Take your pick from half of the Bryan Adams repertoire...

...

or better yet - swap out your tired old "Clapped out Clapton" for THIS ONE:

 

[40Hz]

Do it with the extended intro from the live version:



This one always goes over well:

 

[Hevy T]

Free/In to the Mystic by Zac Brown Band

beautiful medley

 

[AndyPanda]

best slow ballad ever (if your singer can manage it) is "for the love of you" by the Isley Brothers.

Wonderful Tonight is a great tune. Wow.

 

[PanRap]

david bowie ashes to ashes or wild is the wind (or if you want more sleazy something like lady grinning soul)
elvis costello - i want you
nick cave - where the wild roses grow

 

[Gerben]

 

[interp]

Three Times a Lady

 

[Matt B]

What a wonderful world- Louis Armstrong

 

[Groove Doctor]

Easy - The Commodores from 1977.
Faith No More cover in 1992.

I don't have any suggestions for you, but I agree that Wonderful Tonight needs to be permanently put out of its misery in all formats, for all times.

Surefire way to loose fans is to refuse to play a song they want to hear. If they request it, and you can play it, you should.

The Sachmo arrangement of "What a Wonderful World".

Great song and it lends itself to solos.

That is my 2nd choice. First choice? "Wonderful Tonight". If you like working, play stuff that people want to hear.

I'd be looking for a replacement for the bass player.

Have to agree, play what you like in your bedroom. Your job is to keep the drinks flowing and the crowd happy, which in turns makes the owners happy and keeps you booked.

I do Why Worry by Dire Straits, similar dance time but lacks in public recognition.

Love Bites, many women get all excited at a Def Leppard tune.

Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop is a nice bellyrubber. But I agree with the others who say play Wonderful Tonight.
