The show starts when you walk on stage and doesn’t end till you walk off stage.
The whole time you’re up there it’s the show. Even when you don’t feel like it is. Even when you think it’s just in between songs and isn’t part of the show and no one is really watching…it’s still the show.
How much intensity, what kind of intensity, what and where the big moments are, the silences, the script, the transitions, the beats and grooves and notes…that’s up to you. Those are your tools for your show.
But by far the most important thing to learn, remember, understand and play around with is that the entire time you are on stage you are putting on a show.
