I've played sets that start with Rocket Man and end with Night Moves.

I'm never gonna claim that I can match the original recordings of either of these classics, but the arrangements that I play are ones that tend to get noticed and appreciated. For me the key to Night Moves is to get the breakdown part together. It should turn heads if done right.

Both songs are so ubiquitous and familiar that they tend to be good ones for just about any audience.

As far as songs that probably wouldn't find their way on to most setlists, I'd offer up:

Ashes to Ashes - David Bowie
Chandelier - Sia
Electric Feel - MGMT
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
and
Logical Song - Supertramp

Ones that you'd think would work better:

Hotel California
Heart of Gold
I'm On Fire
and
Like a Rolling Stone

I've played all of these ones too, but never really been satisfied with what I could come up with. Sometimes it is the magic of the original singer's voice or something beautiful yet indefinable in the arrangement that can't be reproduced in a solo performance.
