My old bandmates and I got together and decided to do a classic rock show.. The setlist we came up with is one of the most intimidating documents I've ever seen. There are 30 songs so far, the highlights are
Zomby Woof - Frank Zappa
Tom Sawyer - Rush
Subdivisions - Rush
Home At Last - Steely Dan
Kid charlemange - Steely Dan
Hey Joe - Hendrix
Frankenstein - Edgar winter
Good Times Bad Times - Zeppelin
The Abbey Road Medley - Beatles
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
There are also a few from ZZ Top, The Who, and more Hendrix, Steely Dan, and Zeppelin that aren't listed above.
I've got to learn all these really hard songs. I don't think its be too much of a problem because I love all these songs. But the hardest part will be getting everything to feel right and sit right. I'm not crunched for time, but there isn't a lot of room in the future for full band rehearsals. I'm kind of freaking out haha
Any of you guys have any tips for channeling your inner Bonham, Mitchell, Moon, Ringo, and Peart and in the same gig?? (edit - oh, yea and Purdie!) lol.. I'm stuck inbetween learning these tunes note for note, and playing them with more of my own style. I'd rather put my own spin on things, but like I said, getting the feel right and doing the original justice is always important, and to do that sometime you have to learn the fills and comping ideas note for note.
For those who can play those songs well, any tips, or anything I should know? ... kind of a weird question, I'm in for it with this setlist.
