Afterward: ‘Welcome to the... ‘ Concert Playlists and Book 6 Chapter Songs

With the NIS program finally over, here are the playlists from the Welcome to the... concert that Mike and the Time Bandettes, and the Shania Twain Band played at the John Labatt Center in London. I regularly used ‘unique’ web-links to songs to get a feel for how other bands have played these songs. For example, I used Nickelback’s cover of ZZTop’s Sharp Dressed Man as a guide for what Mike and the Time Bandettes, and the lighting crew did during this song.

In the Chapter Songs’ list, I did not include web-links to songs included in the Welcome to the ... concert. However, I’ve included additional songs that were integral to this story in their chapter. For example, I’ve include Fire and Rain, and I Thank You from Canella’s private concert in chapter 1, and Maggie May, Closer Than Fine, California Dreaming, and Ring of Fire (a cool Pat Benater performance) from the NIS Band Challenge chapter (8).

I hope you enjoy any/or all of these songs from this story’s concluding concert and the chapter songs.
