UNPLANNED DOWNTIME: 12th Oct 23:45
5th Birthday **Gig and Acoustic** setlist
Legionreturns
Frets: 7962
in Events
Right... to start with this is just information gathering and I'll collate into a meaningful list and plan once populated.
The evening plan is to decamp to a local bowling club, where @Sasquatch_Bob and I will have already setup a full backline including drums, PA and amps.
The first "set" will be an open mic acoustic set which at this stage I'm guessing will be around 45 mins to an hour. Given that we've already had a lot of interest in this, I'm going to say each person that wants to do this can do 1 or 2 songs max, but I may revise that to 1 if we get lots more. You'll have a guitar lead and a mic, standard open mic setup, but with the option of enlisting a (quiet!) drummer to back you. It's up to individuals to arrange this themselves with fellow jammers.
During the acoustic set the BBQ should be serving (Bring burger and beer money!).
Then I guess we are aiming for a full band set of between 10 and 12 songs. The aim being to keep this as gig real as possible so minimal gear changeovers. During the day room 2 will be dedicated to gig practice and we'll decide between us on one or two pedal boards to be used, with the amps being constant. We can also mess with song keys/ tunings and arrangements to get them slick and in singers ranges. We'll need a drummer and bassist to volunteer for each song and again minimise gear changes.
Please indicate in this thread what you want to do, with the prefix "B" for band and "A" for acoustic.
I'm going to assume that acoustic performers will not want dedicated practice time in the room, but if you want beats you're welcome to grab some time in room 3 if you manage to enlist a drummer.
Any questions, requests and offers for thumps and beats welcome.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youa) Do you want separate comments for [A]coustic and [B]and responses?
b) Is it one or the other, or potentially both?
c) Will the Band setlist fall out of what goes well at the studio earlier in the day, or be completely separate? (Just trying to get my head around time, and pre-meet learning time)
The not-so-hidden sub-text being I'm up for doing something in the acoustic set, as it ticks off a challenge-to-self to do an open mic with the advantage that no-one actually knows me, but I'd also be up to band involvement if appropriate and able to get up to an acceptable level of competence on whatever the song(s) are. But I don't want to be gauche and trample over time-honoured FB traditions of which I'm ignorant.
Acoustic stuff, the assumption is that you know your pick and are happy to play and sing it.
All on 1 post is fine.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIn which case ...
A is for Acoustic
Yes please to a slot so I can nail my "do an open mic before your 50" with plenty of time to spare.
Not sure what songs yet - possibly a couple of originals if i have enough confidence in them. If they're covers it's likely to be simple stuff (Bad Moon Rising, Stuck in the middle with you, Believer etc.) - if someone blags all of those first I've got some more obscure ones up my sleeve (Jon Foreman, Martyn Joseph).
B is for Band
I'm definitely up for being involved. No particular song suggestions, but happy to sit in anything simple/middling in a rhythm capacity, or pull simple inaccurate bass duties. Will sing as long as it's a song in my register and I have a guitar to hide behind, so that might be best left for a last minute decision after the afternoon jams
Failing that I suggest Ooo Arr just a little bit by Gina G and no limit by 2 unlimited. Guaranteed stage smashers.
Happy to bass/drums/guitar and what not.
I can see a lot of us thinking in the night of the gig - "why not just play what we played in the studio". Then we know the line-up, we've run through the song before, etc. Not that it will be exactly the same set list, but it seems sensible to have at least some repetition.
Also, being entirely selfish, I'll not be jamming on the Saturday as I'll be too busy but would like to play/ sing on something in the evening.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youWas as just wondering whether it was ok to put the same songs in this list as the studio one given that for those of us doing both sessions it's sensible to repeat the songs.
If if it is..
Shoot me down if this sounds too ambitious but it might me a nice transition between the acoustic and electrics sets to play
Time Of Your Life - Green Day
into
Basket Case - Green Day
and if we can get a band together who have the courage to attempt
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - Green Day
We'd need a tame acoustic player for TOYL and Boulevard. Form an orderly queue...
Or I Hate My Life by Theory of a Deadman (although not very family friendly if that's an issue).
Otherwise it’s going to be like every other open mic night and I don’t need to do a 300 mile round trip for that .
With that said , I’m a competent ‘all rounder’ I play mainly rhythm guitar, bass(I even have an acoustic bass if required) , can play drums or a Cajon for acoustic stuff and can sing backing vocals or lead vox at a push too (more pop/soul suited stuff than rock though).
Im happy to help anyone out , in any way .
Id also like to break my open mic duck but would prefer to partner up and perhaps do something out of my comfort zone .
Cheers
Stu
Equally happy to let someone who actually knows Green Day do it too
EDIT: listened to it - yeah, that'd be fine too, it's a piece of piss (oh hubris)
As for band, I can do any GNR/Van Halen etc song with advance notice or let's do a Kenny Loggins one.....

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youIt's perfectly acceptable to pick songs you're doing at the jam day, and I'm sure Mr @Bridgehouse would do his best to ensure you get a run through on the Saturday if you want to gig a song from the main list. That's certainly my hope for Zombie!

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you@Luttis also suggested Fight For Your Right to Party, which would be a laugh.
Is beer sorted for the evening event? (I'm a partner in a beer company, might be able to help).
Also I'm not a meat eater, do I need to bring/sort out something? (As I think you guys are doing a BBQ).
Ignore that no I won't, event is more important.
They're doing the bbq, I just have to give them numbers. Happy to mention lettuce munchers, and once they've stopped laughing they may be able to get some of their foods food for you. It's smack in the middle of Beef farming country...
