Playing my first show tomorrow
    #18866862 - 09/20/13 09:35 AM (10 years, 4 months ago)

So I've been jamming with my cousins a lot lately and my girlfriends friend wanted us to play at a backyard show she's putting on.  We have the music down pretty well, but I can't help but think I'll get all nervous and shit.  I was wondering what you fellow musicians do to easy your nerves? I have some MDMA and LSD I could take, but I was planning on tripping today and I really don't think taking drugs would be the best for my first show, especially with the amount of LSD I'm going to take.  Maybe I'll save the MDMA.  Anyway, any tips?

I think some mdma would destroy any anxiety you will have about playing.

Yeah? I only have like 110mg, so I feel like that's a good dose.  I wasn't really feeling the MDMA for my acid trip. I think I'll save it for tomorrow...

i'd recommend just having a beer or two.  just to lower your inhibitions but not enough to fuck you up.


played years and years of regular gigs back in undergrad.  once i got used to playing in front of people, the alcohol and weed consumption would increase over time.  We played on molly, etc, but it was never as good.

I've made enough show (as a musician, illusionist, juggler and other things). I've been always sober and sharp witted (no drunk, no drugs). Getting nervous before a show is a standard behavior for all human! There are many artists, journalist, rock star, politician that before performance are still nervous (inspite of many performance).
If this is your first time I heartily recommend to be yourself and don't get anything! You'll make a soundcheck before show and it will help you to relax, and I suggest to start with easy songs (1 or 2, also for the singers to warm up voice) and all will come natural :smile:
If you do some mistake during show don't think to them, but think only what you have to do.

Trust me

What instrument do you play?

Well, I've been taking MDMA quite a bit recently so I have some tolerance and that dose won't fuck me up.  I'm also trying to not really drink right now...

I mostly play guitar and sing, but I'm also playing drums for a few songs.

Remember this when you make a mistake:  odds are, nobody in the crowd recognized it.

I finf myself to have trouble keeping a concsistent tempo when playing on anything except the alcohol.  just want to speed up.  My first couple of gigs i was sober and still had that tendency. 

adrenaline will course through your veins and it will feel amazing. 

just relax and enjoy the music.  after a couple gigs you should be on top of that shit.

Have fun with it man.  that's what matters.

You have some tolerance in a normal condition, but you don't know before a performance...you can get what you want after show, before you risk ... :smile:

Dude, play it totally sober. Maybe a beer or two. I played drums and gigged around bars for a bit, and my first show I only had a couple of beers. Trip/roll after the show! My motto is never before, only after! (work related now)

For me I stay off drugs (except a bit of booze maybe) and just enjoy myself.  Playing in front of people is just like playing any other time.  The only thing that can make it different is if your brain somehow convinces you it is but its not.

One of the worst music drugs for me is weed.  When I'm stoned my playing gets dull, unenergetic and sloppy.

kinda like everything else on weed.

A little (not too much MDMA) or a few drinks would have you rolling well in no time.

edit: as said before, do not get stoned before the show if you want to actually put your music out there.

You're scared you're going to get nervous and shit? Damn you're a grim motherfucker. I'd just be nervous about messing up, not shitting on stage.

You could always try playing sober and play some easy to play songs at the start. After the first few songs your nerves will generally become easier to deal with and you can then go on to concentrate on the music more :thumbup::thumbup:

playing on drugs is awesome. i don't see what the inclination is to tell to steer clear. (oh because it's for his nerves, n/m)

you shouldn't do drugs to calm your nerves. everytihng will be OK.

I love how on a drug site people consider music enough of a drug.  no drugs needed.  beautiful :laugh:

Ever been to a rave sober? You'll feel the music's effects. Spot on :awehigh:

It's like getting those musical chills nonstop as your mind fails to recognize the next pattern/beat.
