I played my first concert today ... was a lot of fun.
The songs didn't work for a variety of reasons - the roof of the cafeteria was corrugated and therefore the sound was dispersed and distributed in a very unacoustic manner, we played a few songs at the last moment without any prior work, we hadn't practised singing together and last but not the least, I could barely hear myself or my guitar on the monitors ... be that as it may, it was my first time on stage, singing and playing guitar and it was a serious amount of fun.

I was told that "love will keep us alive" with which we ended the set sounded pretty decent. "when I saw you standing there" was supposedly quite decent as well.

Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous at all .... the room filling up, the performance, all seemed quite natural ... amazing the clarity and calm that comes with age, especially when you buy into the transience of all experiences.

thanks dude ... the concert itself didn't fly too well, but I had a blast nevertheless ... got out of my comfort zone and did something different for a change.
