The Hi; I'm into QC, I have a band and we're playing a show thread...

I've just realised that I will have to play standing up, something I never do, so I'm shitting myself over that, especially as the strap keeps falling off. I played last year too, twice, but this is more important as people I know may be going. Any tips? I remember last time the hardest part was getting over how different my guitar sounded through the shop's big amps compared to my tiny Park practice one.
Hopefully I'll get a video of it, and whore myself out over the internet tubes.

Get a better strap.
Play it standing up every day until the gig.
(And every day thereafter. Standing up > sitting down.)

I was the best. Video some time. No modesty required!

Basically my advice is getting smashed will solve any gig troubles.

Well, at the gig I was playing on Saturday I was way uptight on stage, kept fumbling around with my left hand - I think a beer or two would have really loosened me up. Maybe not drunk-drunk, but less... aware? So, sort of QFT, I guess. Apart from my fumblings the gig went well though. Also, we had Koyaanisqatsi playing via projector on the wall behind us. I think that worked well.
