Your fans fell in love with you because you met and exceeded their expectations and have continued to do so in some fashion.
Doing a back flip on stage is awesome and will blow them away, once or twice. Then it becomes expected so you have to push.
Climbing the rafters is a fantastic idea…when it isn’t already in your audiences mind that you’re definitely going to climb the rafters.
Recording a song with a reeeeeeeally high note at the end is an amazing gift to your fans, but if you do the next five the same way, it’s boring.
As you keep raising the bar on your band and business, expectations will rise and you’ll feel pressure to exceed expectations because that’s what made people fall in love with you to begin with. And you should definitely keep creating, pushing and risking.
But
The one element that never gets old or boring or run of the mill is caring, warm human interaction.
That will always be worth talking about, worth cherishing and coming back for.
Humans will never ever get enough of it.
