Wow! That was a hot gig! Literally, in temperature terms...
Clearly our rehearsals should have included standing in the dark under electric fires. The UK has just gone from a very wintery April into a very hot May. So from practising underground in sweaters we went to that stage shirt of mine soaking in sweat.
As predicted there were some minor fluffs but good news is no false starts, no breakdowns, no major getting lost. Keeping on the one was tough though, we were down one throwback speaker, so although PA sound was great on stage we heard ourselves in a subdued way. Glad poor rehearsal acoustics prepared us for this...
Been a long while since my life has focused so much on one moment. Whoosh, and then you can hardly remember it. Only one answer to this... new set material, more practice, new rehearsals...
