Lots of talk here about gear, virtual and hardware, but I haven’t seen a lot about what people are playing, so I thought I’d start a set list thread to see what people are using, and see if maybe we can share some setups (yes, there’s a lot to consider beyond the song to share a setup, but I’m willing to bet many of us have many of the same plug ins).
Also, if you’re a fan of the genres and have some suggestions I’d love to hear them.

… and about a dozen others we’re working up at the moment.
Think I’ll be visiting Google Play Music to have a listen to many of these again - it’s been a while since I’ve heard any of these!
Nothing to offer as a song list here - sorry, as I only do live improv so all original by nature.
What I can offer is this: I have the full production notes with every instrument and preset used in my shows in the “Show More” area for the videos at my YouTube channel where I keep the live streams. If anyone is interested, just ask for the URL! There are over a thousand setups in 221 live-streamed programs at the moment.
Even if I don’t list out all the presets here, I can at least probably list the instruments since I use the same ones on many of the shows from one week to the next.
For me, when I was in Welsh Floyd (Cantable running backing tracks, DMX light show (via DMXIS) and triggering the Vidoe laptop), it was simply the 1994 P.U.L.S.E live set (a slight mix between the CD and Video variants of what songs appeared)
Set One:
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (Concert version)
"Astronomy Domine"
"What do You Want from me"
"Learning to Fly"
"High Hopes"
"Take It Back"
"Coming Back to Life"
"One of These Days"
"Hey You"
"Another Brick in the Wall (Parts 1 and Part 2)"
Set Two:
"Speak to Me"
"Breathe"
"On the Run"
"Time"
"The Great Gig in the Sky"
"Money"
"Us and Them"
"Any Colour You Like"
"Brain Damage"
"Eclipse"
"Wish You Were Here"
"Comfortably Numb"
"Run Like Hell"
Now, it is looking to be all original, but the new set is going very slowly whilst we have the long days and lovely weather, so I am making the most of being outside!
OK, here’s my stuff: Just pasting from my Cantabile setlists - I have setlists with the respective repertoire in alphabetical order and switch between them from LivePrompter.
Next, the project I just started out with this year: a classic Rhythm ‘n’ Blues outfit called “Mind The Gap” (www.facebook.com/MindTheGapRB)

Happy to share setups / song files, but mine are definitely a bit complex - may be somewhat over-engineered for beginners.
And of course it all depends on the VST instruments used - my main stuff is Addictive Keys, VB3, Korg M1, Xpand, Valhalla reverb, FabFilter EQ, plus a bit of this & that…
