Just curious to see what all the guys here in cover bands song lists are. So please share for all of us to see.

We play a mix of originals and covers. Covers we will likely play tonight are:

Sex & Candy -- Marcy's Playground
Children Of The Grave -- Sabbath
Bad Time -- BTO
Bitch -- The Stones
Girl Don't Tell Me -- The Beach Boys
Surrender -- Cheap Trick
Creep -- Radiohead
El Paso -- The Gourds
Rocky Mountain Way -- Joe Walsh
I'm A Man -- Spencer Davis Group
You're Gonna Miss Me -- The 13th Floor Elevators
Sympathy For The Devil -- Stones
Take It On The Run -- REO Speedwagon
Burning Love -- Elvis
Border Lord -- Kris Kristofferson
Melissa -- The Allman Brothers
Can't Find My Way Home -- Steve Winwood

Among others. I need to work up the set list for tonight. We picked up a bunch of new covers last night, and are bringing in two new originals.

Cherie :-)
 
And we have a yellow flag on the field for mis-attributing a classic rock song. "Black Betty" had nothing to do with Nazareth. It was by the Ram Jam band and the album version is a monument to excess.

That's the #1 thing I hate about playing covers, actually- when people rquest songs by the wornga rtist. It's usally something benign like " I like a lot of Motown: Van Morrison, Aretha Franklin, James Brown" and then I say "None of thsoe artists ever recorded for Motown" and they say "Whatever."

Or, "Do you guys know "Build Me Up Buttercup" by the Temptations?"- and then they want to know why my eyes are rolling back up in my head and I'm getting woozy.
