Another great rock show in the back lot of Godwin. Wig participation was 13 strong, although some only lasted a few minutes until the heat or bad tasting rat hair resulted in a change. I was able to grab a setlist from the stage and it included the following:
Rock of Ages: Def Leppard. Warmups to this classic (where the backblast title comes from for you Boomers or 20/30 somethings).
Youth Gone Wild: Skid Row. Not sure the song would work as well with “Middle Aged Men Gone Wild”. We finished warming up to this song. Included some Flutter Kicks where EF Hutton’s kilt caught some extra glances from Attila.
TNT: AC/DC. Curls beginning with the “Oi!” and alternating with Lawn Mowers, taking a little break during the guitar solo.
Talk Dirty To Me: Poison. ‘Cause, baby, we’ll be, At the Godwin, near the old man’s Ford, Doing High Pulls, ‘Til I’m screamin’ for more, then do Burpees, Lock the cellar door, And, baby Talk dirty to me
Balls to the Wall: Accept. No Bell. Wall sits with air presses or Elaines and then Walls to the Ball toe taps during the Chorus. What came first, this song or Pigskin doing his first Balls to the Wall?
Love in an elevator: Aerosmith. Teapots (single leg deadlift) and Squats (going down…)
Drop Dead Legs: Van Halen. More leg work. Swings and Lunges.
You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’: Judas Priest. Partner up, one does Bear Crawls and Bernie’s back while the other does presses. Did this two times each.
House of Pain, Faster Pussycat. I’m not trying to fake it, And Whitesnake ain’t the one to blame, There’s Sit and Presses In my house of pain. I didn’t write these pages, And my script’s been rearranged, Rotate to Triceps, In my house of pain
Heaven: Warrant. Circle back up. For this final song and power ballad, hold the bell in rifle carry as long as you can while we rotated through ten reps of favorite kettle bell exercise. Rushed through this at the end but got to hear all two key changes in this 1989 hit.
Thanks for everyone who made it out today. Thirteen is great numbers for Circus. Come on back!
Prayers for Fudd’s sister Mary, Roger Roger’s wife Molly, Faceplant’s wife, Fireman Ed and Gaudi’s family.
Didn’t play any GnR until coffeteria but will end with this great quote from Axel:
“I’m not God but if I were God, ¾ of you would be girls, and the rest would be pizza and beer.”
