Osckilo's Live performence journey..........

[Greeny]

Nice one, T! This is a great thread. I hope to see you performing one of these days. Although I have to say I felt extra pressure to perform well when Nigel, Kai and yourself came to watch me! You have the talent, so all you need to do is hone it in a live setting...

My top-tips for open mics (having done a few... lol)...

1. Never play an un-rehearsed song

2. Watch your speed... nerves can make you rush through a song too quickly

3. Leave a good gap between songs

4. Be yourself and be modest... it's not Wembley Stadium! (I've seen many people forget this!!!!!)

5. Playing live will eventually make your song choice easier... you'll know which ones are fun to play and which ones come across well. Or - like me - you may start writing songs that you know will sound good in a live setting.

It's a great thing to do... I'm really happy you're on this mission!

I Used one of these!



Sony ECM-DS70P Electret Condenser Stereo Microphone...
It drains the batteries though....(Plug in power needs to be on)

How much time did you get out of the batteries with that mic running off of plug-in power?

I have a gig coming up later this month that I might want to record.  Do you suppose I could get an hour of battery life using that mic?

Here it is!! Performance number three!! I tried to get it posted sooner, but I had tech difficulties.

This is my favorite one so far. I think Tharek is more relaxed and the playing/singing reflects upon this. And the special collab surprise is very nice!!

The recording was a little lopsided with not much sound on one channel, so I elected to fix it. If there are any technical defects present, I am truly responsible. Did the best I could. There is some white noise, but the performance truly supercedes that.

I would like to say: "Great job, T!!!!" A great performance!!!

Wow, this was a very good performance. I heard relaxed Tharek playing and singing. Third gig and how much T-man has improved from the first one!! You clearly enjoy live performances more and more. Nice!!!

T, you are getting so much more comfortable on stage. The only suggestions I would make would be to change up your first song now. If there are regulars, they know what you'll be doing. I think you're using it as an ice breaker and gaining a level of comfort because the next two songs were spectacular.

You're banter didn't sound nervous at all this time. You sounded like you were meant to be on stage my friend.

Id get around 2-3 hours.

great stuff again t.

[Geir]

Brilliant T!!!

You're clearly getting more confident, and your singing is just wonderful!! Your voice is really good and this performance shows that.  Loke Tony said : you are meant to be on stage.

Looking forward to the next one !

[Ted]

You're improving in quantum leaps!

That new song reminded me of Sympathy for the Devil a bit, which made me want to hear you sing it.  Then I was trying to imagine you also doing Paint it Black.

When's the next performance?
