We did a request night on the Harbour Cruise with Bad Manners a few months ago, and had a lot of fun. So when we found out that these 3 gigs were coming up, we talked about doing it again - we're not flogging anything, it's just some gigs to stay "in the zone" so to speak. I can't remember the exact order, but I have included the tunes played on each night - for interests' sake. The songs that are bold are in order - the rest I just figured out after and chucked anywhere! I'll also indicate when a band member request was done (what - we can't play too?!)

July 21st addition : Basically - by the time Friday night came, I took a pen and paper onstage to record what tunes we did, so they are pretty much in order Fri and Sat (unless I didn't get a quick chance onstage and just scribbled shit). For my request on Saturday night, I left it late in the set so as to play a tune that hadn't been requested all weekend.
There is probably a good chance that we will do a request thing next time we go interstate - just not sure when that is (sorry!!) It was way cool, and everyone had tons of fun. Especially us!!

Okay - for those unsure - here is a list of the covers we did, who did the original, and where you can find a copy of us doing it (geez I'm good to you guys):
Sally Brown - Laurel Aitken - no recorded version by The Porkers
Mongoloid - Devo - Track 8 Grunt
Know Your Product - The Saints - B-side of Hit the Ground Running single
Freeze Up - Operation Ivy - B-side of Perfect Teeth single
California Sun - tons of bands (Ramones was best version) - Track 9 Grunt
Aloha Steve and Danno - Radio Birdman - Track 4 Grunt
Nite Klub - The Specials - no recorded version by The Porkers
Counting The Beat - The Swingers - B-side of Too Big For Your Boots single

Shown below is my scribble - writing down the tunes for the websites' sake. I can understand it (with that handwriting, I would have made a great doctor!!)
