GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Some Help Needed....

Posted by: Staffy Dec 25 2009, 07:23 PM

Hi guy's!
First, I want to wish everyone a further happy holiday!
Secondly I ran into a problem......
In a few day's I'm supposed to do my first "real" gig in about 20 years. (I dont count the numorous one's playing crappy music... )
So this one gonna be a solo gig were I will use some pre-programmed backgrounds of some of my own songs and some covers. (the Club-ownere is a friend of mine and has sold the club....and like having a good-bye party)
So I was sitting here and was trying to make a song list, but got stucked since I need some more songs in the field of Blues/Blues-rock and my memory is probably as bad as in my computer..... *lol*
So I really need some help with some song suggestions since I shall be playing like 2 hours in 2 sets.

This is what I've got so far(except for my own songs):

Black Velvet
Still got the blues
Testify
Red House
All along the watchtower
Unchain my heart
Sweet Home Chicago
Tush
Dust my Broom
Stop
Pride & Joy
