Paul S Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Copperhead Road. Good old country stomp, which I would have thought was a bit left of field. But, then again, it was in Bishops Stortford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 "Kayleigh", I think. "Don't speak" went down well too. One which has surprised us with the response we've had is "One of us" by Joan Osborne, played slightly faster than the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 We have found that Kayleigh bombed , tried it a number of times aswell , the Jam stuff goes down quite well but yes.. [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1427646973' post='2732661'] I think it was probably Sweet Home Alabama or 500 Miles on Friday, it was that sort of band and that sort of venue [/quote] They both got them properly bouncing , even though we only 'jam' 500 miles , oh and Bryan Adams every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenochrome Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hallowed Be Thy Name, a big closer. Creeping Death and Blackbird (Alter Bridge) went down very well, in fact everything got a positive reaction, just one of those nights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjas Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Shout - Lulu, this is consistently our number that goes down best. We have just started playing Ed Sheran - Thinking out Loud, this is getting a very good reception with a lot of couples getting up for a slow dance .......

BILL POSTERS Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Regularly either Wooly Bully, Blockbuster or Great Balls of Fire. One of ems nearly always the last number. Maybe the audience are glad to see we're finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonaRik Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Either The Boys are Back in Town or Whiskey in the Jar, but to be fair the entire set went down well...like the real ale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leschirons Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Some good stuff mentioned there. I intend to suggest "You gotta fight for your right to party" to whip up a little excitement. Anyone here already do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuNkShUi Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) [quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1427723939' post='2733452'] Me too. [/quote] Same. We also get a great recption for our "80s cheese" section, consisting of * Gold - Spandau Ballet * Hold The Line - Toto * Dont You Want Me Baby - Human League We always try to take a few requests whenever we book in a wedding. These were chosen for one wedding and we dreaded playing them. They had the best reception of the night, and have continued on in that trend. We feel like we cant drop them now!

drTStingray Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Flip Flop and Fly - at breakneck speed with walking bass part, strident brass and harmonica parts and Ott solos - strangely I can sing harmonies on this without screwing up the bass part. Also close to the response - Tainted Love - hybrid rockabilly cum Soft Cell version - goes down a storm possibly because everyone in the audience knows the words and can bawl them out after a few (especially women)!!

[/quote] Nice, 'Gravy' as I call it, was our penultimate song. Our lead guitarist sings it so gives lead vox/2nd guitar dude a little break before hitting the high notes.

synthaside Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I think this is VERY crowd / place dependent we try to recon a place a bit before we set our mind on a set. For our recent gig to a bunch or 20-30 something media types the biggest hitter was, a song i did not expect. Its All been done before - Barenaked ladies , annoying as my band force me to take lead vocals on it. whereas i normally get to avoid having a mic at all. Apparently i'm a vocal doppelganger. >.< its a killer on the voice . We did a bit of a late 90's early 00's bit at our last gig , this followed by a googoo dolls double of iris and slide and finishing with Everlong by the foo's Edited March 30, 2015 by synthaside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
