Tom, you did something amazing! You open the door which many people think that keep open all the time. But all around the world, people believe that performance, behavior, craft, or whatever they call the stage performance is coming by default from somewhere. Thanks a lot, man! You know that you are great and that`s why I`ll repeat - THANKS A LOT!
Hey Tom, I wanted to write you a quick note to thank you for offering your educational services online. I just discovered you two days ago and have subscribed. As a former high school teacher, I can tell you spent a lot of time preparing this series and your professional consulting experience is extremely evident. I'm going to have my guys watch this series to help us prepare for our first tour. We're already doing some of the things you suggested but some never occurred to me and make tremendous common sense. I'm looking forward to watching all your content on your other videos. I'll bet you address some of my questions like drinking before or during a gig, hanging out at the venue after a gig and drinking, doing any activity at the gig that could jeopardize the band''s professional relationship with the decision makers, treatment of sound guys and staff. We're taking advantage of the virus downtime to improve our show so we're ready when things open back up. I have friends in Nashville that are leaving because Broadway has been closed too long. I hope those venues are able to survive the closings. I wonder how the venues will fill band slots when things reopen. My one question is what would you do to survive the virus downtime?
Amazing videos! Thank you so much! My question will be this: what if we got a really awkward place to perform, and it feels like no chance to engage with the audience. We felt like some speakers that nobody can see. What can we do in such a case?
Love all this info in this series. What do you suggest for bands to create moments on small stages with not a lot of room to move around. I know we try not to look like statues on stage as much as possible but there are times were its tight quarters.
The mistake here is thinking that some stages are just 'too small'. True it's harder to move equipment past each other. So make up the difference in a few ways. Interact with each other more as a band. And interact more with the audience. You're not playing Madison Square Garden, so you can build an even closer relationship to the audience. Consider them to be 'with' your band. And final thing is, maybe lose a guitar for a song. Play around vocally and positionally when you have less equipment to work with. Best I can give right now, but be sure to keep an eye out for more vids to come!
Post more vids Tom!!! 😀
