On one hand, Gov’t Mule – a band that began in 1994 as a side project for then-Allman Brothers’ band guitarist Warren Haynes and bassist bandmate Allen Woody – is not one of those seemingly countless tribute bands who eat, breathe and, umm, reproduce Pink Floyd music note-for-note for insatiable PF fans, year after year. (For festival slots and some stand-alone dates, the band plays shortened or alternate sets, so this was the full tsunami, all right.)

The Mule had recently kicked off their Pink Floyd-heavy tour called Dark Side of the Mule, and this was one of those generous, nearly three-hour shows where Haynes and the team front-loaded the audience with a whole lotta Mule in the first hour, and then, truly, went deep diving through the Floydian universe in an extended second set. If you can’t get enough of Foundation’s storytelling, here are ten great books to read that also have plots that span centuries - the types of books that, should they ever be adapted for the big or small screen themselves (if they haven’t been already), will have fans saying “I can’t believe they pulled it off” the way they are about Foundation.On July 26, at the popular all-seasons concert venue KEMBA Live!, in Columbus, Ohio, waves parted, and classic guitars and keyboards came out to play in the hands of Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule. The Apple TV+ series, though, is a feat of adaptation, full of richly developed characters and memorable scenes that may or may not involve Lee Pace fighting assassins in the buff. It’s some heady stuff that you might not think would lend itself to a traditional TV narrative given its generation-spanning scale.


The book grapples with big, civilization-ending ideas, challenges the idea of free will, and ponders which traits are indelibly part of human nature. The second season of the series is underway, and while we wait each week to see how the psychohistory plays out, we’ll have to turn elsewhere to get our fix for epic, temporally expansive sci-fi stories.įoundation is the story of the crumbling of a galactic empire, something that slowly but inevitably takes place over generations. Apple TV+’s Foundation did what many thought was impossible: take Isaac Asimov’s groundbreaking, centuries-spanning books and make them into a cohesive television show.
