Hehe I remember my first live concert 6 years ago ) we had our first co-gig in some local concert hall with some other local band that were our friends and were quite popular with local kids at that time... we sold like 450 tickets that night together and the place was packed lol I was so nervous I totally forgot what to play during first two songs and I Practiced so hard I could play them during my sleep... but everything failed then lol lol
But the crowd was awsome and rocking all over the place and soon I got the hang of things... there is nothing better than a supportive croud... makes it all worth it!! ... so If you have that it fun every time!! And the advice Juan gave you is really the best I can think of it too: Don't get a heavy supper !!! and just try to enjoy your show I have over 100 gigs now behind me and im still nervous as hell somethimes... well most of the times Edited for language- Smells This post has been edited by Smells: Jun 21 2008, 11:20 PM -------------------- http://www.myspace.com/jjt5150

Don't drink too much. Seriously +1. And also, try to test your sound well before the concert. Your tone will change a lot on a PA system, compared to your home or studio. Ask for a friend to play your guitar, and you go where the audience will be. If you have a good tone and start with an easy well known song things will start right, and then you have a supportive crowd This post has been edited by Gus: Jun 17 2008, 02:44 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Don't drink lots of caffeine.
Combined with nervousness it can make you shake, a lot. |

Yeah, Hank, ur right that is actually a really famous trick
When on stage, find at least one person that likes/diggs ur playing, and play for that person ONLY. (dont go out there to play for him , but focus on that particular person) Have u played it yet? -------------------- "Never give up!"
