Gov’t Mule’s Island Exodus came to a rousing conclusion last night as the band welcomed out numerous guests previously featured earlier in the week as well as some new friends.

The highlights began late in the first set as Ron Holloway joined Mule for a “Other One” jam and the finale “Doing It to Death.” The second set was a guest free-for-all as Los Lobos’ David Hidalgo joined in for Clapton’s “Presence of the Lord” before Hidalgo, Steven Campbell, Matt Jennings and Jack Ryan covered the Dead’s “Bertha.”

An entirely new group that included Nicki Bluhm, Eric Krasno, Campbell, Jennings and Ryan emerged later on for “Deal” and a debut of Motley Crue’s “Dr. Feelgood” with the Island Exodus horns and previous guests. The stage was alleviated slightly, as just Holloway, Steve Berlin and Marcus King aided Mule on the following “Sco-Mule.”

After a segment of “Beautifully Broken” that included snippets of Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” Krasno, Berlin, the Island Exodus horns and singers emerged for another nod to The Purple One with “Let’s Go Crazy.” Marcus King then led the proceedings on “Purple Rain” before the show closed with a foray into David Bowie with a reprise of “All the Young Dudes.”

Here’s a look at the setlist:
