Thanx MrVegas, I've been playing in this band

(or versions of it) for almost 10 yrs. ! I see a lot of common songs between all of the "Classic Rock" lists. We could all Sub for each other !!

 

Also it's interesting to see the diversity of styles as well.

 

Rock On !

We can pretty much play any song at any time without needing to look at the chart.

 

We've never had a rehearsal.

Pshaw, I wouldn't believe unless you could...

Hmmm...

 

Here's mine (cringing). Mostly "covers", I guess, except the Psalm and Gloria are mine. Oh yeah, and the offertory at the choir mass.

 

Choir Prelude: Jesus, Stand Among Us (hymntune: NORTH COATES)

Entrance: Holy, Holy, Holy (hymntune: NICAEA)

Gloria: Mass in Memory of Fr. William Cunningham (Ricketts)

 

Psalm: Ps. 146, O Praise the Lord, My Soul (Ricketts)

Gospel Acc: Alleluia from Sing a Song to the Lord (Lawton)

Offertory: Come Thou, Almighty King (hymntune: ITALIAN HYMN)

Offertory (choir): Praise the Lord, Sons and Daughters (Ricketts, hymntune: EMMETT)

 

Sanctus: St. Louis Jesuits (Schutte et al)

Memorial Acc: Mass of the Pilgrim Church Acclamation D (Foley)

Great Amen: St. Louis Jesuits (Schutte et al)

Agnus Dei: Mass For the Life of the World (Haas)

 

Communion: How Great Thou Art (hymntune: O STORE GUD)

Communion II: All in All (Jernigan)

Communion III: Ps. 34, Taste & See (Moore)

Recessional I Know That My Redeemer Lives (hymntune: DUKE STREET)

 

Later in the day, we're hosting a choir festival.

 

We'll be reprising the Gloria and the prelude, and also singing Mozart's "Ave Verum Corpus", Doerkson's "Come, Now is the Time to Worship", and Lawton's "The Clouds Veil".

 

I'm sitting in with a couple of gospel choirs too (I'm so eclectic, LOL), not sure their set lists yet. I kick bass on an A-100 when I'm at their church, but our pipe organ doesn't lend itself to that style, so we're using a VK-8 and a second controller for LH bass. Maybe some pedals in the budget next year.

 

If you're near Romeo Sunday at 3pm, stop by: St. Clement Church, 343 S. Main (Old Van Dyke). Bring a can of food - it's a benefit...

I played in an 8 piece horn band. We would often get bored. So...three words:

Interesting request. I don't think I've ever heard two people play the same changes to that tune.

 

Everyone disagrees with the books that it is in and the books disagree with each other.

 

I'll just have to fake it. :D

A great local Boston band in the '60s.

Yup, our original keyboard/bass player (Michael Bany) was a friend of one of the original members of Barry and the Remains. When it came time to name the band, Mike thought it would be fun to use "The Remains" since we are sort of the remains of a bunch of older Cincinnati bands that were around in the 70's and early 80's. He called his buddy from Barry and the Remains and got the ok to use it since we were a local cover band that would pose no competitive threat. In retrospect, it was a very bad idea - especially since Barry and the Remains are active once again.

 

Mike left the group in 1988, at which time I stepped into his role. His life ended tragically a couple of years later when he was shot and killed while walking to his car after a gig. It was a huge news story in Cincinnati.

 

Speaking of Cincinnati and Barry and the Remains - they opened for the Beatles at Crosley Field in Cincy (I forget the year)...

 

So, that's the history of our name in a nutshell. I can honestly say that I had nothing to do with selecting it! :)

Good grief! Is there anyone here who DOESN'T do Brown-eyed Girl??? Oh well, a cliche is only a cliche because it's popular...

 

Our song list is here (and you can see some old favorites!)

 

But there are a few less-hackneyed ones, including the Jack Johnson, Ryan Adams, Smashmouth and Dandy Warhols ones.

 

Cheers

Hey Rowbee & Phil W,

I never noticed before but it seams like music from the USA is very popular with UK bands.

Am I right? If so, why?

Rocky

 

Yeah Rocky, it's pretty much the same all over the world (except North Korea and some notable exceptions). American music (and especially (but not exclusively) African-American music) is pretty much the popular music of the 20th/21st Century. You can go anywhere and hear American music. Each country/region has its' own styles and artists but the cultural dominace of the USA is unquestionable.

For example, if you listen to West African popular music from the 70s, the influence of visiting artists like Santana and especially James Brown is plain to see. In the UK charts, about half of the artists are American (that's a wild guess as I haven't looked at the charts for years!)

In the cover bands I have played in, the great majority of the covers were originally recorded by US artists. Even the English artists like the Stones that we cover play in an American music genre.

Currently, I'm in a band that covers a lot of English material (Bowie, the Beatles, Marc Bolan, the Shadows). But each of those artists was undeniably influences by American music.

 

There are still big differences in the type of tunes requested and the types of covers popular on each side of the Atlantic though.

Thanks Phil, that set is great fun to play and it always seems to get the audience moving. I try and play with that band as often as I can, although not as often as I'd like given the distance.

 

Your list is HUGE!! Do you play marathon 12 hour sets??!!

Now theres three of you in a band, youre like a proper band. Youre like the policemen.

I should make my current band read this thread. I sent them a set list of a band similar to us, comprised of 30+ songs and they declared me mad :freak:

 

Now, my grand plan is to keep adding songs to our current set list and not dropping any, until we end up with 40 - 50 songs :grin:

 

Here's our current set list:

 

Bill Haley - Rock this joint

J.R. Cash - Cocaine blues

Elvis Presley - Burnin love

Elvis Presley Hound Dog

Bill Haley & His Comets - Shake, Rattle & Roll

Buddy Holly Oh Boy

Carl Perkins - Blue Suede Shoes

Johnny Cash - Folsom prison

Elvis Presley - Blue Moon Of Kentucky

Stray Cats - Rock This Town

Elvis Presley - Thats all right

Stray Cats - Stray Cat Strut

Bill Haley - Rock Around the clock

Chuck Berry Johnny B. Goode

Queen vs Beastie Boys Intergalactic

Frankie Laine Ghost Riders In The Sky

Johnny Cash Cry Cry Cry

Mike Ness Devil In Mss Jones

Elvis Presley Stuck On You

 

And last rehearsal we added :

 

Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits (likely to be dropped again)

The Kids - There Will Be No Next Time

Motörhead - Ace Of Spades

 

What a difference with the last set list I posted in this thread :)
