Just curious, but since the reason I created this thread is that I have a family-gig coming next Saturday, I'd like to know something I should have considered earlier... Does anyone have any suggestions for how to create a good set-list? I've watched a lot of concerts on YouTube (not a lot in real-life though... Going to see one next month, though), and in the majority of them, the bands use the same overall structure: Start with some upbeat songs, move on to a mix of fast and slow songs, then do some of their most popular songs, and finally end it with a sing-along or an iconic tune. Most times, they also add a solo or jam, though not always (GNR has 5 solos and 3 jams in the show from LA Forum on 21.12.11, while Deep Purple has maybe 1 solo).

Judging by this model, I believe it would be best to go by the following:

Whole Lotta Rosie
(Own Song)
La Grange
Patience
Without You
(Own Song)
Used To Love Her
Sweet Child O' Mine
Dream On
Knockin' On Heaven's Door

Encores: (if they want more, that is)
Sailing
Smoke On The Water
(Own Song)

That's how the set-list looks so far. I'll probably replace some stuff with a solo-segment or something, but I'd like some feedback on how to arrange the songs to create a better flow in the whole thing. Most of the stuff is covers, I know. It'll probably also sound a bit dry, being only a single guitarist with no band behind me, but those are issues the people I'm playing for are prepared to accept.
