are you kidding me? November? wow.
That said, we had a great weekend at MSC, as I'm hoping you all did as well. Just got some hi-tech sound baffling installed this past week and it totally tweak us out up on stage--in a good way, mostly. We're in a multi-purpose type facility, so our stage is surrounded by painted drywall. Sound (sound = drums for the most part) just bounces all around us and what doesn't keep bouncing around leaps into the congregation. With the new paneling, everything sort of stops after it's played. it's weird. anyway, it definitely helps the room out.
So our setlist was:
All Because of Jesus - (Steve Fee)
Sweet Mercies - (David Ruis)
Holy Lord - (M. Roach)
feature tune: Give Us Clean Hands - (Charlie Hall)
Everlasting God - (Brenton Brown, Ken Riley)
The Fee tune is a great opener... high energy. I usually use my delay and wah on this one in the verses (on my acoustic) so that we kinda get the two electrics vibe going. fun stuff. Sweet Mercies is solid, too... our congregation still really lets go on this one. We came right out of the Fee tune into a driving intro for Sweet Mercies and then completely out as we started the first verse. Holy Lord came after that, a new tune of mine that I lead from the piano. Anyone else ever move from guitar to piano during your worship sets? The transition can be tricky, but I love leading from the piano from time to time. I actually just started doing that--during worship, that is--about a year and a half ago.
Give Us Clean Hands is another classic. Mark Schultz did a version that was on Absolute Modern Worship II a few years back... really cool percussion bed underneath and a full-out choir. I was able to assemble a cool percussion loop, but no choir. :) It was a fun tune, though, we did it during communion, then ended with Everlasting God... good stuff.

whipping out the oldie "Give us Clean Hands". one of my favorite songs of all times. i think it was the 3rd song i learned on guitar.
Can't wait to hear your new stuff. I just wrote a song last week called "Radiance", that I'm stoked about. I'll send it was I get some demo time. Great set.
Sweet Mercies. Great song. I'm pretty sure we're doing Everlasting God next week. I just did my customary reshuffle of the list and added it. It flowed musically better than what I had. I love seeing original material being used.
