Aktivator said:Solos and jams tend to give certain band members breaks so they can play more time and hence more songs. This is usually true of the singer who gets a break during the solo.
Okay. Good point.
Aktivator said:so you would prefer a band to play a 30 minute set then maybe a 60 minute set with jams and solos?
I expect a ninety minute set from headliners. I also expect a band to sample their catalogue extensively. Four or five tracks won't do at all.
A sorry case in point is Buddy Guy whose recorded work I've always enjoyed. I've seen him live twice in recent years and I left feeling cheated because he played a ninety minute set that consisted of only four or five different numbers out of his catalogue of hundreds of tracks. I'll not attend another Buddy Guy concert.
Aktivator said:What makes you think a band is going to play more songs if they don't jam/solo maybe they just play a shorter set?
They better not. See my previous answer.
