Turn The Page, Bob Seger
Smoking In The Boy's Room, Motley Crew
Have You Ever Seen The Rain, CCR
3 more ACDC songs
Cinnamon Girl, Neil Young,
Brown Sugar, Rolling Stones
Yeah, we're A Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Biker Rock, Dad Rock, 3 piece band
Yes, I got back to work on that recently. I think I'm happy with White Rabbit (Jefferson Airplane). Started working again on Panic Switch (Silversun Pickups) and Pride in the Name of Love (U2). Off the top of my head.
In my book, (Freebird is) as good as any other song from that band or era, why not play it. I do draw the line at McArthur Park though.
THIS THIS THIS THIS
Except that Freebird is one of the best songs of the era.
And if I never hear MP again, it will be farrr to soon.
That's my go to song if I get pulled into karaoke. I don't typically call myself a singer, but I can belt that one out.
Hey, hey, hey, IMcArthur's Park!!! Wouldn't play it at a gig though. We've never learned Freebird but at practice last week broke into, and finished Sweet Home Alabama. Surprisingly difficult for bass and drums to nail.
A lot of Skynyrd is more complex than it sounds when you just listen to the songs as songs.
"Sorry. My amp's a jerk. It refuses to play that song."
The tips were good and the club owner liked it. Ergo...
He had the EHX B9. We did a coupla Booker T tunes; worked great for blues and other [stuff].
Gotta love Booker T & the MGs!

which 3 more AC/DC songs?
What's it matter? They're all the same
(ducks and runs).
Angus even admits it! Or at least fully accepts the humor in that.What's it matter? They're all the same
Well..., if it ain't broke...
Looks like our set list
Thinking of adding “Those were the days” for 2023
and maybe “Til there was you”.No thanks.In my book, it’s as good as any other song from that band or era, why not play it. I do draw the line at McArthur Park though.
We’ve done Rain Drops. It was a hit locally for John Farnham when I was about 10yo.
(The local industry had a thing about redoing oseas songs with locals, I guess because it was easier to promote as they could go in to a TV or radio station to talk about it. Also there was (is?) a local content rule for radio.
Yes, I will consider using my veto if that gets suggested.
Yeah, I’m sure you know but they also had advice from H Vanda & G Young to find their thing and stick to it.
The Easybeats did the stylistic changes thing in the late 60s and they must have regretted it later on.
