Tedster Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Or, "pharmaceutical vacation"? I already mentioned that my favorite mellow pills are Tylenol 3s with codeine. Just the right amount of mellow. But, on a more serious note, does anyone have any particular favorite way of getting rid of pre gig jitters? Does anyone get pre gig jitters? I don't really get them performance wise, unless I really feel that the performance is sucking, but I do get them, more equipment wise, "Is everything going to work or will I fry a power amp or blow a horn driver with 5 minutes to spare?" That's the kind of stuff that scares me. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 I always get the jitters until we start the last minute soundcheck. I found that HEROINE works great, and is less filling than most opiates! But, don't just take MY word for it... Seriously though, I took some natural herb that my drummer gave me (in a pill form, but I can't recall what it was) and it worked great. I'll find the name and post it, if I remember to.

Skip_dup1 Posted September 4, 2001 Share Posted September 4, 2001 about 10 minutes of stretching and/or tai chi-then a strong mixed drink (just one-cold drinks aren`t good for the voice). That`s before the show, of course. AFTER, well...one of everything, please. This message has been edited by skip on 09-04-2001 at 03:33 AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
