Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
some deep purple, stones and a quit heavy interpretation of Dylan's KNOCKING ON HEAVENS DOOR, not G&Roses, but YOUR interpretation, works always, because, older & younger people know the song, early sixties (Bob), and early nineties (Axl+Slash)

Depends on the crowd. My kind of crowd a country waltz usually works. Tennessee Waltz and such.

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
If you are listed with other bands, I think you have to "show" more, the skills and that Ballads, Blues, Rock AND COUNTRY can go hand in hand.

Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
Any juke box in the Southern States will have a mandatory selection of ZZ Top and Lenard Skinnard! Also some Hank Williams Jr...
Middleaged Redneck sorta guy who refuses to grow up...passion for music, especially Southern Rock but like bout everything cept Gangsta/Hip Hop. Collect guitars, mandolins, and love to ride Harleys.
Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
Any one of the various Bob Seger rockers...or just about any ZZ Top tune. We used to open with "Tush" then kick off Seger's "Come to Papa"
Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
tennesee border by hank williams works wonders.
Re: Stone Cold Crowd Pleasers
Sweet Child O Mine, Paradise City, by Gun N Roses. Or try any Red Hot Chili Peppers, songs like "Suck My Kiss", or "Californication".
Some older rock stuff by Cheap Trick, Boston, REO Speedwagon, or Journey tends to work well.
