Do you know every solo to those songs or are you improvising? That's a long set list to know off by heart.

What gear are you using? I'm guessing you have a British sounding amp judging by your set list.

Please please take number 12 off you set list and NEVER look back!

the guitarist pretty much knows all the solos and improvises around them we know all the songs like the back of our hand, yes.

the amp is a marshall stack not sure on the head, the other guitarist emulates his sound through a pedal, direct into the PA.
