On Stage #15 - Repetition
A continuing series of insights from the stage at the local club level...
15. Plenty of bands have a cover or two on tap (they can be fun to play, and familiar songs win over audiences), but: if the band before you plays the cover song in your setlist, don't go on after them and play the same song they did. It doesn't matter if that song's been in your set for years, or if you always play it better than they did... you're not going to impress anyone by making them listen to the same thing twice. Cross it off your setlist and play something else.
