Ok, we know it's coming. What changes do you see happening and/or wish for on the El Camino tour? My thoughts:
1. Drop the bass and keyboardist. They add nothing to the show.
2. Drop most of the Brothers songs, except Sinister and Howlin'
3. It's time to drop Stack Shot too. It's been on every tour, put it on the shelf, for a tour or two.
4. How about adding an acoustic encore like All you ever wanted, I cry alone, or Things ain't like they used to be.
5. Bring back Just got to be, PLEASE!
6. I LOVE Thickfreakness, however, why not make that the last song of the regular set. That way we'll be like "Fuck, they didn't open with thickfreakness, guess they ain't playin it. Then BAM!, they close out the set with it.
7. Same old thing. It's great live
8. No trust. How could that NOT be played live?!?
9. ANYTHING off Chulahoma. We've waited way too long for this!
10. Finally, mix in Jessica Lea or Nikki Wray on harmony vocals for one of the late nite performances. Would be awesome, and i'm sure WB will pick up the bill.

Mr.ssippi

I like the way you thinkin Dusty..
I too wouldn't have my feelings hurt if they ditches the other guys. I think there is no chance in Hell of that happening, so flip the script up a bit.
As dusty pointed out there are some tunes that would kick ass as a two piece from Bothers. Fuzz that Sinister Kid bass line up, and ripp it to shreds.
There are some old tunes that would be cool with "the band":
Brooklyn Bound, no keyboard, just throw the bass in there like it is on TBCU.
Have Mercy On Me, with the bass and keys, would be sick!
Older negelected two piece songs that I wish would be given a shot:
I second the Just Got Be, for sure.
Give Your Heart Away
Hurt Like Mine
Midnight In Her Eyes
Leavin Trunk
Do The Rump.. in particular, the way Dan plays it on TBCU. Not the standard tuning version I seen a few clips of on YouTube.
Goodbye Babylon
As already mentioned, BROOKLYN BOUND!
My Mind Is Ramblin!! Please!!
Wicked Messenger.

I want them to do "The Way I feel when I'm with you" with the band in a really bad ass groove along the lines of Green Onions Booker T and the MG's style.

Just thump out some serious organ and killer licks to that and thumpa thumpa drums, even start on that and then lead it into Green onion just to freak peoples minds out!

When I first signed on I saw the "handle" New Desired Name. I guessed right.

Nice!!

Actually had another thought about the thread.
Might get some thrown my way. But yea, drop the band thing. Just bring Danger Mouse on tour!
