Hi guys!

Today i've an important question 4U!
What is your way to relax your hands and your mind before a concert? Sometimes, when I play in front of many spectators in a particular state of anxiety, my concentration goes down and the hands become heavy. Not always but sometimes happen.
I'm curious to know How jordan do to be relaxed when he play in front of many persons!
What is your way to relax yourself before a concert?

I drink a cup of pure Rum (Brugal \m/), smoke a couple of cigarretes, and that's it.

hahaha that poo thing remembered me something...

When I was younger, I use to do a lot of skateboard. I was participating in a small competition in my hometown and it was time for my run, but I was sitting right on the throne when they called my name. So I had to finish as quickly as possible to avoid being disqualified, which I did remarkably. And I had one of the best run in my life after that. The pressure was all gone! I was able to finish tied 5th with a guy from Quebec who was ripping my ass without the pressure of a competition.

Morale of the story : if you feel a lot of pressure, just get rid of it!

Well, it is a good idea only when you have a clean bathroom and paper toilet to do it, if you don't, well then it's a very bad problem.

Most of the places I play don't have a good place to do that thing you mentioned :) Better to take care of that business before you leave the house for the gig :)
I find that sitting down talking to friends, drinking a bottle of water (used to be beer, but can't do that anymore) is relaxing. If you worry to hard about trying to relax you'll just tense up more.
