Topic: 60's Rock in Kansas City

Hello, people of Chordie!  I'm proud to say my band The Fade Aways played our first gig recently.
I've posted our video of San Francisco Bay Blues and our practice demos of Little Sister and
I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better. 

Check us out:

Also, if anyone has recommendations on a couple of good 60's jam songs, please let me know.
We have a lot of short songs in the set list. Thanks!!

Sounding good.  I like it.

You can see all my video covers on [url]http://www.youtube.com/bensonp1000[/url]
I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: 60's Rock in Kansas City

Here are some 60s tunes that are good for jamming:

Crosstown Traffic
Heard it through the grapevine
Like a Rolling Stone
Cissy Strut
While My Guitar Gently Weeps (look up Jeff Healy's version live at Montreaux. Awesome.)
On Broadway (Check out George Benson's version)
The Weight
All Along the Watchtower
Born Under a Bad Sign

If you're looking to jam why not take a couple of songs with similar feels or in the same key and write some jams in to them?

Thanks, Dino.  I learned the song during the Unplugged craze -- Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney both recorded versions of SF Bay Blues.

If you can handle a song from 1970 consider Moondance. smile

Van Morrison is one my favorite singers.  We were talking about doing Wild Night before we changed bass players.
