What would your setlist be for a solo acoustic show...

[Firedncin8nancy]

if you were playing a gig solo acoustic.. in addition to originals, what cover songs would you play?

[Terje]

That's why I don't do gigs. I wouldn't know how to choose. Maybe this thread will help me. Some DMB, some Counting Crows, some Pearl Jam... oh I don't know.

Guys, help us out!!

Peace, Terje.

I don't play originals cause I'm a chicken shit, but heres one I did for my friends:

Running to Stand Still (U2)
The Stone
Too Much
Captain
Long Road (Pearl Jam)
Two Step
Recently -> Water/Wine -> 40
In Hiding (Pearl Jam)
Everyday -> Long Black Veil
Streets of Philadelphia (Springsteen)
Gravedigger
Say Goodbye - > Walkaways (CC)
Off He Goes (Pearl Jam)

Grace is Gone
Watchtower


Went over alright. They don't know as many DMB and Pearl Jam songs as I do, so I had to make sure I played something they really liked every few songs so I kept their interest and sort of "earned" the right to play stuff I liked. Hence the strategically placed Too Much, Two Step, LBV and Say Goodbye.
