Default got a gig on st patricks day!

ok check this out, i got a gig at this huge house party on st pattys, (im a dj if you didnt know) im really still an ameture as far as shows go.... but i need a little help this time.
this thing is going to be huge, im going to get alot of rep for this one.
the only thing is, its going to be a 70's theam so lots and lots of disco and remixes. now i have herd that disco is pretty much the easiest and most basic **** to spin. but i need a little help with the playlist.

this is what i got so far

vicki sue robinson- turn the beat around
the wispers- the beat goes on
silver connection- fly robin fly
earth wind and fire- grove tonight ( personal fav)
earth wind and fire- disco inferno
diana ross- upside down
commidors- brick house
beegees- you should be dancing
beegees- staying alive
a tast of honey- boogie oogi oogi
mike jackson- thriller, rock with you,billy jean (all techno remix and original)

so i need some real critism here, also suggestions is welcom. right now the list is short so i need it to grow, cause the party is going to last a long time.

let me know!

I'm really not up on the 70's but doesn't 50 cent have a song disco inferno or something of that nature?.. Could mix that with something that's actually disco.

thanks for the support. im going to do my best as always.

but im having a load of truble with a playlist. trance is my forte'. it doent have to be strickly 70's it can be early or mid 80's too... i just want to stay away from new-wave.

If I was you id just spin your trance rather than that 70's music (probably wouldnt go down to well though). When I first started out dj'ing it was tough to get gigs but I refused to compromise on my music and played what I wanted to play, and in the end I got there.

I used to play hardhouse, not sure if it is big in the states, but over here it was big (still is kind of). I got to play in packed clubs in loads of diff cities all over the place, I also ran my own hardhouse/funky house club nights with a friend it was great, got loads of promo records and stuff and never had to pay to get into any clubs when I went out.
