If you’re going to go back on the road it has to be great. The show has to be great.
That’s the only way it’s worth it.
If all you’re going to get up there and play your songs then stay home and do a Youtube Live.
The show has to thrill the audience. To cause them to suspend their anxiety and apprehension. To drop their worries and troubles for a while…so when they pick their worries and troubles back up they’re infused with hope and in a more beneficial priority than before.
You must give attention to every detail. It’s got to be locked in.
Opening the show, sustain, pace, lifts, lulls, builds, climax.
The moments when people pull out their phones to take pictures should come as no surprise.
The climactic end should never be in question.
The vacuum that the audience feels when you walk off stage should be heart stopping.
Your show isn’t too small that it doesn’t need this type of care and attention and you’re show isn’t too big that it doesn’t need this type of care and attention.
Dig in. Make it tight. Work the flow.
