So, those of us with gigs....besides Auld Lang Syne, what was the FIRST song you played after midnight.

Me......(don't laugh, because we actually do a pretty killin' version)....
"Love Stoned" Justin Timberlake.

So, post them up!

I can't remember, it was either:
Ain't too Proud to Beg - The Rollin Stones/Temptations

OR

Johnny B. Goode - Chuck Berry

Which one was first escapes me right now, I'll probably remember tomorrow while cutting a slice of cheese or something stupid like that.

At home, I played New Years Day by U2. I shouldn't have to explain myself.

I found a transcription of AFI's "Totalimmortal", and played that in my bedroom. If we're talking about with an ensemble, then it will hopefully be "So What" tomorrow with the school jazz band.

I knew it was a couple minutes to midnight, so the band did Living After Midnight, followed by Fight for Your Right to Party. Don't know which one was the first of 2011.

Whatever was next on the setlist after we interrupted to play Auld Lang Syne. I think it was Gimme Three Steps.

If it had been my last band, though, it definitely would have been Livin' After Midnight. We must have played that about one MILLION times while we were together.

We played "La Grange" up until the countdown, then "Auld Lang Syne" while they stomped on balloons, then we took a break. After the break, first tune of the last set was "Rock This Town".
