Everlong by Foo Fighters.
Since 1997 I think I’ve played it at every gig going forward up until last week.
For the past 7 years I’ve been in a Foo tribute band also though.

Brick House - God's answer to "why do you want to be a bassist?"
Freakin’ “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and “Can’t You See.” Never again, I hope.
I once had a gig where I played "Satin Doll" and "New York, New York" every single night, at least one and often two shows a night, seven nights a week, for three straight months, with only one night off in that entire time. So I'm pretty sure it's one of those two tunes.
What’s going on by Marvin Gaye. I still enjoy playing it
Freedom of Choice by Devo...
Here's me playing it at a Halloween party in 1986 (on my Guild pilot)....
And this past Friday night.....( on my MIJ jazz)

Every single song on this album...(I was a beginner back then, & was learning there was more to music than "Crotch Rock", AKA "Hair Metal" or "Spandex Rock") Still a great album, & Vinnie Colaiuta was/is a stud!

I went to Eric Church (night 2) in Denver last night. He really put his heart and soul into the whole 3 hour concert, except...he seemed to mail it in on “Springsteen,” which is probably his biggest hit. I immediately assumed that since that record (and I don’t recall when it came out) he has probably never done a show without that song, and it was clear he loves to change things up and try new things, but he’s probably really trapped by that one.
La Bamba. I made the terrible mistake of learning to sing it in 1990, then had to sing it between six and three nights a week for over twenty years. By now I must have played/sung it at the very least a thousand times and possibly close to two thousand times. I did it last night, and I'll do it again tonight. Close seconds would be Brick House and Mustang Sally, which I also sing, but not often lately. Those three songs always pack the dance floor, so I keep doing them. La Bamba was written in 1683, so it's the oldest song I've ever done also.
Maybe when I die my epitaph should read: He had to sing La Bamba over two thousand times.

Donna Lee, i used by learnig song as a song from notes, played in different tempos to update my finger teq. and sometimes use before gigs to prepare myself.
I have not played this one too much, but I have played it in a few bands. The odd thing: different keys in each band and never once live in the key the Doobies played it in.
