hmm...that's quite a range there! But if you can play them good the audience would probably like it.

What is the audience BTW? Not a church, I can tell that!

i think you'd be better off with a stronger and more focused approach towards a specific type of music. The above strikes me as too diverse.

How long is the set? The tunes are definitely eclectic, but could be pulled off together. Unsolicited suggestion: you should do "All Day and All of the Night" straight into the Doors' "Hello, I love you". Badass medley/transition.

Seems like a decent concise set of catchy British rock

8 songs x 5 minutes per song = 40 minutes plus a few of minutes for time between songs = 45 minutes set plus 15 minute break.

Just extend any song that's shorter than 5 minutes.

The only thing I might suggest is cutting out one of the AC/DC tunes (I'd cut "Sin City", myself) and doing something else, like maybe a Pink Fairies tune (Kings of Oblivion era) or something by Slade.

thats about a third of a set! average 3 mins per song. nice tunes though, maybe too eclectic. I do agree with rocdoc: the tunes dont hang together too well. whats your lineup?

All Day And All The Night?- not something I would put in my setlist, but that's just personal preference.
you should definitely add on a better song to end the set. may I suggest Carry On Wayward Son, Free Bird, or (most preferably) Stairway to Heaven.

Good set. Around here crowds appreciate some diversity unless you are playing a bikie bar

If you were good, I'd pay $5 to see your band.

Interesting and diverse group of songs. As long as you put your own spin on them it should sound good.

I'd pass on seeing a band that played those songs. It's not that I don't like them, well some of them I don't but, its more of me being sick of hearing most of them now.
