 60 years old and sick in this clip. Eat a biscuit Joe!

Blues with D6? Great! And such an amazing "old" Les Paul Lead Sound. Only the "compressed to death" of the whole audio-track is to much. But its video, so its fairly ok.

Cool, I was expecting a little more during the trading of licks but, it was still cool. It was kinda like both Warren and Joe didn't really wanta take off. Cool. post.

Yep- very well said... then ya gotta sing like that too- gotta love that voice too... Warren rules Joe in that department... but give it a few more years on the road...;-)

Now we know 6 people who have absolutely NO ear for good music....Poor Plumb Pitimus People.

I normally bash Joe and his many notes of waste but I have to admit his 2nd solo is realy good. Too bad he can't be this interesting nearly all the time. If he was I guess we'd call him Robben Ford.

The truth is. If you enjoy this, then it's good. If you don't that's okay too. Music like all art is a matter of opinion. My opinion is that Joe Bonamassa is an excellent player, but at this gig, he was just mimicking, trying to prove something instead of doing his own expression. Hey, we're all human. I think Warren Haynes is a more seasoned and mature player. Just my opinion. They are both top notch modern blues players.

@alanpaulchina I'd round out the elite with Derek on slide or 5 string and, as Sleazy point out above, Jimmy, even though he's more jazzy/jammy or basically any rock fusion. But then again, even as I write this it's impossible to leave out the likes of Peter Green, Robert Cray, Jimmy Thackery, Tab Benoit, and the list goes on and on...crazy how almost all the shredders these days are white huh? Enough of my ramblings. Great vid. As always I love anything from Haynes I find. Props.

JohnDoe, Warren has been on stage for longer than Joe is even alive. Given some more time, Joe will certainly become just as famous. As to their guitar playing, I think either of them has got things that the other doesn't. Joe can f***ing rock, but he's often too much on the careless, playful, side for me. And then while there's this gravity and a maturity in Warren's playing that I enjoy very much, I sometimes wish he'd play more hard and heavy rock, stuff like Joe's "Quarryman".

I'll say that I can agree with that. I'm not trying to disagree with you! However, Warren also writes great songs and even wrote for JB!! I think he has many impressive skills overall that make him a good musician. And yes, some bands would be nowhere without GD fan base. I never thought Jerry Garcia was a good guitarist, yet I enjoy listening to him, Im guessing thats the situation with you and Warren? If so, I can understand that. What do you think of Steve Howe, out of curiosity.

Cool! I didn't know this existed!!! I'm backstage on Warren's side for this one.....we came over w/ Joe after his show- this was SOOOO good!!! These two really played well together- Joe sounds just as good thru one amp as he does thru his 4 amp rig on this too. Its ALL in the hands baby!!! Thanks for posting this.

@LeesJams Me neither man, this guy hates on Warren for some reason, maybe he's jealous I dont know, its sort of sad for him to hate on such a generous nice guy who is a great player.... I dont care how good he says he is, Warren actually proves it by being one of the hardest working musicians around today

the cool thing here is that joe is getting a "green" tone like albert king liked. joe says you'd leave if he played one amp all night. he's making this one sing. i know he took his fuchs out of the rotation a while back. warren of course just cuts it too. these 2 need to do a cd together--talk about some powerful blues rock

Only person closer than me at this show was the cameraman. I was hypnotized, just in a daze. Great back story to this show, Joe was down the street playing a show and cut it short to come play with Warren. Jackie Greene opened for Gov't Mule.

Let's pray for YT automatically cancelling ALL comments, that only count and blame the "idiots" and dislikers or believe to realize a band-member looking like xy ... 7 out of 1279 are just 0,5 %. I'd rather be glad that 99,5 % are blown away by this breathtaking jam !

THESE TWO ARE RIDICULOUS!!!!! WHAT THEY THREW DOWN AS IMPROV, IS BETTER THAN MOST GUITARISTS BEST COMPOSITION. I BELIEVE THEY PROBABLY EVEN MAKE GREAT MUSIC WHEN THEY PASS GAS!! WHAT AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THE GUITAR CAN DO!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@MrAlex0262 Maybe I wouldn't go that far , but this music is what our young people should be listenin' to....the music industry is crankin' out garbage that's supposed to showcase talent.....please..........check out Haynes with Derek Trucks if you get a chance.....

I think Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herrings would sound great together...If you think a guitarist is better then another....then just imagine the 2 playing together...You'd probably find your favorite guitarist sounds better then he ever did, accompanied by a fellow talent.

I saw the Mule in Danbury this summer- warren Haynes is brilliant- BTW- this song was not written by the late, great Albert King- it was written by George Jackson and Timothy Matthews for Ann Peebles in 1971... It's on RU-vid under Ann Peebles : "Breaking Up Somebody's Home"

Quisiera saber quienes son los 24 nabos que ponen negativo. Deben gustar de ricky martin o erasure jaja

He usually uses Marshall silver jubilees, with a a few other amps, not really a fuchs. A few weeks ago I saw him with a Diaz, Suhr, and a few others (marshalls). It's not everyday when you see him use that amp is all i'm saying...

@bbnatedogg Good decision there my brother...I still regret doing it to this day....But, I was makin' a point as to say..there's just no way I could see anyone dislikin' this music...I probably exaggerated jus' a bit.....lol...

Holy crap is Joe great in that video. Shows he doesn't need the four head mondo rig he (roadies) schlep around!!

For what is worth: Frank Gambale and Steve Morse are both technically better players than Haynes - but those two guys play notes, Haynes plays music. There is a marked difference to the listening ear - Juiceman

@JohnDoe280 haha Its sad that you can't just enjoy music and have to bring negativity to a good thing but whatever you will never be as successful as Warren with that attitude so I guess it doesn't really matter

Music, the universal language.

I've got a ticket to see Gov't Mule in Cologne & a ticket to see Joe Bonamassa in muenster.this must have been Awsome!What's the new GM albumn like?I haven't heared it yet,I plan to buy it at the concert.

Guitar Centers King of the Blues version of this same song has considerably more rip it up guitar with much better recording quality...check that one out too...good enough to be just audio!

I agree, Joe is the best, warren kicks ass but Joe " Smokes...and I also am constantly turning folks on to Joe B and they love it once they hear it....and ya....rap sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rock on !!!!!!!!!

Please, let's not forget these guys go back quite a ways...What was it, 1993 when Haynes played with Joe B in Bloodline??? Joes come a major long way since those days...thanks for sharing the gem!!!
