What is the LATEST riff you are working on?

I'm working on "Love Child" and "Reflections" mostly. I have a gig next weekend with Mary Wilson from The Supremes, and her charts are almost note-for-note transcriptions of Jamerson's bass lines done by Allan Slutsky, but she jazzes up the tempos. Needless to say, I won't be playing them with one finger!
Chart gig or memorize?

Played Welcome to the Fold by Filter last night for the first time just for fun because I like the song. I nailed it in about 5 min.

I have some long gigs with my tribute band coming up that I need to go over some songs that we haven't played in a couple of months. Guess I better get on those instead of playing everything else but them.
 
"For once in my life" by Stevie in the key of C (down a perfect fourth from the original key) for a gig this Sunday which is a challenge. "Sit Next to me" by Foster the People for a gig this Friday. I can't keep playing all the same old classic rock songs. I'm so sick of them! Also there are several original songs with some artists that I'm working on.
