Garrafon Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Our drummer wants to do Gimme Some Lovin. No problem, it's a pretty straight forward and easy tune. We have been trying to decide how to end the song. Most of the endings we have found on YouTube etc have been not my cup of tea (even excluding the many fade outs, which is about 98% of the endings out there). One band member suggested that we not end it, but go into another song. But we were having troubles coming up with a song with a similar feel that we can make a nice segue into. Any thoughts or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMEGZ Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 why not end it like it starts, one measure, except omit the chord on beat 4? No stinger , IOW.

iLaw Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Wilson Pickett's "In the Midnight Hour" is what popped into my head. Came out about the same time. An easy song to end if you make it the second half of a medley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluMunk Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 My band ends it with 2x through the main riff, ending right on the resolution (melodically: D . . . . C# D C# B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEB Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Go back to the 'So Glad you made it, 'So Glad you made it', part. But instead sing Like a true nature's child, We were born, born to be wild, We can climb so high , I never wanna die. Then kickoff BTBW from the head. I've played BTBW so much I got sort of sick of it but the transition works. "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

We always ended it WITH the stinger and it sounded lame.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 why not end it like it starts, one measure, except omit the chord on beat 4? No stinger , IOW. Played this for many years in cover bands, ending this way. Audience likes it. Side note: no one should play this song unless they have a teenage Steve Winwood as a lead singer.

We always ended it WITH the stinger and it sounded lame. That is a very logical and workable ending for sure, and we may very well end up with it, but I was hoping for something a little more different and exciting.... As for the suggestion on "Im A Man", we decided not to do that song as we thought it might get a litle boring to play, esp if also doing Gimme Some Lovin, Thank you all for the suggestions! It is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicale Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I think the best ending is from Welcome to the Canteen live album You need to hear it. As I recall it kind of has a rim shot followed by a hot guitar lick done 2-3 times. Something a bit different. regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To B3 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Go into that (when played in G) G-Bb-C-Eb part as many times as necessary and end it on a big epic G chord. Another option is to use a Gospel-flavoured ending like the one on Grand Funk's Footstomping Music. Or even better: play a medley of the two songs My drawbars go to eleven.

Bill H. Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've been playing and singing this song forever it seems. The ending I try to talk the band into is going into a hard stop on the 1 after "Every Day" - then after a short drum riff repeat the chorus, ending once again on "Every Day" but holding the chord out until either I or the drummer cuts it. I sang this for years in G but lately it's been "Take it down 1 guys". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrafon Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Lots of good suggestions. Thanks again. I forgot about Welcome to the Canteen. Good album! That's precisely the problem with mp3s etc taking over the world...I sometimes forget about all my CDs sitting in a box in the basement. We may end up with this ending, but I'm thinking a soul man segue could be fun/interesting...especially if people are up and dancing, it may keep them up and dancing.

reidmc Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 yup My Sharona. And another way to get into Born to Be Wild is to use the turnaround drum lick at the head "The Doomer allows the player to do things beyond which are possible without the accessory."

Jeff_D_in_MD Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I saw the Grateful Dead perform Gimme Some Lovin' several times, including the first time they broke it out (at Berkeley Community Theater in 1984). Being the Dead, they usually (always?) segued into another song (or the famous "rhythm devils" two-man drums/percussion improvisation). This video cuts just before whatever the next song was, so it doesn't address the OP's question, but it does have some great footage of the late Brent Mydland on B3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHDId96yVPM Deadheads being who they are, the complete list of shows where the Dead played this song, and links to recordings of the corresponding shows, may be found at: http://www.setlists.net/?songs=gimme+some+lovin Yamaha P2 acoustic, Yamaha P120 digital, Nord Electro 3HP, QSC K10.

I suppose rock gigs always contain a bit of elements wives and gfs wouldn't aprove. Maybe not every time, but from time to time certainly. But my wife doesn't attend my gigs!
