Members mrcpro Posted December 10, 2005 Members Share Posted December 10, 2005 "Need You Tonight"- INXS (really big since the show)"Addicted To Love"- Robert Palmer"Hurts So Good"- John Cougar"Purple Rain"- Prince"What I Like About You"- Romantics"Red Red Wine"- UB40"I Want You To Want Me"- Cheap Trick"Heaven"- Bryan Adams"Gimme All Your Lovin"- ZZ Top"Electric Avenue"- Eddie Grant My Top 10...all gig-tested hundreds of times. Get better response from Billy Idol's remake of "Mony Mony" than "White Wedding", but I do them both. "Safety Dance" works with a knowledgable crowd.

Members fastplant Posted December 12, 2005 Members Share Posted December 12, 2005 Originally posted by Sixorsax Mirror in the BathroomOne Step Beyond Love a man in Uniform - Gang of Four I'd love to see that band. But those are hardly "must haves." I've never once seen a band play any of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sixorsax Posted December 13, 2005 Members Share Posted December 13, 2005 You are right, they are not must haves but the first 2 I played in one band I got to sit in with my sax in college, the other when I had my own band. It's what you do when you don't want to sound like a classic rock radio station or like every other band with almost identical set lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
