*Audience Feedback" should always be on your mind when performing.

Learn to feel the audience response in realtime.

If it feels like you are losing them, don't plod on to the end of that long song, end it. Go immediately to another.

Always keep the transaction in mind when performing.

That transaction is simple enough, your audience are the people who are really paying you, NOT the club, venue, etc.

The audience is spending money in that venue that is used to pay us.

LOVE your audience.

It will pay dividends.
