More Set List Casualties
"So who's playing the bass on this one then?"
Out : Wonderwall (Oasis)
Out : One (U2)
I suggested that we cut Wonderwall from our set last night.
There were many reasons for this
- Only I know it - therefore it seems a bit selfish to force everyone else to learn it
- It means we have to swap around on instruments
- I might well sound like a strangled cat on the night - I need to get the old confidence level up for the singing.
- I would have to additionally take my guitar and small amp
- The small amp isn't up to the task with the fully loaded volumes
- We sound our best on more jaunty numbers
The list goes on but I think it's the best thing
I reckon we can learn 2 "pub band" songs in the same time it would take to learn Wonderwall to even a passable standard.
So that's lightened the load for me going forwards AND it means I can concentrate on being the bass player - which I really enjoy.
I don't think we're going to learn "One" either for the initial gig - the return would not justify it really. We need to be tooled up with party songs.
