As previously reported Warren Haynes has played Radiohead’s ‘Lucky’ with Gov’t Mule. Warren Haynes was interviewed in the New York Times where he talks about his live album: “Live at Bonnaroo”, which also includes ‘Lucky’.
On the day the album was recorded, Mr. Haynes took the stage at around noon, a time at which he would more typically be sleeping. Consequently, the set has an almost dreamlike feel, as if Mr. Haynes were simply playing some of his favorite songs as they came to mind.
That’s pretty much how it was. As Mr. Haynes, who had done about a dozen solo performances in his life to that point, was sketching out his set list that morning, his wife, Stefani Scamardo, who manages him and other performers, noted the brooding Radiohead song at the top. In a perfect spousal question that is really a comment, she asked, “You’re not really going to open up with `Lucky,’ are you?” Mr. Haynes, a North Carolina native who speaks in a cheerful “hey, buddy” drawl, chuckled at the recollection. “Well, yeah,” he replied, “I think I am.”
