On this last day of the month of April, I - as always - share my creative take on a set list. In this post, I thought I would share a jewelry selection to honor Diamond April - where diamond is the natural birthstone for the month of April.
I hope only that you enjoy!
April Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend

Note - Set List - Amazon Associates In Style posted on April 28th is counted as Day 99.
On Set List 2021, Day 100 falls on my birthday. Celebration is in order.
zZounds - My most favorite instrumental is the drums. Roger Taylor is one of the most iconic drummers in his genre and in music overall. On stage, he performs with the Tama brand. I, then, will feature Tama on zZounds.

Amazon Associates - There is so much to love and share on Amazon Associates. On my blog, The Bridal Collection, I share on budget wedding dress samples, engagement ring samples, and so much more. On my blog, The Stylist Collection, I share couture with a variety of samples. On Set List, I thought I would share CD/DVD music combo samples.
- Chris Botti Live In Boston -
- Duran Duran Live From London -
Amazon Associates - I generally keep instrumentals with marketing on zZounds. However, AA (a personal abbreviation) offers an otherwise awesome selection. For example -
Just samples. Leave a shout out in the Comments section if you are curious to see anything else!

Amazon, as nearly anyone knows, is a massive online marketplace to search and buy. Amazon Associates, however, is meant for bloggers to earn from qualified sales that visitors make. The commission that bloggers earn is through the purchase, not at any expense to the customer. Think zZounds but from the perspective of Amazon.
With that said, Wednesdays are for fashion related to music.
In this post, I thought I would offer a mix of fashion and music by Kenny Wayne Shepherd - The Traveler.
The Travler -
9th studio album
Released on May 31, 2019

1. Woman Like You
2. Long Time Running

Versus Tuesday - Astronaut2005 Drummer v. Original Performance, same song from two different bands, Hollywood cinema with two separate soundtracks, music covers...Anything goes on Versus Tuesday.
In this edition of Versus Tuesday, I am featuring Duran Duran's "Planet Earth." In the post, Day 90 - Versus Tuesday, I offered two points of view for "Planet Earth" - official music video and Live from London.
In this post, the points of view for "Planet Earth" will both be live - from London and A Diamond In the Mind.
Leave a shout out to share your preference!
In years past, I honored each Duran Duran member with due mention on Live From London. The mentions were noted by Simon Le Bon at the peak of "Girls on Film" and I posted the song on every member's birthday.
On Set List, this year is different in how I will celebrate Happy Birthday best wishes.
On this April 26, 2021, best wishes for your most Happy Birthday, Roger Taylor!
To cap off Roger's 61st, I thought I would share a Duran Duran Reunion Documentary as an option on the Duran Duran Live From London DVD. Look for Roger's favorite drummers.

In the post just prior to this one, I featured Epiphone samples only. Yet Ibanez was just as noteworthy and so deserves recognition in this post...with a twist.
I am featuring Ibanez guitars carried by Amazon at a cost far less than zZounds.
Note - Leave a shout out in the Comments section to share which marketplace you prefer - Amazon or zZounds.

In this edition of Set List Saturday Favorite, Day 89 - zZounds Beginner Instrumental Back In Stock is of the most intrigue this week.
As a refresher, the zZounds Beginner Instrumental Back In Stock featured Epiphone and Ibanez guitar samples within reasonable price points to get the beginner guitarist off on the right foot. Follow the link above for further direction.
In this post, I thought I would share a unique Saturday Favorite - Epiphone sample apparel and accessories on Amazon Associates. Epiphone is part of the Gibson brand and, of course, Gibson is a brand that does not need an introduction. Therefore, neither does Epiphone.
And so in this post, I ask only that you consider.
Question - Have you ever been able to sing along to favorite songs only to be stuck when you are on your own? On the other hand, have you ever had difficulty with a lyric that you could not quite make out?
In this second edition of Set List Live & Lyrics, I am spotlighting Duran Duran's hit, "The Reflex."
Note - I was unable to find a live version of "The Reflex" with accompanying lyrics, so the YouTube video below is the recorded version with lyrics.

With that said, Wednesdays are for fashion related to music.
In this post, however, I thought I would opt for a different direction. With May near and being the Set List anniversary month, I am featuring the 8th Rush album, Moving Pictures, released in 1981.
Moving Pictures album track list refresher -
1. Tom Sawyer
2. Red Barchetta
3. YYZ
4. Limelight
5. The Camera Eye
6. Witch Hunt
7. Vital Signs

In this edition of Versus Tuesday, I am featuring Duran Duran's "Planet Earth" official music video versus "Planet earth" live. My love for the song is well established on Set List, so "Planet Earth" needs no introduction. Enjoy the YouTube videos below.

In prior zZounds Monday posts, I featured the most expensive instrumentals as possible really out of pure curiosity. I have since exhausted my curiosity from a financial point as well as likelihood of affordability for the everyday musician, professional or otherwise.
In this launch edition of zZounds Beginner Instrumental Back In Stock, I am featuring electric guitars once sold out but now back in stock and especially meant for beginners.
With that said, explore the sample links below if intrigued or follow the links below if seriously interested.

In this edition of Set List Reader's Choice, your top favorite is:
Set List - Amazon Associates In Style
As a brief refresher, Amazon Associates In Style featured an all American favorite, Journey, with adult t-shirt and print art matching the band's cover art on the 1988 Greatest Hits album as well as the album itself.
So here is why you may want to consider exploring or shopping -
The Greatest Hits album is Journey's best selling album.
The Greatest Hits album placed No. 6 on the U.S. Top Rock Albums Billboard Chart and No. 71 on U.S. Billboard 200 in 2020.
The Greatest Hits album is certified Gold in Canada and the UK, Platinum in Ireland, and 15x Platinum in the United States.
In my opinion, of the 15 songs on the album, two stand out the most as potentially iconic to Journey -
Don't Stop Believin' (originally on the 1981 Escape album)
Lights (originally on the 1978 Infinity album)
With that said, I ask only that you consider the post link above. There is no obligation to buy unless interested.

