I'd like to say I have clear memories of the booze-fueled gigs I've done, but that whole period is kind of a blur. Some of the things Rask mentioned are stirring dim recollections.

This brings to mind a scene in the film "Crossroads" where the young fella was pumped because he thought they had played so well at a bar. Old 'Blind Dog' explained to him that the audience were simply in the mood to party, and had only heard their alcohol.

Sound familiar?
