hey joe...
I'm in a 5 piece blues/rock band in Denver and we always close our 2nd or 3rd set with a killer performance of the Hendrix version of "Hey Joe" and we add a very powerful dual guitar sequence. Kind of a southern rock way of using the ol' two guitar lead thing. It builds into a strong ending and we always get a loud resounding reaction from the audience. Our covers of "Sultans of Swing", "Boom Boom" (John Lee Hooker) and "Middle of the Road" also receive an excellent reaction. Two of my personal favorites however are "I'm Tired" by Savoy Brown ( I just have always liked the song and people seem to really get into the groove on it) and I (if I must say so myself) do a pretty mean cover of "Room to Move" by John Mayall. I must admit, there are a couple of tunes that I dread seeing crawl up the set list however, we play these just because people want to hear them, i.e. "Heart of Gold" (boring), "The One I Love" (equally Boring) and "Wicked Game" (a real sleeper to play, but I do like Chris Issak).

People seem to like it when I play a song you would not expect a girl to play-
like Pinball Wizard, or Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull - or any Led Zeppelin Ninjato, I love (I play) that Arlo tune too (Coming into Los Angeles) Chicago Sandy, I REALLY wanna hear you play Joan Osborne ona dulcimer.. which did you say you played? St Theresa? That'd ne cool!

I rarely do gigs nowadays but not long ago I had the best cheers when I plaY:
"More Than words"- Extremes (I guess the intro to the song is catchy!) "Fast Car"- Tracy Chapman ( I don't know but maybe because it is originally sung by a woman, people get a kick when a man sings it. And again, there is something to the intro of this song). I took me a loooong while before I can play this in public. This song is so synchopated its crazy!

Stealin' - Memphis Jug Band
Rub Alchohol Blues - trad Last time my band, The Downtown County Band, did Rub Alchohol Blues was at a Christams party and it really got the people's attention.... We do Stealin and people will ask us to do it again, every time. We don't. . . . but sometimes its tempting.

Two songs I've learned due to requests were Superman - Five for Fighting and Hero - Enrique Iglesias. The cafe folk like the songs more than I do but they keep requesting them. The wife says if I learn one of the Hero verses in Spannish I'll get better tips from the ladies.

Sorry, I got off topic as I was reading through the thread. I guess the song that stuns an acoustic crowd when I play it is Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull. I only play it about once a year but it always gets a big response.

"Now you're messin' with a Son of a B****" - Nazareth
Is that the real title? You know the one. Gotta save it for the last song of the last drunken set, cause the vocal chords take a real beating. 'Cat
