Not to hi-jack the thread - but I'm finding that the more I play out, the more the dates are starting to run together. By that, I mean we played a gig Sat. night - I thought it went ok, nothing like John's experience. Talking with my band mates today - they all felt the same way. Wasn't a particularly spectacular show. Some notes were missed - some lyrics butchered. Yet, it wasn't a horrible show. Decent crowd, danced most of the night away - invited us back. Is that just the nature of gaining experience? Don't get me wrong - I still LOVE playing with this group of guys and will continue for as long as we can. It just seems like the butterflies are no longer there.

I find that the more shows I do the less butterflies I have, but the more I can just enjoy myself and have a good time.
We try to keep things fresh by writing and playing new songs... plus I do what I can to keep pushing my bass playing to improve... things get boring when you let yourself get too comfortable.
One of my favorite shows to date was in a small house party we did in the spring... small group of people and terrible sound, but as a band we had a really fun time. Our band ended the show with a real rockout song and by the end of it we were literally wrestling each other on the ground (I had pinned the guitarist on his stomach and was smacking his *** with my own shoes... which I had taken off to use as weapons.)
That was my 96' fireglo's first gig ever and It got a small scratch on the front. I was horrified at the time but now it is just part of the memories.
