INSTRUMENTALS FOR COVERS BAND

Rush's YYZ, assuming that you are all Godlike at playing your instruments. Otherwise, I'm hard pushed to think of anything that'd be suitable for a covers act - most instrumentals tend to only be known by diehard fans of the original band. Though speaking purely for myself, I'd love to show up at a gig to see the aforementioned Losfer Words being played :happy:

A Band I was in years ago did Steve vais for the love if God, absolutely bombed, needless to say we only did it the once

A good point and why I'm a bit hesitant about ITQE. I think whether we put it in will depend on the audience and how we feel the gig is going.

Some great recommendations boys and girls. Keep them coming. I will draw up a short list by the weekend and make suggestions to my band mates. Great stuff and many thanks.
I think an important thing to factor in is that the tunes need to be pretty much instantly recognisable by a crowd made up of regular punters out for a few beers on a Saturday night.
