If you could specify, what would be on the table backstage(food & drink only, please)at your next gig? I just had some nice California rolls, & they make me want to play.

1. It's tasty.
2. It does not result in explosive diarrhea.

As was said before, carbs are great an hour or so before the gig (good ones, like rice and pasta etc.) greasy foods will undoubtedly lead to feeling ***** and possibly explosive diarrhea.
Right before a gig; lots of water, veggies and fruits.

Popular opinion seems to be that a meal that causes explosive diarrhea is not conducive to a good gig. I must agree, though I've never missed a gig for that reason...

If I have time to eat a couple hours before, it works out, but if not, then it is off to Denny's or Perkins or IHOP or a truckstop (in other words, any 24 hour restaurant will do at that time of the morning).

I eat whatever the wife fixes for dinner before a gig. It's usually not too heavy. California rolls are ok but ebi, ika, maguro and tako would be a lot better.

I've had a snack table laid out once or twice- for the headliner, mind you. Usually it's Jack on the way. Sometimes it ain't jack.

On top of being nervous (it was our 5th gig as a band), that meal made me and several other band members go to the bathroom 10 times before the show!!  |
