YFS - to put you in the zone for a gig.

An offshoot from my reply in the YFS-Madonna thread.
What song do you have to play before an event starts to put you in "the zone"?

My current one is the live version of Future Lovers/I Feel Love (first track on The Confessions Tour Live CD).

let me think on this. I would have to say it would depend on the gig. Different styles for different attitudes at the event.

Rock - train train by blackfoot. Love the high energy build up in it.
Country - Swing by Toby Kieth
Old School - Fire by ohio players
Rap/dance - Cupid shuffle (today) like the energy of it
Latin/Tex mex - daddy Yankee (most music)

Good question!

For me it's whatever strikes me at the moment. :sqcool:

Dire Straights - Money for Nothing

Happens to be my speaker setup song too.

Also, I know this is REALLY cheesy, but when my Mom was in the hospital for over a month, and I had several gigs that month, I would play:
Queen - The Show Must Go On

Groovielou

I used to dust off my first school gig each year with Frankenstein- Edgar Winter Group aint nothin like it to clean out your ears and or tweeters.

Good question!

I also second that.......
