That "high" after a show

[Samthebassist]

You guys ever have an amazing practice, jam session, or gig? Where you get such a great feeling, and it goes through your entire body and it's almost a "high". It's so fantastic, finding just the right words are impossible.

I don't think there is a single better feeling...you guys agree?

Yup! Takes me the time to unload equipment after a show, and chill out for a couple of hours before I can sleep.

[Marco A. Mayer]

Having a great gig just makes me feel awake, alive... it's wonderful.

That's why I play. Sex is nearly as good.

[Eric Grossman]

It's the best, but I hate the "come down".

[Slax]

Just actually came from one of the best practices with my band ever. Definitely got that feeling right now. It's now almost 1am and I'm not even tired. My head is still spinning about practice tonight. lol.

Thank god it wasn't a show that went this well. I probably would be late for work in the morning, unable to shake the "high" and go to bed.

Hi.

Like stated previously, it's one of the main reasons people keep performing.

Without the high You speak about, the furstration of tearing down and getting the equipment back to the van and driving the bandmembers home before actually being able to go home, would probably be too much for me to handle.

Used to get that every time I jammed with this group. That's because the music was so incredibly untamed. Plus there were other things to contribute to the high.

That's why I play man, that feeling is amazing! A shame that not so many people get to experience it... we should consider ourselves lucky

The feeling is good... but why is this topic in the "Live Sound" section?

Yes It is awesome it makes up for me having to do all the BS that accompanys Booking Gigs setting up gear ETC.

I am the leader in my band so it is like Herding Cats to get Recordings and Practices Done but when you are in front of people liking what you do there isn't much better other then taking home a Really cute girl afterwords

I don't get that high anymore. I haven't in many years.

because you only get it when you play live..whether for an audience, or in a garage with your buddies
