Gov’t Mule will only play a few shows in 2011. So it makes sense that the theme of the band’s New Year’s Eve show at New York’s Beacon Theater has been dubbed “Get Behind The Mule: Past, Present and Future.” As part of Get Behind the Mule, the group is looking to play The Ultimate Gov’t Mule set list.

In preparation, the Mule is asking fans to submit their 10 Favorite Gov’t Mule songs, 5 Favorite Songs that Gov’t Mule covers and 5 Cover Songs they always wanted to hear Gov’t Mule play. All fans who make song suggestions will be entered to win several prizes, including a NYE Poster signed by Gov’t Mule, downloads for the full 3 show NYE run (12/28 in DC and the shows from NYC on the 30 and 31) and other goodies.
