70's Glam Rock set list ?

[dmccombe7]

Thinking of trying to put together a 70's Glam Rock band and looking for ideas on set list.

Anyone wanna have a go and offer some suggestions.

Apologies if this has been done before. If so would appreciate pointing in right direction. Tried a search but nothing came up.

Anything by Gary Glitter should go down well.

It's a pity that Mr Gadd's personal life has overshadowed the fact that the first 3 or 4 GG singles were fantastic slices of Glam pop rock.

[merlin]

the Tubes..white punks on dope..

His backstory shouldn't stop anyone covering his work, imho. In fact, I believe Dr Dave's band does so, albeit with a knowing leer.

[dmccombe7]

Some classics in there guys.
Big fan of them all.
Agree GG first few singles were classics along with the Glitter Band.

Just need to decide which ones to pick from all of the above.

The Tubes was one i hadn't thought off - nice one - liked them a lot.

Keep them coming.

Dave

[alyctes]

don't know if it counts as glam, but David Essex 'Lamplight' deserves a mention.

Sparks, 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us'.

And some Lou Reed stuff is worth thinking about.

8 Billion Dollar Babies / Schools Out (Alice)

Encore

9. Hellraiser / Blockbuster (Sweet)

A significant number of the suggestions so far were not in any way shape or form "glam" songs or bands, some were barely contemporaries of them. There was 4 years of "glam" hits which means plenty of material.
I read just the other day that a US "football" team walk onto the pitch to GG's "Rock n Roll Part 1"

Since what's left of Slade & Sweet are currently on tour see if you can catch one of the gigs (purely for the purpose of research of course) - there's a few still to go I believe. Andy's Sweet still use "The Stripper" as their build up track.

Some Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel would fit in with that sort of set too.

[paulconnolly]

How about a bit of Be Bop Deluxe - Axe Victim, 3rd Floor Heaven?

[Hobbayne]

We do several 70,s glam rockers
Bowie - Ziggy Stardust/Suffragette City
T Rex - 20th Century Boy/Children Of The Revolution
Osmonds - Crazy Horses
Mamma Were All Crazy Now - Slade
Faces - Stay With Me

[dmccombe7]

Whow some real crackers in there that i had forgotten about.
Some not Glam Rock but they would fit in nicely to that era.

Be Bop Deluxe Made in Heaven would have been my preferred track tho. Great band too.

Lots to work on to finalise a set list and then locate musicians who are interested and capable.

Appreciate the feedback guys

It'd be a tough call who could shatter a wine class the quickest; Alan Williams or Andy Scott - and they're both as capable of hitting them notes now as they did back then.
I heard a story that "Showaddywaddy" got their name from the background lyric to that Rubettes song.
