    Default Set length

    I'm planning on having a party later this year, and I'm providing the entertainment (leave it!). The final set list will depend in part on the singer (and I don't have one yet), but I put together a list of songs that I'd really like to play.
    It's 2 3/4 hours long - after ruthless editing!
    How feasible is it to play for that length of time? It's a bit past the 1 1/2 hours (ish) I used to do. There will be other guitarists soloing on a few songs, but even so I can see a bad attack of cramp/tendonitis striking!
    What do you reckon - feasible or not?

    Yeah, do it as 3x50 minutes (with 10 minute breaks in between) then ten minutes of encores.

    If you start at 8, you're finished by 11.

    Pretty much as Stancey said to the letter.

    stance and Jase have it bang on. Although I have played a gig of 3 and a bit hours, with one break of about 20 minutes half way through. I thought it was a bit too much though.

    Yup - split it up. Either 2 or 3 sets. Any longer than that and you'll be knackered and lacklustre.
