End of the night

[Ricesnaps]

Just got me thinking....

It seems reciently I have a fairly standard set of tunes I finish the night with at most gigs, based on a fairly bad experience at a club back in 1990 - thats a long story if you want to know, I generally end the night with the smoochy stuff, but it seems I have a fairly bullet proof set list for this. What does everyone else do at the end of the night.

For me, it starts a little like this - 15 mins from the end:

1. I've had the time of my life - Dirty Dancing
2. Jack Johnson - Better together

** insert a selection of really slow stuff **

And finally, depending on the night, we finish really slow or plump for Mr Rat Pack himself singing New York New York!

A few regular ones....

Real Thing - Can't Get By Without You
Temptations - My Girl
Madness - It Must Be Love
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - Time Of My Life
Frankie - New York
Gerry & Pacemakers - You'll Never Walk Alone

[Larry B Entertainment]

A few of mine are...

Leanne Rhymes - How do i live
Enrique - Hero
Atomic Kitten - Whole again
Phil collins - Against all odds...I never play steve brooksteins version
Shayne ward - Thats my goal

and for a really big finish...

Robbie - Angels - People still love it

[BeerFunk]

I dunno, I tend to find people don't want slow dances, as they're all still hyper and up for it! :teeth:

I normally try to fit one in though, but I'm no good at picking slow dances - so I just go for the tried and tested like How Deep Is Your Love, Love Is All Around etc etc

depnds on the type of gig but popular ones for me are

november rain - guns n roses
sylvias mother - dr hook
with a little help from my friends - joe ****er
imagine - john lennon
stairway to heaven - led zepplin
dont wanna miss a thing - aerosmith
changes - black sabbath
amazed - lonestar
love hurts - nazareth

to name a few - always going thru collection to refind some good old smooches

but i find they only want 1 these days and often want to carry on afterwards

Which is EXACTLY why I slow it down at the end

Me too! :)
As me to tell you the story about my first ever night in a nightclub (Panthers in Bolton, which I am sure is no longer there). Following that, I will NEVER ever get a crowd going at the end EVER again! :omg:

[Discodaz]

Goodnight blah blah blah...

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles (or It's Over - Roy Orbison)
New York New York - Frank Sinatra (depending on crowd)
(Slow) If You're Looking For A Way Out - Odyssey
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life........

On variations on the theme.

For a Wedding, I like to end the night with the B&G's first dance if they are still around and it's not a bizarre track.

Goodnight blah blah blah...

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles (or It's Over - Roy Orbison)

Hit The Road or It's Over?

Just looked up Hermes House Band on iTunes and neither came up.

The Weather Girls did a nice version, but I still prefer Ray Charles.
