Set List

[Michael Rife]

No specific songs or in order…..but before intermission I would load it up with their original music (Close To You, Still A Friend, Wide Wide Land, etc).  Then after intermission I would load it with covers (Beatles, Starman, Lola, God Only Knows).  That does not mean that before intermission would be strictly originals nor does it mean that after intermission would be strictly covers.  But, that’s how I would generally set it up.  Encore:  Still A Friend.

[Jacki Hopper]

Damn…lol…what a Q to put us all on the spot with…I want them to do All  their Originals of course, then for covers,  again I’d want all  to be played…but… The ones that stand out,  I Saw Her Standing There, Johnny B Goode, Wish You Were Here, For What It’s Worth…etc…. I’d be front and centre stage in front of stage  because I want no tall people obstructing my view…for a change….lol I’m only 4 foot 6 ish inches tall approx, in others words under 5 feet tall….??

[David Herrick]

That’s an interesting question, Bill.  I imagine it would depend on the size of their entourage.  If they don’t have backing musicians then they might stick to the songs they’ve done in the duo sessions.  And if they don’t have roadies then they would probably try to minimize the number of times they need to switch out or retune their instruments.

I like Michael’s idea of original songs before intermission, and covers after.  As a variation on that, a couple of years ago I saw Peter Yarrow perform at a small venue, and at the start of the show he said, “I’m gonna do the songs I want to do first, and after intermission I’ll do the songs YOU want me to do.”  In the lobby there was a table where we could write down our requests during the break.  Of course, that’s easier to manage when it’s just one guy with one instrument.

I think starting off the show with two or 3 popular covers, then mostly originals through the body of the show, and then towards the end have some more covers, and have Sweet Lorraine as the finale to end the show with a memorable bang.

At the Cavern they said because the audience is mostly tourists who came to experience Beatles and classic 60s songs, they would do mostly covers throughout with a sprinkling of originals.  But if it is an MLT concert, and the audience is there to see MLT, then I would want to hear all their originals with a sprinkling of covers.

[Bill Isenberg]

Michele and Club members,

My thought as well, I was thinking starting off with This Boy Is Mine and go with the first album to start the show and before the intermission go to the covers, then after the intermission hit the Orange Album and then sit and do the Duo Sessions covers just the two of them, and bounce back and forth from Covers and ending with Still a Friend of Mine, then for the curtain call? For What’s it Worth, The Last Time, Revolution and Club 27 to End!!

But I agree I want all the songs going from the CD with California Dreaming, San Francisco, Hotel California and the Concert CD and etc…I listen to all of them from number 1 track to the end. My day is not complete until I hear the Mona and Lisa Twins, their Music is awesome.

[Lynn T. Newcomb]

I’d like to believe that the Twins currently have at least 10 unpublished original songs, so they should start with those, then, in no particular order, I’d love to see the following:

• Hotel California
• House of the Rising Sun
• Michelle
• I saw her Standing there
• Catch the Wind
• Johnny B Goode
• Wish You were Here
• Still A Friend of Mine
• One More Time
• Wide Wide Land

But, honestly, I’d just be happy to see them playing live.

By the way, Jacki,  Lisa and Mona would better understand 137 cm rather than 4′ 6″.  You’re 29 cm shorter than Lisa who is 5 cm shorter than me.

[Jacki Hopper]

Lol, by the way Bill, I grew up in a non metric old  school household, of using Imperial measurements,  such as inches, feet, pounds, ounces, etc…  when Metric was taught in my elementary  school years, I really struggled with that concept, still do, as also Math was the worst school enemy  all throughout my school years, and still so now, so it’s  best I stick with what I know best, comfortable for outdoor Temps,  I’ll use Degrees Farenheit and that’s what’s used in Canada…so it’s  best I stick with what I know best, comfortable  with, especially  in baking, if I see a recipe in metric, got to convert it to other and if out n about, need to inquire, I specify in old school, and the people are happy to oblige, lol… And for MLT understanding metric better , I agree…in Europe, etc, it’s  more standard, common used as to the old school Imperial…besides, I’m so used to saying I’m for 4 foot six inches (4’6″ ), it’s autopilot  for me  to say as I have…lol

[Bill Isenberg]

Jackie,

Thanks for the information my friend. And  people who know me, will all say Old School…and proud of it!! LOL….

[Jung Roe]

Jacki, I’m with you there with metric vs imperial measurements.   Although in Canada we converted officially to the metric system years ago, when it comes to weight and height, it’s pounds and inches/feet for me.  When someone tells me their weight in Kilograms or height in centimeters I have no feel for it.  When I hear 100 pounds, I have an idea how heavy that is, but 45 Kilograms is just a number, does not compute unless I convert it to pounds.  When it comes to speed and distance, I was forced to get a feel when driving.  But even 1 KM distance, I silently compute it as 0.6 miles in my head.

[David Herrick]

It’s fascinating to me how, with regard to units of measurement, Canada seems to be caught in a tug-of-war between U.S. proximity and worldwide standardization.  I just hope you guys don’t weigh yourself in “stone”.

 

[Lynn T. Newcomb]

In the U.S we tend to measure distance in terms of time.  I don’t know the miles or kilometres to my son’s place in Arizona, but I know it’s a 19 hour drive.

[Jacki Hopper]

Bill…I’m sort of like that way  too, describing distance in time frame of hours rather than miles/kms…. I also have no sense of direction so I’m one for going by landmarks …lol

[Jung Roe]

Lynn, good point.  For me Palm Springs CA to Vancouver BC express driving in a mustang is 21 hours, possibly 22 if they don’t believe me when I tell the Canadian border officer I didn’t buy anything in the 2 weeks I was cross border!   🙂

[Joseph Manzi]

I myself think they should open the show with the whole Orange cd. Then do a couple from When we’re Together. Say — This Boy is Mine  —  Dreams —  I want to Kiss You  — Nothing In Vain.

End the show with the following songs

You Can’t Do That

Sunshine Superman

Two of Us

Your Going To Lose That Girl

Drive My Car

Encore

Day Tripper

Johnny Be Good

Bus Stop

Then Goodnight   Stay Groovy !!!
