Gov’t Mule welcomed out an old friend, Johnny Neel, for the final few songs of their set at Chattanooga’s Southern Brewers Festival on Saturday night. Neel sat in on “Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home” and the set-closing “Soulshine,” which featured a bit of Van Morrison’s “Tupelo Honey.” Neel returned with Mule for the one-song encore of “Goin’ Out West.”

Neel and Gov’t Mule guitarist Warren Haynes were both members in the Allman Brothers Band in 1989 and 1990. Much like Haynes, the keyboardist was also a member of Dickey Betts’ band in the 80s and has collaborated with his former group from time to time over the years. Neel is also a member of the Mule side project Blue Floyd.
