A setlist for Jerry's concerts

[bailbath]

Ok we got a new release out Mean Old Man EP and expect new cd later this year. Plus a refresh of the setlist would be a good idea anyway so off you go folks.

[peterchecksfield]

He should open shows with 'Great Balls Of Fire'.

[martin bates]

He should open shows with 'Great Balls Of Fire'.

not such a good idea if he follows it with WLS !!

Martin.

Martin.

But a brilliant idea for Jerry if they pay him $100k per show, but audiences might be a leetle peeved.

I like Peter's idea though, with two massive hits he could open with one and close with the other, and it would solve the problem of idiots shouting for 'Great Balls of Fire' thruout the performance.

I agree - opening with Great Balls of Fire or WLSGO would be a good move.

Or does JLL need to build up the energy for those songs? I know he opens with other rock songs, but would he be able to do GBOF or WLSGO the way that he wants to, being the first song?

Of course he could. If anything 'Roll Over Beethoven' is usually performed with more energy than any of those.

Has he ever started with Greta balls in a regular gig?

Great balls of fire
Roll over beethoven/Down the line
Before the night is over
You are my sunshine
She even woke me up to say goodbye
Headstone/cc rider
Rockin my life away
What I'd say
Crazy arms
Mean Old Man
You win again
I Don't Want To Be Lonely Tonight/Why you been gone so long
Cyclone Lovin
Whole lotta shakin

I don,t think they are "idiots",Youngster today only know about "Great Balls of Fire".Here,s on copycat using it as a ad to his show.I,ll hope to go to this show too.

and it would solve the problem of idiots shouting for 'Great Balls of Fire' thruout the performance.

[wolfgangguhl]

I think they are idiots, because they do not inform themselves whom they are going to see. If only they had done a quick search on the internet they would have seen that "Great Balls Of Fire" is usually his closing number and included on virtually every show. But these people do not bother. They pay hundreds of Euro to see an artist they don't even know.

You really like this cat Henry ...

And I just can't see the point in shouting out repeatedly for one of an artist's greatest hits, especially early on in a show. You'd do so at the end if they'd missed it out, hoping they'd do it as an encore.

With Jerry Lee it would make more sense to request other big hits of his which he doesn't include in every show, or indeed in any show nowadays.

Which is what I usually do. In London in 2004 I requested both 'High School Confidential' & 'What'd I Say', & he played them both.

1- Rockin Jerry Lee ( explains himself great)
2. No more hanging on ( One of his finest records ever)
3. I am what i am ( Again a perfect JLL number)
4. She even woke me up to say goodbye ( a great country song)
5. Let the good times roll ( a great SUN song which i think is as good as BReathless)
6. Meat Man ( again like Rockin Jerry Lee and I am what I am)
7. Wild one ( A JLL song that describes him just perfect
8. You win again ( Good song to slow down a bit)
9. Crazy arms ( another one that has a really good melody and goes back to his first record)
10. Everyday I have to cry ( One of his later chart Hits and a great song )
11.Play me a song I can cry to ( My favourite song fron his Country Comeback a shame he never played it Live)
12. Drinking Wine Spodee Ode ( good rock´n roller that if it would been released in the 50´s a third world hit)
13. That Lucky old sun ( Only Jerry and Kenny like LMS LIve)
14. Keep my motor running ( Great song)
15. I´ll find it where I can ( with Jerry stadning up and walkin around on stage)
16. Circumstential Evidence ( My favourite at the moment. Just funny lyrics)

18. Boogie Woogie Country Man ( I love the piano solo´s he allways did in this song)
19. Folsom Prison Blues ( Great JC cover)
20. Mona Lisa ( A good song and jerry likes it a lot it seems)
21. Life´s Railway to heaven ( Best Gospel song of the killer)
22: Me and Bobby Mc Gee

24. Think about it Darlin ( A great one )
25 : Medley: Good Golly Miss Molly / Long tall Sally/Tutti Frutti ( miss the times he did that)
