Covers band set list help!

rico

The covers band we have re-kindled are gigging again and we are putting together set lists. We have a private gig first up in the calendar and we are playing a short rock 'n' roll set, see below. 

Van Morrison - Moondance
Eddie Cochran - Summertime Blues
The Stones - Walking the Dog
The Band - Who Do You Love
Buddy Holly - Rave On
Ricky Nelson - Hello Marylou
The Stones - Brown Sugar
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
Them - Baby Please Don't Go
The Beatles - I Saw Her Standing There
Chuck Berry - Jonny Be Goode

The other gigs we have are more typical covers-type gigs so I'm wondering what songs you would include or exclude from the above list, if not all? To quote the event organisers: 'we want people dancing!'

Secondly, what absolute staples should we include in our regular sets?

Cheers!

@rico out of that list I'd keep,

Moondance - nice way of bringing the set in.
Johnny Be Goode - Great way of ending the set.
Brown Sugar - possibly.

If the organiser wants people dancing/singing along etc then throw out any songs you would like to do  
 here's a list of generic standard function tunes that'll do the trick. Off the top of my head and in no particular order...

There'll a load more that I can't think of that I'm sure other folk chip in with. Iv'e found a lot of it depends on where you play certain songs in your set. Many work best towards the end of the set when the crowd are well oiled.

Walking On Sunshine gets the girls up dancing every time.
