Or how about some Queen? We will rock you has the stamp clappy bits and is easy enough to sing along with. Although it'd be a bit odd telling the crowd how you're about to rock them and then just walking off and saying goodnight 😂 We do Hey Jude in my acoustic duo. The perfect song to finish off for us - get them all singing the ‘Na na.....’ section, firstly with us , then on their own (usual thing) and finish off together. Rousing but slow enough for people not to get too excited and ideal for those who are a bit tired and emotional. Never thought I’d miss playing it like I am right now either. 😷 Quote

My last band did a lot of AC/DC and the vocalist had it nailed... don't think the current singer could quite do it... he does a very creditable Marc Bolan, though... Hot Love - such a massive singalong at the end Quote
stewblack Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 If insufficiently anthemic I can heartily recommend Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger. I dep for a wedding band and this is how they end every gig. never, ever fails Quote

Japhet Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Rockin' in the Free World usually does the trick. Quote
steantval Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 We usually do this one for an encore. Sharp Dressed Man - ZZ Top Quote
Muppet Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Another Hey Jude here. Which we had made our own locally, until another band started to do a very similar version, so we're looking to swap it out now..... Quote
Geek99 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 If I were in a gigging band I’d do that Bryan Adams and mel C song; one of my female colleagues is in a working band and says it always goes down a storm Quote
Graham Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 We would typically end with Under The Bridge or Champagne Supernova - anthemic, sing-along numbers which importantly, are slower. They calm the punters down and let's them know the night's over in a way a Sweet Caroline or a Sex On Fire doesn't. Still doesn't stop some folk from demanding more as you dismantle the drum kit and strip down the PA of course, but most people get the idea. Quote

upside downer Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) The Who's My Generation was how we always ended. Good crowd singalong, they always shouted the f word over the 'f-f-f-fade away' line and there's the noisey outro where you can thank them for coming or whatever and milk the applause. And there's the bass solo, too. Edited October 10, 2020 by upside downer Quote
Roger2611 Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 We always finished up with Sit Down by James, it always went down really well....the band veto'd my suggestion of Baby F**k Off by the Electric Chairs for some reason Quote
6feet7 Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Cheesy but we always finish with the Beatles Let it Be which segues (which is when the thank you for coming/introduce the band etc is done) into the chorus of Hey Jude. Always goes down an absolute storm. Edited October 10, 2020 by 6feet7 Quote
