I like it. I might pull out the Journey songs, personally, but there are a bunch of other popular tunes to replace those with anyway. This is a good example of a set list made up of songs everyone knows without it having to have overplayed standards in it.

I guess the big question is, were you successful with this set list?

No seeing how this is weird or all that different than anything else out there. I've played many of those songs in bands at one time or another. Good stuff though.

Up in Northeast wisconsin it was pretty wierd to mix all these songs apparently.

We were moderately successful on the covers, but nothing like or blues band, which was pretty successful, but were still more rock'n'roll than blues, at least to me.
