The 2007 Wanee Music Festival was held on April 13-14 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida. This year's stellar line-up included performances by The Allman Brothers Band, Nickel Creek, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, The Radiators, Keller Williams, and many others. Supporting its recent effort High & Mighty, Gov't Mule returned to the Peach Stage on Saturday afternoon for a second show. Its 15-song set included renditions of John the Revelator, Streamline Woman, and So Weak, So Strong, plus pairings of Lay Your Burden Down with Smokestack Lightning, Bright Days with Like Flies, and I'm a Ram with Love Me Do. In addition, Ron Holloway joined the band during Mule and Soulshine. Fortunately, longtime Music Box supporter George Weiss was on hand to provide visual documentation of the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
