Members ned911 Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 We are thinking of adding Whitesnake's Here I Go Again to our set list. However, it seems any time you play something unde 105 bpm it just kills the crowd - like taking the air out of a ballon. Anyone have experience playing Here I Go? is it a set killer? or will people actually dance to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmtnt Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 "Here I Go Again" is pretty upbeat and was quite popular so it might go over well. Whatever you do, DON'T play "Is This Love". We tried this one as a slow dance tune. Talk about a set killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Menace Posted August 22, 2006 Members Share Posted August 22, 2006 My band does the 'radio' version. It's slightly faster and the whole band starts at once, rather than a long keyboard intro. The solo is different as well....but the album version fits just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarsnguns04 Posted September 4, 2006 Members Share Posted September 4, 2006 we have played it with great results. It depends what is before it also. I found that when they are dancing they want to keep dancing. Good tune though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The album version had Sykes on guitar....the "radio" version was recut using Dan Huff. Interesting differences in their approach to the lead break....

We've been considering adding it too. We learned it a while ago, but haven't put it in a set yet. It's not really a dance song, more a sing along.

Members Menace Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 Pretty sure the Greatest Hits, or 'radio', version had a Huff solo: http://www.ccentertainment.com/dhuff.htm The Sykes solo is way more memorable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Badside Posted September 6, 2006 Members Share Posted September 6, 2006 You know, not every song has to make everyone in the audience stand up and dance. If you want to come back you have to sell beer, so you've got to let them buy beer...As long as you come out strong right after. Last weekend we played a 3 hours straight gig because the crowd came alive just as we were about to take a break. The owner of the bar said we did a kick ass show, but he didn't sell much cause we kept the audience captivated the whole night.The following night we took a break...
