    I did it the other way round, put my water in a Newqey Brown bottle to try and look more down wid it

    Had to read that slowly a couple of times to get what you meant 0-o

    It is, and I've done it. For quite a few years in fact

    Nip home and do it. In fact, you could do other things as well!

    Enjoy yourself. And if you're not enjoying yourself, make it look as if you are. Its a performance for Pete's sake. Earlier bands I've been in have won BOTB competitions against technically superior bands because we looked like kids on blue smarties in a bool pall and they looked like they were at a funeral. Unless you're in The Cure. Then the opposite is true

    Some may find this odd, I've taken to brushing my teeth in the half hour changing time that we allow ourselves before we play. I'm usually far from home so have my toothbrush/paste packed anyway. Try it, it works wonders

    I agree with this. I used to race motorcycles, and was told that the day that I am lining up on the grid with no nerves whatsoever is the day to stop. A little bit of adrenaline/anxiety/nerves etc is good for the performance I feel. If only there was a fader to control the levels

    I've always had it, crippling some days, its never gone away. Actually getting on stage and playing sometimes provides relief but not always. Only thing I've found that helps is a mint tucked in my cheek to help with the dry mouth, which isn't so good if I'm singing. For me, its about baring my soul up there in front of all those people, matters not how well prepared I am. I do find that the bigger the gig, the less anxious I get. Which seems to be the wrong way round doesn't it

    Another tip, again age related, print/write your setlist in a typeface big enough to be read with out kneeling down and squinting between the songs

    I'm with you on the shoes thing, I jump around a fair bit on stage and coupled with the fact I'm no longer in my youth, and neither is my waistline, I found myself barely able to stand in the mornings after sometimes. I just last week bought a pair of Skechers most comfortable-ist shoes that will be used for stage use only, as I was told that they were the most cushioned thing there is. It's like putting your foot into a Flump. I've only used them once in anger so far but I think they're gonna help, they were expensive (to my tastes) but worth it

    The cost of those Chris Square basses has historically been criminally undervalued, but they seem to have turned a corner now.
