I respectfully disagree.

If this is how one feels then they should not be gigging!

It is a big deal to the audience and to those who are paying you, i.e. the bar owners, restaurant owners, party house owners, wedding party etc. YOU are there to make them happy.

I'm not denying that playing an instrument and playing in a band is hard work. But people don't see that preparation, all they see is the finished product.

To me playing a gig and having the audience enjoy what I or the band is playing is the ultimate high. YMMV

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
