Songs That Get The Crowd Going

[rogerch]

Looking for some imput.

So, what are the songs that get your crowds back in focus with your show?

I'm looking for the song names that usually work no matter where you play.

Songs that you rely on when it seems the show is going off course.

Thanks

Roger

I have to agree with the 60's medley - I did it as a sing-along at a charity gig for children with cancer - went down very well.

Also:
I'm a believer
To good to be true (we do a disco version)
Sweet Home Alabama (probabaly because of the intro)

My husband is a very nice guitarist, and he does killer versions of Black Magic Woman and Still Got The Blues - definitely brings back attention when it's wandering.

Over in this part of the globe, songs like "I just called to say I love you ", Careless Whispers" "Sacrifice", "Cant help falling in love" "Red Red Wine, still makes heads turn !!!
Yes, Black Magic Woman and Sweet Home Alabama gets good response too. Most of the Brian Adams songs are very popular. Rock n Roll songs of the King, Elvis, always get the crowd going.
Guess what ? I havent tried the MidiMart 60s Medley ......(I hang my head in shame !!!)

Build me up buttercup or Halfway to paradise Definitely a crowd pleaser

[doodie]

Some tunes that we play that people get up to dance too no matter where we play are "Dancing on a saturday night","Rave on","Does your mother know your out" To name a few.

[thingyy]

Elenore,Glad All Over,Twist And Shout,Beautifull Sunday,Rock This Town,Itchycoo Park,Most 60/70s British hits with answering or reply lines.

Rock & Roll hard edge stuff like ELO's Rock & Roll is King, Chuck Berry's Pulp Fiction classic You Never Can Tell, disco a-la Barry White's First Last and Everything and of course the old Red Hot Salsa, gets everybody, well all the ladies groovin' and movin' on the ole dance floor!!.
