Care to help me with a song list..?

OK, I mentioned the Memphis gig -- its going to be a secular gig with the Big House Band -- piano, bass, drums, guitar, vocals (male and female). We have a partial song list:

* Honky Tonk Woman
* Brown Eyed Girl
* Twist and Shout
* Accidentally in Love
* Fly Me to the Moon
* L-O-V-E
* Mustang Sally
* 500 Miles
* Amie/Falling In and Out of Love
* I Walk the Line
* I’m A Believer
* A Hard Day’s Night
* On the Road Again
* Swingtown
* Moon Dance
* Monday Morning
* Walking On Sunshine
* Drift Away
* Meet Me in Memphis
* The Way You Look Tonight
* Red Red Wine
* Walking in Memphis
* Piano Man
* Walk On the Ocean

The following list is of songs we’re considering:

* New York State of Mind
* Louisiana 1927
* Georgia on My Mind
* God Bless the Broken Road
* Don’t Be Cruel
* That Thing You Do
* Won’t Back Down
* Only Wanna Be With You
* Pretty Woman
* Doo-Doo-Doo Dah-Dah-Dah (or other Police song)
* Friends in Low Places
* Girl from Ipanema
* Misty
* Margaritaville
* Melissa
* Peaceful Easy Feeling (or other Eagles song)
* Redneck Woman
* Listen to the Music
* Jailhouse Rock
* Wonderful Tonight
* You Won’t See Me
* Sweet Home Alabama
* My Best Friend’s Girl -or- Just What I Needed
* Where the Streets Have No Name -or- With or Without You
* Who’ll Stop The Rain
* Can’t Help Myself

The question is -- what other songs should we consider? It's a reception at a technical conference -- the demographic is 30ish to 50ish males who may or may not have their significant others with them. We'll do some of the swing/jazz mellow songs toward the beginning and then rock it out a little later. Ideas..?

I think anything from the Eagles that you add is a must!! Who all is in the band? Are there members from the And Band, are Lisa and others going? Just saw you guys at church for the first time, FANTASTIC!

Thanks for the love!

Yeah, Lisa, Fran, Chris, C2, John S (the metronome) and I are going. I'm leaning toward Take It Easy, what do you think..? :)
