Let Them Eat Gak – Halloween Special

My musical selections tonight were based on both the style of the bands playing, and (later in the night) the nature of this particularly spooky occasion, hence the bizarre nature of the setlist later in the night.

Ray Parker Jr. – Ghostbusters

….and since that ‘go home’ song didn’t work, I ended up resorting to:

Mötley Crüe – Shout at the Devil

Nightrain

Here’s my setlist from Nightrain. Be assured it is only a temporary deviation from the norm for me, not a sudden change in direction, but I did enjoy it, I do like ALL these songs and I would do it a few more times if the chance came up.

8:30pm-9:15pm – Album-Oriented Rock

No point playing the big anthems before everyone’s had a drink or two, so I decided to play what might otherwise be called ‘The Old Grey Whistle Set’.

Rainbow – Long Live Rock’n’Roll
ZZ Top – Sharp Dressed Man
Journey – Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)

Had some beers and some live music, so no messin’ now. Solid gold rock anthems all the way.
