How Do You Wind Down After A Gig?

[BananaKing]

Awesome suggestions everyone, much appreciated.

Wow BananaKing, you have been down this path, haven't you? Those song suggestions are outstanding.

Thanks. I found my way to deal with it 95% of the time, so I hope it helps others with this issue.

Something to eat and watch some TV does it for me.

I drink til I pass out....

I don’t drink at gigs, so when I and my drummer/buddy/neighbor get back to my house, we sit in the music room to review the night, and I drink vodka until I pass out.

Got home from the gig this morning, same thing with no vodka, and I’m still up.

pack all my gear up and usually come home and stick on a fresh pair of socks if i didnt at the venue. i cant stand dirty socks after a gig

Didn’t read the whole thread… did anyone mention those CDs that play thunderstorms in the background, or train/track sounds, or crickets, ocean waves…


just lay there and focus on that and it might work.

Two beers and TalkBASS at 3 AM. We don't have any roadies so my 58 year old body is usually a bit worn out by then. I usually do about 3 weekend gigs per month.

I'd rather be doing something doing else but I've learned to respect her need for sleep.

Now you're talking my language.

A warm shower/bath is great for winding down after a gig. Plus, considering how hot Atlanta summers are, it helps to get all that sweat and grime from the gig off of me before I get into bed.

Unless I'm starving when I get home, I try to not eat/drink anything. As tempting as it is to knock out some beers to go to sleep, that only makes me wake up a couple hours later to run to the bathroom.
