Does your Gig Have Fireworks?

I watched a fireworks display on the 4th of July (USA Birthday party). I noticed something that applies to gigs.

They start with a big bang, and get people’s attention.

They then get into some rhythm.

The end “sets” with a flourish and leave people wanting more.

They mix up the big bangs with softer booms, the red explosions with the green ones.

The end with their best performance.

So you can follow this lead. Make sure each set ends with a great song to entice people to stay. Make sure you don’t play a bunch of songs that sound the same (even though fireworks are great, if you watch the same type over and over, it gets boring). Most importantly, leave it all on the stage. When a fireworks presentation is done, there are no more fireworks.
