"Power And Glory" is a great song-I've used it as a regular opener for several years. Works pretty well on the banjo, which is another way to pull an audience in right off the bat-people seem to love the banjo.
One tune I dearly love as a closer combines elements already mentioned here-an up tempo tune about a boat with a very uplifting message-"The Mary Ellen Carter". It requires me to carry an extra guitar, as I play it in DADGAD tuning, but it seems to leave an impression on people.
