And part of the problem is the quality of the live bands. None of them rehearse because they don't get paid to rehearse. As a result they know the 45 simplest cliche songs around, and all the bands play the same stuff. You see a lot of bands thrown together just to play for their $250. I have been at places where a band was setting up and players had to be introduced to each other DURING SETUP!!! Give me odds on THAT "band" being tight?

Part of why I don't bother anymore. If music doesn't mean enough to you to rehearse and do it right, don't do it at all.


That 45 song list would definitely be worth knowing, probably differs from one part of the country to the other.
