Andy Summers chorus settings anyone?

The one gratified vibe that rubbed off on me from him👀, LOL,
-is the fervent use of the right hand picking rhythm.
Strummin’s for bums, put the hand to work adding dimension at the pick versus the
lick & the wank.
Diggin’ up them Willie Adler assaults on the strings
Play the shit out of that guitar.

Message in a Bottle usually lands for me. Don’t Stand So Close to Me works too - both songs actually work better if you have 2 guitars, they both have interesting harmonies happening in the verses that feel naked with 1 guitar live.
 
We always steered clear of ballads and belly rubbers. Singers like that shit for some reason. :facepalm

1 a set so couples can get their Mojo on is cool. 2 if they beg you. Anymore than that and you
turn the entire gig into a snooze-fest, in my experience.
 
So many winners in the catalog. If you need simple, high energy rockers to keep the crowd engaged, there’s Born in the ‘50s, Truth Hits Everybody, etc.
 
I've never seen a Police song work in a cover situation. I'm not sure why.

One of the first songs I ever sang live was Driven to Tears, back in '85. A friend of mine told me I drove the crowd to tears as they were listening.
