Stones
Substantially whatever hit top 10, mostly Stones stuff is pretty simple.

The Who
Still retain a lot of Tommy, and glad to cover others.

There's a ton I left out, the above are what I can do without much review now; some of the Springsteen stuff, JB, Dire Straits I can cover on keys, am eminently willing to split lead guitar parts, alternate them, play acoustic, etc. I have a really neat 12-string with a stereo pickup which I'd like to use more, is a very distinctive sound.

EQUIPMENT

Les Paul Deluxe, Kramer American, Ibanez AS103NT semi-hollow, a Strat and a Flying V i made from parts, Ovation -6 and -12 - strings, Fatar NUMA keyboard,'73 Twin with JBL's, accumulated effects and extensive computer hard/software, Digital recording and processing plus more samplers and both soft and hardware MIDI synths, samplers, etc, I've been at this for a while so I can hold up my end 0K.
