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?

The lovely Jo Wallace always used to play the Dells Make Sure at the end of her set

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

Derek Martin - You Better Go

that is a great choice! nice vibe...

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 !

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

i did a radio show for little while and I ended every episode with Gene Chandler "I hate to be the one to say". (it's all over, for us it's all over....)

Jo has great taste and... This is by far and way my favourite last track....

thats the trouble............who wants to go home on some dreary downbeat record regardless of how good it may or may not be........send em homw on a high...........keith kurtis,the ravins,buddy lamp.....something to put a smile on ya face.........not something to make ya wanna get the rope or razor out

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 , also those that like a good WRIST SLASHER thrown in

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 "

SteveL used to end with "Hurt so bad" - Little Anthony, when on at the end at the Attic.

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.

I love as an ender,,, Jimmy Ricks -- Oh What a Feelin - Festival

Total Class !

Great choice. Wound up many a night at the legendary Dome thanks to Irish Greg.

Sex Pistols - Frigging in the rigging

i used to play ..GLADYS KNIGHT .".ITS TIME TO GO NOW " 68/70

but how about .......BOBBY WOMACK..." DAYLIGHT " .......listen to the words..

or ARETHA FRANKLIN....".YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU " ....for a hand clapping beat-ballad finish:thumbup:

hello steve.........only uptempo at a certain time of the night (thats all ) rest of the night play what they like,but to me any many others even those that don,t realise it......if you end on the up the feeling is much better,.............if we have to have a slowy at the end................how about david thomas on prime or buddy smith on brute

Ruth Brown 'Sweet Baby of Mine' works for me.

One i've only just come across ,does this count? I would if i could.

Glenn Watts - My little plaything.

I like to finish with Jimmy Wallace - I'll Be Back

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

Oooo tingling as I type, I had to play that as soon as I read it...defo one of my fav enders, or a good old sing along if you're at Hellfire or similar session...

Sex Pistols - Frigging in the rigging

needless to say since then no one has ever trusted me to finish a night off

Noted...no ending spot for Bearsy...

Bearsy, I have not heard that one?

often went with "California montage"., one off my favourites.

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.

Cheers
