May have been done before, but what cover would you guys play as a final song in the set to bring the curtain down? Something to take things to the top notch and go out with a bang...

    we always play rocking when we stop the set. Or sometimes All along the watchtower (played a bit like U2 did, but then with tags in it from pearl jam, rolling stones, the doors, u2, jimi hendrix, ..... )

    Unless you're a cover band, I wouldn't finish with a cover. I'd finish with your strongest orginal song so people remember you.

    Its our cd launch so we'll be playing a fair selection of originals to people who are familiar with out stuff, just after something rocking and fun to finish on. Im thinking of something along the lines of baba orielly
    Check out our first song off it... http://www.myspace.com/teamillumni
    Let me know what you think.

    Rockin' In The Free World, just fuckin jam it out.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    See I would disagree,

    Personally I would play Rockin' In The Free World...

    I think that would get people's attention way more than one of your original songs...

    I'm basing this on if nobody knows who you are, and wouldn't know any of your tunes :)

    Yeah play your own songs through the show obviously but id be inclined to finish on a cover.
    RITFW is a good choice.... as any PJ fans know.

    How bout AC/DC - Back in Black? \m/ lol.

    I think I would end my set with either "Lunchbox" by Marylin Manson or "Crossroads" by Cream.

    Doing "Crossroads" would rock! You could jam out to that song for ever!

    depends on the venue, RITFW is a classic of course, or just to sound redundant, Yellow Ledbetter

    but for a small little pub, the best song is Bugger Off, irish pub music at its best

    Anyone for Whipping?

    Don't mean to push but I'm being shoved.
    I'm just like you think we've had enough.
    I can't believe a thing they want us to.
    We all got scars they should have them too.

    They're whipping.

    haha whys that? so we could jam to those songs?

    Roadhouse Blues I never learned the guitar part because I could actually sing that song pretty well for some reason....I played guitar but I only threw in some chords here and there...but all the other songs I play lead for so maybe i should actually learn it haha

    but Bring It On Home is my favorite closer...the way the intro of the song starts gets peoples momentum up and then it kicks in...and then to close it out it gets really slow again

    I usually do some kind of medley on acoustic, ending with GNR's Patience.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Best show closer I've ever seen was "The Real Me" by The Who.

    I like the who idea. See Me, Feel Me would work as well. Especially with the woodstock version, that is bloody intense.
