Scapegoat Blues

Wolfbane

(guitarist) Pat Metheny's "Stranger in Town" (co-written by Lyle Mays).  This is a spirited song, with a lot of dramatic turns.  Always a crowd favorite.

Stranger in Town

(violinist) Jean-Luc Ponty's classic song, "Mirage."  We make sure the bridge is as metal as possible.

Mirage

The Mahavishnu song Lila's Dance.  Lila must be a hell of a dancer, since this song is in 20/8.  The first half of the song feels like it is in 5, while the back half feels like it is in 6 and two thirds!

Lila's Dance

This Return to Forever song, written by (drummer) Lenny White, has three sections.  It starts out with a beautiful melody, then gets aggressive in the middle, and after some great unison lines, bursts into the funky controlled chaos of the ending.

Shadow of Lo

Lenny White's 'Dark Moon.'  a 9/4 song that goes back and forth between sweet and spicy feels, and has a funky bridge.  

Dark Moon

(drummer) Billy Cobham's fusion standard, "Stratus."  Everybody plays this one, but hopefully you like how we made it our own.

Stratus
