I wouldn't open with Hotel California. The pub crowds love that song, but it is a little down tempo and best reserved for the higher blood-alcohol levels of the middle of your set.

Yeah, have the same feeling personally as well. I think the first song should be definitely a strong song which gives the audience a reason to get more excited. Maybe that's what I am missing a bit in your current setlist: most songs are relatively slow (which is fine), and I would take a couple of songs as well which get's the crowd moving a bit (a funky song or so ). -------------------- "Don't practice until you get it right.

Yeah. Like Roger is saying, a lone guy with a guitar shouldn't open with Hotel California. The Eagles themselves, can.
What about something a little bit rockish, like Hard to Handle? It's upbeat and I think it's not too challenging. The earliest rendition of it that I heard was Pigpen-era Grateful Dead, and sorta blues-rock. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Btw this post made me think that I could do a similar thing, as it seems I can sing a bit as well (based on what others are saying though ) This post has been edited by Velvet Roger: Jun 16 2009, 06:02 PM -------------------- "Don't practice until you get it right.

I would suggest you some Bob Dylan and Neil Young songs - Quite simple and always well appreciated for pub gigs. I don't know in the UK, but here we need to play between 2h - 2h30 (sometimes more...). It's about 35/40 songs ! It's a little depressing if you listen to the lyrics but the tune seems like it's always a crowd pleaser & singalong: Like a Rolling Stone lets you really belt it out if you want. As for Neil Young, I guess Rockin' in the Free World is the right energy but ... I dunno, sounded a bit more American than I'd endorse for a british pub crowd, y'know? Might as well play Springsteen's Born in the USA at that point? -------------------- ::jafomatic

I would switch Gravity with Little Wing, and I think you have a tight set list.

I don't know in the UK, but here we need to play between 2h - 2h30 (sometimes more...). It's about 35/40 songs ! Bob Dylan and Neil Young, for sure! I guess the number of songs is right, maybe a little less like closer to 30. Problem is when people start requesting songs My buddy who used to play pubs on acoustic never bothered to learn the songs but only the lyrics. Hundereds of lyrics. Then he had a good feeling on how the song went and picked it out by heart, faked it so to speak. I'd suggest (no order) Heart of gold The Joker Cowboy song Dancing in the moonlight (is that the title, Lizzy?) A couple CCR, Bad moon rising, Who stopped the rain, Fortunate Son A a couple you can't enter stage without No joke! The tavern (see my sig - Those were the days) The Boxer -------------------- My bands homepage
All time favourites: B. Streisand - Woman in Love, M. Hopkin - Those were the days, L. Richie - Hello |

Almost all the songs on the lists are a bit slower (it doesn't mean they are not good! ). I recommend Purple Haze for the beginning of the set, or perhaps Another Brick In The Wall.

Mustang Sally (I don't know the author - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_Sally_(song) ) 7. Oasis - Wonderwall I was trying to keep a rock/blues influence as there is no one doing that sort of thing at the moment, my mate is a singer and he does a lot of these songs so they are good popular choices but I was aiming for something a bit different and guitar orientated. As for James Brown I just cant picture myself "Doing a James" ina local pub I think my wife would divorce me!! |
