First gig in years!!
Well the time has finally some an Saturday-16th-February-2008, will be TNT's first gig in 6 years.
I'm very excited, and can hardly wait!
I remember the very first gig TNT did way back, and this feels like a bigger deal somehow.
Perhaps it's because I remember how much I used to enjoy it back then.
The nerves start to creep in a couple of hours before you go on stage, then slowly build until you finally walk out, and the everything just disapears in a haze of playing and exitement.
Other than the general feeling, I can hardly remember ANYTHING alse about that first gig with this band.
Can anyone else rember their first gig?

Congratulations!
I do remember my first gig.
I just happened to be at the very best club in the whole world -- The Blue Note in Columbia, MO. In the previous week they had hosted: Bob Mould, Buddy Guy, Ziggy Marley, Uncle Tupelo (who called the club their home base), and a whole ton of others.
Only sat about 1000 people, but that didn't keep me from freaking out. The rush was amazing. I was shaking when I came off the stage. And I would love to play there again... the best. Only the old Lounge Ax in Chicago came close.

Sure do....a little 2x4 Italian restaurant that seated only 50 (can't blame you for shakin', Todd). I was playing a Japanese guitar (Black Jack) through a Sunn 2x12 amp. I couldn't get rid of the 60 cycle hum, so I put the amp on standby, muted the strings and "played" rhythm all night. Passing one of the tables later on, I overheard someone comment on how GOOD the guitar player sounded ("...you can hardly hear him..." does that tell you anything?) ha ha ha!
Play yer butt off, brother. Have a great gig!

Thanks both.
It's only 9 am and the nerves thing has started already.
Only a very small venue (about 100-150 folks in there). But they're usually the ones that where you can really feel the audience up close and personal.
Looking forward to it now.

You'll do great.
i can't remember my first gig as I eased into playing by appearing with other musicians for a tune or two.
But I do remember absolutely slaughtering a few songs with were cheered wildly anyway.
You'll do fine...

What a night!!!
The first set was a bit stiff, but we let rip in the second and everyone got into it.
We even picked up a biker rally gig off the back of it.
Thankyou to everyone here for your encouragement, it was much appreciated.
