I play with six different band configurations, all of them play some of the same songs, some completely different. I've found I'm fine with songs I learned decades ago but memorizing new material is a challenge so I use Pages with my iPad. I found I can make custom set lists, look up requests on the fly and can build folders for each band.

My bass player teased me about it until recently when he went blank singing Emerson Lake and Palmer's "From the Beginning." I find I don't read the chart in the traditional sense, just glance down from time to time for word prompts to start verses. Helps me quite a bit and the iPad, mounted right on my boom mic, is pretty unobtrusive.

What ever gets you through the night...
