Joy!
I'm off with m'lady to all day/night Midsummer Party on an island outside Gothenburg soon to celebrate the longest day with them. I've been co-opted into a scratch band to do a one-off covers gig for the occasion.
Having been immersed in planning for the two tours in Germany and Scotland and the north (and getting close to having had enough of it) this has proved to be a fun, refreshing change. Here's a list I've sent to the guys with suggestions for the set.
What great songs; what great memories.
I think it's Mavis Staples who takes the second verse in The Weight - whoever it is, she's stunning. Fantastic harmonies in the chorus of The Band's rendition of Forever Young.
There's early solo McCartney, The Kinks, CCR, The Beatles (of course), some fave pop songs... well, you can see below.
Paul McCartney: Every Night
Beach Boys: And Then I Kissed Her
Manfred Mann: Pretty Flamingo
The Beatles: If I Needed Someone
The Beatles: Norwegian Wood
The Beatles: You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising
Crowded House: Private Universe
Crowded House: Four Seasons in One Day
The Kinks: Days
Unit 4+2: Concrete and Clay
The Band (Dylan): Forever Young
The Band: The Weight
The Band: The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
