Warren Haynes Brought His Soul Band to the Moody Theater

Warren Haynes’ Live at the Moody Theater documents the band he assembled around Man in Motion. The Austin performance became a concert film and live album, giving that soul-focused project a substantial record of its own.

The approximately two-and-a-half-hour show mixed Haynes material with songs associated with Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan and Sam Cooke. Ian McLagan and the Groove Line horns joined a lineup that included Nigel Hall, Ron Holloway and Alecia Chakour.

The Moody Theater setting matters because the release catches this specific ensemble working through a full evening. It offers a different view of Haynes from his Gov’t Mule work, with the chosen band, guest players and repertoire defining the project rather than his name alone.
