Wondering when we should call time on the suggestions (including some of my own) that are not attracting enough interest and replacing with some fresh ones?

Sorry not reviewed these in a while. I'll get onto it in the next few days

Should I create a 'last call' list of songs with few takers?  Then drop them if there's insufficient roles that have been filled after about a week.

That’s a great idea. 

76 days to go….

I'm happy to give Symphony a try on bass to fill that one out...

Here's an update song list with @guitargeek62 added on bass for 'Symphony Of Destruction', so we now have a full line-up for that one.

Last call for the following songs which still lack a full set of roles. If we don't fill the roles in a week's time, I'll remove them from the list.

Tulane: Needs vocals and bass

La Grange: Needs vocals and drums

Funky Music: Needs vocals, drums and bass

For Whom The Bell Tolls: Just needs vocals

Hell's Bells: Needs vocals and bass

I've Got To Use My Imagination: Needs vocals, drums and bass

Basket Case: Just needs drums

Beat It: Needs drums, and lead guitar

I've updated the song list to remove those listed in my previous post that don't have enough roles.

btw. If anyone suddenly decides they're up for roles in the songs that have been dropped, then check back at the list in my post dated July 23, and we could resurrect any that might have enough interest.

Now the list has been reduced, does anyone have any suggestions for other songs?

roberty

I can fill in on La Grange, vocals plus bass or guitar. Sorry been absent from the thread

If you can do vocals then we just need a drummer for La Grange. Any takers?

OK I'll add them to the list at the next update. Are you putting yourself down for lead or second (rhythm) guitar for those? Although we'll need dual lead for the Thin Lizzy guitar harmonies.

I can do bass an vocals for Thin Lizzy 

Brocco

Rhythm for both please, but I do intend to attempt getting up to tempo for one of the lizzy lead lines, but we will have to see how it goes!

Neilybob

I’m happy to pickup lead guitar on the two songs @Brocco suggested.

What tuning are you going for ? I think The Boys Are Back in Town is originally in Eb turning and Hot Blooded is in E standard tuning.

I'll add the concert key to the list and make a note if the guitars tuned to Eb standard (or whatever), as I have for other songs. Once we have a vocalist we can find out what key they'd prefer, or detune on the day if necessary.

We could play The Boys Are Back in standard or Eb, but as @stratman3142 suggests, perhaps we should go with whatever works best for whoever is on vocals

If I'm singing I can sing in either key. Higher is probably easier to be honest
