If you could only play one song...

[Wesley R]

Louie Louie by The Kingsmen…every Solfeggio frequency of the earth’s essence and eternity is contained in that chord progression and captured in that moment, and I could also find out the real lyrics, ancient knowlege that has otherwise been suppressed.

Do you have the King Louie album? It is all Louie songs. I loved that album, and of course the song.

 

[No Malarky]

I chose any one of the songs my friends and I have created being played on my back porch.

 

[juancaminos]

Oh Boy, Moonage Daydream, War Pigs, Manic depression! How about Lou Reed Rock and Roll Animal for the live version of Sweet Jane!!

 

[Aqualung60]

Dixie Dregs "Cruise Control"

 

[Low Down Brown]

Excellent thread!

Choice 1: "Thelonius Beck" with Government Mule at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

or

Choice 2: Mingus' "Haitian Fight Song" with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at the LC.

Louie Louie, but with Toots Hibbert and the Maytals. Probably the kickinest version of that ditty ever done by mankind. I'd post a link, but I'm a technical dope

but I do prefer the Kingsmen.

 

[Crash 56]

Probably Roxy Music, 1975 version, Playing "End of the Line".... Their bass players were always switching out, so no one would notice.....

 

[HardNHeavy]

back to the front - metallica or some rush song...so many to choose from

 

[Al T.]

Probably be Stagger Lee with Dr John and Herman Earnest at some shaky NOLA saloon.
I miss the good Dr.

 

[Bertr]

'Teenage kicks' in Belfast in 1978.

 

[Wicked G]

Ten Years Gone by Led Zeppelin or Juniors Eyes by Black Sabbath. I've never played those songs with anybody so why not Zeppelin or Sabbath.

 

[Topkat13]

When I first started playing bass I couldn’t play one song. Now after years of playing, sadly, I can play only one song at a time.

 

[friskinator]

"Three Days," Jane's Addiction, the Tabernacle in Atlanta.

 

[friskinator]

Asking Nathan Watts to sit out while I play "Sir Duke." At The Masquerade in Atlanta.

The old Masquerade is sadly now gone. I saw a million shows there when it existed and even gigged there once.

 

[J Wilson]

'A Little Help From My Friends' with Ringo and the All-Starr Band or 'Lady Madonna' with Paul. Or if I could sneak in past Donald, 'Pretzel Logic'.

 

[Deleted member 394181]

1983, I'm 21 again. "Balls to the Wall" with Accept. I know a little German too.
Fun song! My last band I kind of insisted on playing it, every gig/practice.

 

[Hot Rats]

A 30-minute version of The Warning. Black Sabbath. Hammersmith Odeon. Long on the jams, not so much standing there watching Tony solo....Then I would try and talk them into Rat Salad/Fairies Wear Boots.

Oh dear. That is sad. Knew it only by reputation. Friends lived near Marietta, raved about it even more than the Claremont Lounge.

Alive or no longer with us? If it was anybody even those who are gone, I'd probably say Rush, and something from moving pictures or permanent waves.... and not the obvious choices (yyz/spirit of radio) although those would be great.... but red barchetta would be amazing, or jacob's ladder or entre nous (or anything else from my favorite rush album Permanent Waves).... something not the usual first choice but still great music.
