We either do, or have done, many of those on your list. Here's some others we've done

Cover Band Staples

Summer of 69 - Works every time and for ALL ages.

Blister in The Sun - ditto

Should I Stay Or Should I Go - makes an nice encore when you want to go home but they want "one more song" (It's short)

Purple Rain - Our most "applauded" song. We do it pretty well though. Guitar player really nails the long solo at the end.

Don't Stop Believin' - Another can't miss for all ages. People love to sing along and some lose their minds to this song. Tough to do without keys

 

Others

Addicted to Love

Your Love (tough to pull off well)

Call Me Al

Centerfold -Gang vocal the signature keys part at the beginning. That opens the guitar to come in with strong chords when the drums and bass kick in (just keep signing).

Jump

Bon Jovi - Bad Name, Dead Or Alive, Livin' On A Prayer (All on Slippery When Wet Album from 1986, but close enough and keepers add to your set.

Let's Go Crazy - tough to do without keys
