TimR Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 Out of the 20 of us who've contributed so far only 7 play Dakota. That's about 30%. We play less than 20% of the songs listed there. And Mustang Sally, the one song every says every band plays isn't even on the list. I'm wondering how true it is that "Every band plays the same old songs." It certainly isn't true here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I had a dep drummer on his first gig with us tell me I should listen to it as I wanted it swung a bit...you'd have to hear it to know it worked... or rather it moved, instead of such a rigid 4 on the floor part that so many bands do... Well, if the drummer had been listening that hard he would have known it moved a lot more than he credited. We worked it out in the end and he was fine once he had loosened up. I took that to mean that he played tracks pretty strict and that isn't a bad place to start if you are depping, but he was good enough to move the tracks on. So we'd have him back [quote name='Drax' timestamp='1418684428' post='2632422'] It's such a depressing list. [/quote] Yes, you'd have to have some panache to be able to carry most of that off.......

Mykesbass Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I can add another Proud Mary but none of the others. Some of our Dylan repertoire - Chimes of Freedom This Wheel's on Fire Absolutely Sweet Marie Down Along The Cove Simple Twist of Fate Don't Think Twice Its Alright non Dylan How Come (Ronnie Lane) Copperhead Road When I'm Dead and Gone I Ain't Got No Home (Woody Guthrie) The Weight Willin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
