I'm ever upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

any of you have the AC/DC Live at Donington and Family Jewels DVDs? They are amazing.

AC/DC is the last set. And it is a Powerload.

Back in the day, when we were getting the Clash/Police show ready, Greg M asked me if I had any ideas for what bands the series should cover. I was like "f%#king AC/DC, man." He was like, "Yeah, right." I said "I'm totally serious, man." He kinda laughed at me, and brushed it off. I might've stuck with the series when he asked, if I thought an AC/DC night would ever actually happen.

I have been involved with the ins and outs of all of these shows but to this day the selection of the bands that we play tribute to is a mystery.

I am pulling for a REM/The Cure night like you wouldn't believe.

how about rem/cure/smiths...

being such a rediculous REM fan I am only including The Cure to throw them a bone ;-) In my opinion REM can do the whole night.

Here are the two sets of REM songs that I can see being done at a GSMS show. I omitted some of my favorites in favor of some of the more popular ones. Believe me I would rather play Moral Kiosk and Wind Out, but for the sake of putting on this type of show here is what I came up with. Hits baby, hits!

SET ONE
Begin the Begin
Gardening At Night
(Don't Go Back To) Rockville
So. Central Rain
Pretty Persuasion
Harborcoat
Driver 8
I Believe
Can't Get There From Here
These Days
Superman
Fall On Me
Finest Worksong

SET TWO
Nightswimming
The One I Love
I Believe
Pop Song '89
Stand
What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
Everybody Hurts
Orange Crush
Man On The Moon
Losing My Religion
Radio Free Europe
It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Someone more capable than I, can come up with the two Cure sets.

nice set list...I would include either "I'll take the rain" or "All the way to Reno" from Reveal or "Lotus" from UP...just to have the later years represented. I assume I will be playing Mandolin for this show?

If it was a whole night with 4 sets I could see those songs in there. In your Green Street Music Series fantast you can have those Barry :)

I think you playing mandolin on Losing My Religion would be fantastic.

If Greg doesn't want to do this show, I will just book it at Ralph's. Watch out Greg, the Grove Street Music Series is in the house! And I don't even need to change the logos GSMS!

Here is a cure set that would rock out very well. I don't know as much resent stuff so it's not on the list.
set 1

Killing an Arab
Boys don

Cyanide

Neckties

High Voltage

i am continually in awe at these shows. i'm not a fan of alice's music, but i even enjoyed that set.

aerosmith and ac/dc totally rocked.

mr. voodoo screw machine scared me though.

can't wait to see the get ups at the elton/queen/bowie green street gender bender...

no pilgramage!? no 9-9?! no wendell G?! The list goes on and on!

Seriously, I would sign up to actually sing at least 2 of these songs (driver 8 and rockville), although I think doing the lmr with barry would be AWESOME!

But really, take out stand. :)

This isn't my fantasy list, this is just the list that I think would make a great show. The amount of people that would show up to hear 9-9, sadly wouldn't fill a room.

Now if this was a 4 set night of REM then hell yeah 9-9, Pilgrimage, Catapult, Feeling Gravity's Pull, Box Cars, These Days, Exhuming McCarthy, Second Guessing, Moral Kiosk, Star Me Kitten, Drive and on and on and on
