I need to play a show that is not attached to a Premier Music event. I spend so much time stressing about the whole event that I don't settle in musically for a while. A student shot some video from the other night and I remember being pretty preoccupied the whole first set with other stuff. The second set I just set fuck it, taught the guys "Purple Rain" on stage and had a good time from that point on. I wish there was video of that
Anyhow, there is "Roar", "Can I Take You Home?" and "I'm Gonna Leave" on the video. My original idea was to play the whole album down in order for the first set. About halfway through I felt like I was losing people so I called some audibles and played some more energetic stuff. I think my album makes a great album to listen to but for shows I need to write some more "up" tunes and treat the live show like a different animal.
I think the band played great...I'm still stumbling a bit here and there trying to remember lyrics and rework guitar parts while I'm singing.
