I remember years ago, my first gig, it was great. I felt the lights on my face, and my amplifier was all cued up. It felt great for the first few moments. And then our over zelous drummer kept missing a beat, and our bassist at the time was playing a bit out of tune with my guitar. And although everything felt like It was falling apart, I kept playing, and the show went on. Thankfully our amps didn't go out.

However, the audience saw that we were very motivational, and toward the end of our show, they really gave us a huge ovation. And afterwards they personally came up to me to congratulate us on such a successful night.

Does this bother you guys? When your audience tells you how great you were, but when in your heart you know you sounded bad?
