Whats your opening number?

Our most commom opener has been Cigs & Alcohol by Oasis. It's easy & help get's you in to the mood for the gig.

Reset - Set Your Goals

Blues/rock covers band: very rocked-up version of "Stuck in the middle"

Ceildh band - "Jennie Lind" and "Grandfather's" (it's probably called "Grandfather's summat-or-other" but I can't remember ever being told what summat-or-other is).

Originals band and pop/rock covers band are still building the set so the first number is fluid.

Acoustic duo - we change the set every gig as we normally only do eight or nine numbers of 40+, so it could be anything.

To those who complain about the set list changing, I'd say that doing the same set in the same order two or three times a month for two or three years is painful. If you're stuck in that situation, sack whoever it is that couldn't be arsed to introduce new songs to the set.

[quote name='Conan' post='973527' date='Oct 1 2010, 08:07 AM']As we are a new band, we are still putting the setlist together, but the two hot favourites for opening numbers are Van Halen's Runnin' with the Devil (not inspired by the movie Little Nicky at all!) and Steve Stevens' (What were his parents thinking about?) Atomic Playboys.

Sadly, we lack the hair.[/quote]

We are all the wrong side of 40 and a bit folically challenged too. Our solution, buy some wigs, spandex and the odd leather codpiece!

At the moment it's "Tie your mother down" by Queen. Love playin' it.
