I'm sure this thread isn't meant to be read in this way, and I'm sure it doesn't apply to you guys, but I find something about overly sharp exits a little "unseemly".... it can come across as exhibiting a clocking on/off mentality that is perhaps not appropriate for all audiences and situations.
On a couple of gigs I've played, a musician has started to pack up before the show was over, only have to unpack again to do the encore; the audience watched them do this in silence while the rest of the band shuffled awkwardly about onstage. Grim.
As an audience member observed once: "terrible gig: the band couldn't wait to get out of there".
