What DMB song should I play for the Variety Show?

So you're amazed as to how Dave's rhythm guitar slaps and strums so "perfectly"...but you can't. Ask all things about Dave and his guitars here.

everyone and their moms ex husband has heard it on the radio at some point and its a great song

if you can get someone who's good at violin to play with you and nail the solo at the end you'll tear the roof off of the place
agreed. ants you will have people either clapping their hands or tapping feet and bobbing heads

If you can belt it out, Say Goodbye always gets an amazing response. I love playing it solo too. Its a beautiful song, when the guitar drops for the "tomorrow go back to being friends" part girls cum there shorts.

Watchtower. It's easy, it sounds good played solo, and everyone knows it.

id go with either Ants Marching (good lyrics.. good melody), or the stone.. cool riff.. and if you can get the kid you are playing with to do some sick soloing.. then that would kick ass..

I like Granny because it's fairly simple and if you play it like they did at Central Park it will definitely get people up and going ... If you can play two songs, you can follow it up Nancies or Ants

I did where are you going at a talent show this year and it got a huge response. Obviously not technically challenging but I has a girl singing a harmony part and we scored major points. Just a suggestion if you want a more simple song.

How about not playing a Dave song, because everyone and their mom will be playing a Dave song?

jimi thing -> what will become of me. i've always loved to play those two songs, especially when you throw them together, it's awesome. if not those two, pig is awesome acoustic(when you get to the love part, you can go insane) and song that jane likes is really simply, yet really fun to play and will get everyone into the show.
