so, you know in the movie Blues Brothers where - at the end of the Bob's Country Bunker scene - john belushi says "you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!"? i love that winding-down feel. i know at certain venues they had a standard "last song(s)" to usher the night out (parrish, legend, radcliffe), but what do you do?

i have been trying to find the right song that lyrically and musically finishes everything up. three that i have been bouncing around in the last few years are:

butterflys - good night baby

inez foxx - the time

irma thomas - time is on my side

any suggestions?

I was thinking exactly the same earlier, whilst in the car, listening to:

Derek Martin - You Better Go

Wasn't that the Mecca ender?

Classy to end with an instrumental.

Play "gotta new life" from the classic "Nuyorican Soul" LP by the "Masters at Work"

If there is any one left at your soul night after 10 mins of this one you know who you are going to be smoking with ! biggrin.gif

the taxi is waiting outside, you have money in your pocket, and there was no need for an ender record after all !

To many it is a high Peggy... It can be the highlight of a set sometimes...

Many fond memories of great ballad enders from over the years...

We know you keep on about your pounding uptempo :rolleyes: , also those that like a good WRIST SLASHER thrown in :D

I have a few tracks that end sets, depends on the venue/ crowd and music policy..

I think its about finding your own signature really, something that means so much to you and gets the required reaction from the crowd too...

3 from me...

William Hunt................................... "Would you believe"

Ritchie Havens..................................." I can't make it anymore"

Baby Washington................................" It will never be over for me "

Slow enders from me...

Flairs - Where you live.

Tommy Tate - I'm taking on pain.

Lonliness - Jerry Butler

Aware of love - Jerry Butler.,,amongst loads of others.

Back in the day we went with "California Dreaming" by Wes Montgomery on Verve.

A nice inst to finish with. and because the Mecca went with the above.

Have used both The Dells & The Exits that have already been mentioned as an ender & both work brilliantly.

At the moment I'm using Gayle Harris-Ain't Gonna Let It Get Me Down DCP to end my spots with.