In this edition of Set List Saturday Favorite, Day 83 - Versus Tuesday is of the most intrigue this week.
As a refresher, the post reflected "Rio" recorded versus "Rio" performed live. Follow the link above to enjoy again.
In this post, I thought I would share Duran Duran logo apparel featured on Amazon Associates.
With every released album, cover art and apparel print art change to keep up with the band's unique aesthetic. The one constant, though, is Duran Duran's trademark logo -
As we are now well into April and May soon to arrive, Set List will honor its 11th anniversary. SL, as I abbreviate the blog, will forever be inspired by Duran Duran on a fundamental level. And so I offer two trademeark logos to wear with pride and enthusiasm.
Consider only.
In late January of this year, I launched a new Friday theme on Set List - live song excerpts. Over the next few months, the end of every work week was relieved by concert hits without an extended full YouTube video.
As of this day in April 2021, I am launching a new Friday Set List theme - live concert excerpts with lyrics.
Question - Have you ever been able to sing along to favorite songs only to be stuck when you are on your own? On the other hand, have you ever had difficulty with a lyric that you could not quite make out?
In this first edition of Set List Live & Lyrics, I am spotlighting Peter Frampton's iconic "Do You Feel Like We Do" - iconic as performed live and lyrics to follow along.
As always,

Over the course of their careers, professional guitarists experiment and settle with a variety of brands for studio recording and on stage performances. I cannot imagine an electric guitarist not playing a Gibson at some point in their career. Of course, this is just my thought.
And then there is the Fender - friend or foe of the Gibson. The Gibson brand was founded in 1902. Fender was founded in 1946. Gibson offers the Epiphone brand. Fender offers the Strat and the Tele...
...and this is where I will begin with zZounds as my base.
The links below will say the rest of it. Explore and enjoy!

With that said and being Fashion Wednesday on Set List, I thought would share apparel (and a bonus) from an all American rock and roll band - Journey.
Journey's Greatest Hits
Adult T-Shirt
Versus Tuesday - Astronaut2005 Drummer v. Original Performance, same song from two different bands, Hollywood cinema with two separate soundtracks, music covers...Anything goes on Versus Tuesday.
In this edition of Versus Tuesday, I am featuring Duran Duran's "Rio" recorded v. "Rio" live. "Rio" needs no introduction, so enjoy the YouTube videos below.

In this post, I am featuring keyboards at the highest price. zZounds offers a range of keyboards at a variety of financial cost and level of skill set. In my opinion, the lower end in price is best meant for beginners to focus more on learning how to play. Higher end, in my opinion, is best meant for professinals to add to their active instrumentals - one of many to choose from.
With that said, consider keyboards at their highest point as shown in the Overall link below.

Side note - The post, Set List - Amazon Associates In Style, will be counted as Day 77. The post is also your favorite top choice for the week.
As a brief refresher, Amazon Associates In Style featured a Duran Duran unisex adult t-shirt advertising the 2007 release of the album, Red Carpet Massacre. The post also featured a bonus offer - the album in full.
With Set List - Amazon Associates In Style being so popular this week, I thought I would share bonus Red Carpet Massacre apparel.

In this edition of Set List Saturday Favorite, the Go Cubs Go post is inspirational to anything music in Chicago.
Lollapalooza is a huge outdoor musical event every summer in Chicago. For four days, fans can enjoy such genres as alternative rock, punk rock, heavy metal, pop, hip hop, electronic, and soul. Prior to Covid -19, the estimated audience total was 400,000. Of course, I am just guessing the event will be a pass this year.
With that said, Chicago can still be a sweet musical destination. Consider and enjoy the videos below -
From continent to continent, a sense of normalcy as defined by so many countries is a highly desired want.
In the United States, sports is a huge sign of normalcy. The pandemic devastated every sport with minimum games and cut out images to act as an audience. Baseball in particular fell apart with the regular season struggling to start in July 2020 and the post season without electric cheers for every team playing in October 2020. Baseball is America's past time but America is struggling in so many ways.
The Chicago Cubs is a top favorite baseball team. The Cubs have a unique signature song...which lends to Set List and anything music goes.
As always,

Duran Duran - Red Carpet Massacre
Unisex Adult T-Shirt
Versus Tuesday is a unique theme as anything similar goes - Astronaut2005 Drummer v. Original Performance, same song from two different bands, Hollywood cinema with two separate soundtracks, music covers...Anything goes on Versus Tuesday.
In this edition, I am featuring "Walking On The Moon" by The Police (official video) and "Walking On The Moon" by Duran Duran as performed live at the Kennedy Space Center to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing in 1969. The performance, then, was in 2019. Admission - I am guessing the videos were posted at that time...sorry for the repeat!
Leave a shout out in the Comments section if a second time around is just as good as the first.
And so with that said,
Enjoy the song. Enjoy the videos. And hey! Share your favorite version in the Comments section too.

In this post, I am featuring electronic drums at the highest price. Where lowest possible cost is, in my opinion, best meant for beginners, higher end drums are best meant for professionals looking to add to their colection for studio worthy and stage ready.
With that said, consider electronic drums at their highest point.
