Re: (TV) Set list order suggestions?

[Russ <russvr@gmail.com>]

You guys did great w/ 'marquee moon', ever thought of covering 'Zuma' ? My
embryonic band just started learning 'Driveback' yesterday. The list below
is great and very obscure as I can truthfully say I've heard of half the
songs. I'd start w/ "The Witch".
Good luck!
