oldies but goodies

[DRMusic]

my band has an upcoming gig at a frat house on campus (UMD) and i want to do a nice long jam in the middle where we intertwine some solid oldies. i've heard bands do this before and i like its potential. some songs i'm considering throwing in now are Poppa Was a Rolling Stone and Let Me Ride.

can anyone recommend any other older songs but classics that have a good feel to them? has anyone every done this type of jam before? if you do covers of older songs during your sets.....what are they? it would be a basic progression with say a few minutes of guitar soloing then into a couple verses of Poppa then some more soloing then into.... that kind of stuff. If any of you were at the Gavin Degraw show at UMBC he threw in a few lines of Poppa during Chemical Party. A local band called the Kelly Bell Band pulls this off very nicely in the beginning of their sets.

Any/all suggestions welcomed.

i think it would be cool if you did that for a little bit then ended the jam abruptly with a solid downbeat and then went directly into the beginning of Come Together with the whole band...if you cna get the right sound for come together thatd be amazing

Well you can play about any pop 50's-60's songs by playing the I IV V IV progression. Louie Louie, Wild Thing, etc.
