ceilidhswinger Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Can anybody out there think of a good song that would sit alongside Sweet Home Alabama in a medley? Only one I can think of is Steve Millers "Joker" its not same tempo but same feel! Quote
Ian Savage Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Kid Rock fully ripped-off SHA and WoL in 'All Summer Long'. Quote
casapete Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Bit obvious maybe, but how about Kid Rock's 'All summer long' too? Edit - Beat me to it Ian!! Edited May 30, 2012 by casapete Quote

KevB Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) How about this - it's quicker than SHA but fits the pattern reasonably well; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLwXlpJi6o[/media] Edited May 30, 2012 by KevB Quote

chris_b Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Dump Sweet Home Alabama and play a long version of Werewolves. One of my favourite numbers. Quote

ceilidhswinger Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Speed up Fleetwood Macs "The Chain" Quote
Dave Vader Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 bad company can't get enough uses the same progression, so does Fleetwood Mac's don't stop, have linked all three together before (when drunk, am suitably ashamed of myself) Quote
charic Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 If you were to use some kind of breakdown then what about Sweet Home -> Hotel California Quote
Dr.Dave Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote] Been doing this for the last 3 years. I do a verse and chorus of 'Werewolves' - Rod does a verse or two of Kid Rock then we fire into the Sweet Home Alabhama' chorus. Few bars of solo - quiet bit with a spoken gag about the williams getting their lighters out - back into a couple of loud SHA's - big rock ending - williams go mental - home for tea and medals. We've noticed it's the only thing we do that gets the blokes up to dance before the women. I introduce it as the 'dead peoples song'. Usual line is - ' Warren Zevon's dead - Lynyrd Skynyrd smacked their plane into a big f**k off mountain - dead - ...Kid Rock.......... he's not dead but he's shitting himself !'.

Gust0o Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Hmm... what about this, for impact? [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AIJuRGYmWk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AIJuRGYmWk[/url] Quote
Delberthot Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=008jskwOtkg"]Chilis -Dani California and the song they copied: Tom Petty - Mary Jane's Last Dance[/url] Edited May 30, 2012 by Delberthot Quote
pietruszka Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote] Yes yes and yes! Brilliant track and thankfully a little under covered I think. I kinda agree with ChrisB to, do WoL in place of it, but then sweet home is a popular track and will go down well. Dan Quote
chris_b Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 The audience reaction to SHA is universal. How can a song be that popular? We sometimes play Werewolves but unfortunately it doesn't generate the same reaction. We're a cover band so you can guess which number we play on every gig!! I wish I was in a position to take my own advice! Quote
ceilidhswinger Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Now were on a roll lad's! all good stuff! Dani California works well! Quote
ceilidhswinger Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Just thought of one "Lovely Day" Bill Withers! Quote
