One thing I always do before a gig - eat well about 1.5 - 2 hours before going on. Not something heavy, though, that'll zap yer energy. I generally eat a good salad or some pasta. Something lite yet filling. Also, give yourself some time to yourself before playing, just time to relax, possibly meditate... That's about it.
During the day I go through all the sets by myself to a recording of the rehearsals, especially the difficult songs. Then change all the strings and spend a bit of time going over the guitars intonation, cleaning it, stretching out the strings.
Finally, when ya get to the gig, take a pen & paper with ya to collect girls phone numbers.... might as well take advantage of your 15 minutes of fame eh...
I eat Hershey's Special Dark candy bars with the drummer write my band's name/logo on the bathroom urinal wall with a red marker everywhere we play. No better time to read than when you're visiting the privy.
