Autogigography

The Amersfoort crew was early, as usual, We were the opening act so we had to soundcheck. The other members were fashionably late, which resulted in pre-gig stress.

The soundcheck went well enough although there were problems, as usual, getting the soound on stage just right. And the sound in my in-ears.

I was ill. I had a fever and an hour before leaving for the gig, I sat on the couch, shaking with a fever. Still, the show must go on. This show was being videotaped so it was important to be there.

We played a good set and, unfortunately, I had to leave right after the show because I was still feeling ill. The adrenaline helped shake the sick feeling, but I decided on using that to drive home safely. I packed and went home. Nothing much to report otherwise, unfortunately.

I don’t have the gig list and I don’t remember any of it. I do know that we played all of our songs, including lieland which went considerably smoother than last time.

Next gig: Rijnhal, Arnhem. Hopefully a seriously lot less ill.

    I have one tip for performing while ill: Take one or two Jagermeister just before showtime. I’ll promise you, the gig will zoom by like a flash. Make sure you’ve got a ride home or ambulance parked nearby for speedy transport afterwards…
