Song choice help

If you were going to segue from Greendays' Basket Case ( which ends on a cliffhanger B although the song is in the key of E), straight into another song,  what would fit nicely?

What is the other song, the next song? That will determine your target key, tempo and so on and will help suggest a bridge. Do you want to jump straight to the next song or bridge using a short improvision or hold the B on longer so someone can intruduce the next song?

Crash by The Primitives ... straight into that iconic intro riff, song is in B ... around the same tempo and can withstand being played quicker.

Sure there are more, I'll have a think, that came straight to mind though.

Jonathangus

Live Wire by AC/DC or Kids in America by Kim Wilde - have the bassist keep the B note pumping, then come in with the main riff.

Black night by Deep Purple could be fun if you want to go old school. End of chorus also has a dramatic B chord before launching back into main riff.

I forgot to mention, it would segue into the final song of the night

Basket case ends in B-flat which is awkward but if you intend to transpose then Thunderstruck is in B and you can start later into the song when B5 is playing under the intro.

Yeah we play it standard tuning transposed to B
