Members mstreck Posted October 9, 2005 Members Share Posted October 9, 2005 Would anyone mind taking a look at it and reworking (reordering) it? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members srsfallriver Posted October 10, 2005 Members Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hey mstrek, I probably just didn't look hard enough, but all I could find on your link was a list of artists that you cover. Anyway it looks like you're a cover band that probably plays clubs/bars. My band used to do that but we've morphed into a wedding band. Still, we may do a club on a rare occasion. You can check out my band's songlist at: www.the-RETURN.net We kept most of our "club" songs on there in case we get a potential client that want those types of tunes. If we do a club now-days, our setlist would look something like: You Can't Always Get What You Want Pink Houses Wonderwall Sympathy For The Devil Feel Like Makin' Love Good Ridance Hey Joe Waste Simple Man American Girl Brown Eyed Girl Don't Stop Squeeze Box Magic Carpet Santeria Don't Forget About Me Jenny Jenny Blister In The Sun Brick House Sweet Home Alabama Play That Funky Music Santeria Brian Wilson Good Love Old Time R&R Breakfast At Tiffani's Laid Wanted Dead or Alive Me & Julio I'm A Believer Sweet Child O'Mine You Shook Me All Night Long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mstreck Posted October 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 16, 2005 Thanks for the reply. And, sorry. I forgot that we changed the list on the site from songs to artists. It was easier to update that way. But I really wanted someone to look at a recent set list, which already has songs that we play well and that the audience seems to like. But, as of last night, we're changing things drastically. Here are our 99 most recently played songs. We had a "band meeting" last night and decided that we would each pare down the list to 60 and see what we have to work with from there. Obviously, the songs that none of us like or that we don't feel that we play well are going to go bye-bye. We can build things back up from there. 1. American Girl2. Bad to the Bone3. Ball and Chain4. Basketcase5. Beast of Burden6. Blister in the Sun7. Blitzkreig Bop 8. Brown Eyed Girl9. Burnin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KeysBear Posted October 18, 2005 Members Share Posted October 18, 2005 Do a Google search on "classic rock" "set list" or some variation of that. I've pulled set lists from all over the country by doing Google Searches.We do classic rock and of your list we do this 17 of your 99. Even some of these are lame and we rarely do them, like Rock this Town, I shot the Sheriff, and Stuck in the Middle. Mustang Sally is an international standard. Brown Eyed Girl never fails. 8. Brown Eyed Girl18. Freebird22. Gimme Three Steps27. I Shot the Sheriff28. I Wanna be Sedated29. I Want you to Want Me31. Ice Cream Man50. Mustang Sally65. Roadhouse Blues66. Rock This Town76. Squeeze Box78. Stuck in the Middle81. Sweet Home Alabama 88. Twist and Shout94. What I Like About You98. You Shook me all Night Long99. You can't always get what you want We do a lot more Stones, Pink Floyd, Doors, Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mstreck Posted October 19, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 For Country Roads, we don't play it John Denver style. We start out with a "country" sound then we go straight into a driving rock version on the first chorus. We call that "putting our stink" on a song that would typically suck otherwise. I would enjoy doing Brown Eyed Girl so much more if *I* wasn't the one singing it. For those interested, here are the results of each of us choosing our "top 60". Now we just need to build three kick-ass sets. The songs with 1 and 0 votes will probably be moved to our "in case of emergency" list. Songs garnering all 5 votes: Beast of Burden Blister in the Sun Don't Change Dreamin' Gimme Three Steps Hard to Handle Honky Tonk Woman I Wanna be Sedated I Want you to Want Me Jefferson's Theme Joey Just a Girl Keep your Hands to Yourself Mustang Sally My Love is Alive Oh Darling Only One Purple Rain Redneck Woman Roadhouse Blues Should I Stay or Should I go Son of a Preacher Man Twist and Shout Walk Like an Egyptian Walkin' on Sunshine We Got the Beat What I Like About You You Shook me all Night Long 4 Votes: Crosstown Traffic Dead Flowers Get Down Tonight Get off my Cloud Great Balls of Fire I Shot the Sheriff Little Pink Houses Long Train Running Movin On Over Never Tear us Apart Preacher Man Scooby Doo Theme Song She Hates Me Squeezebox Tequila Warm California Sun You can't always get what you want 3 Votes: Basketcase Brown Eyed Girl Country Roads Every Rose Has its Thorn Friends In Low Places Love Stinks My Own Worst Enemy Old Time Rock and Roll Pour Some Sugar on Me Pride and Joy Smokin' in the Boy's Room Talk Dirty to Me Tush Why Don't we get Drunk. 2 Votes: Blitzkreig Bop Burnin' Love Dancing Queen Fight for your Right to Party Flagpole Sitta House is a Rockin' It's All Over Now Jenny/867-5309 Just Like Heaven Last Train to Clarksville Moondance Play that Funky Music Pretty In Pink Rock This Town Smokey and the Bandit Surrender Sweet Home Alabama The Middle Venus Wooly Bully You Oughta Know 1 Vote: American Girl Bad to the Bone Last Dance with Mary Jane Respectable Rockin in the Free World Sea of Love Sloop John B.

Members KeysBear Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 You have a female lead singer in the band? That may be why I can't stand some of your top picks. If I had to play Walk Like an Egyptian, Walkin' on Sunshine, and We Got the Beat I would quit after the first rehearsal and possibly join a monestary that requires a vow of silence. I did those songs in the 80's with a female lead and I think I'm still deeply scarred by the experience. I can't imagine Country Roads in any style that wouldn't make me puke. I see you've ditched Ice Cream Man which is fun for me because I rip organ leads and fills through the whole song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have both female and male lead vox, you have the world in front of you!
