ead Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1328656080' post='1530904'] At the risk of being flamed to death.... Many of these are the reason(s) that I'm either in an originals band... Or not in a band at all. I understand that these may be as a part of lucrative function/covers band arrangement.... But I'd just stand there and play it like a zombie. For some reason, I only enjoy playing something that I've had some input into, for better or worse. In the last band I was in, we did "All along the Watchtower..." and I hated it. Quite obviously my mileage varies significantly... And limits (severely) my ability to find a band... [/quote] As a band we have made the decision to play as much of our own stuff as we think we can get away with. This means sets will vary from 100% own brand to maybe 70% covers. At a recent gig where we were playing about 50/50 we got asked to play more of our original material which was great - so not all doom and tribute bands!

neepheid Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't suppose a lot of this makes much sense as we're predominantly an originals band, with a few covers sprinkled in, but hey ho.

[/quote] I must admit it was a bitterly cold night as I recall but the atmosphere and response from the punters from the outset was great - really spurred us on - I was grateful when American Pie was called as gave most of the band a chance for a "comfort break". , I tend to drink 3 pints of water per gig so tend to slosh a bit towards the end! Oh and I forgot to mention we also do Does Your Mother Know (Abba) and of course Mustang Sally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328694876' post='1531139'] The thing about 'Mustang Sally' is... everyone seems to do the Commitments version, which is crap IMHO. The 1965 Wilson Pickett original is in a different key, different tempo, has an entirely different bass line, and is [i]well groovy[/i]. And of course, no-one sings it like Mr Pickett... Edit: The very first pic that shows before you hit 'Play'... see who that is on guitar?
