A great show, whether a live show, tv show, movie, is captivating and entertaining from start to finish. The great ones design it that way and see it through.
U2, Lady Gaga, Oprah, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve Jobs, Madonna, Tom Hanks. Start to finish, elite performers.
But while great shows are entertaining from start to finish, they’re not remembered start to finish.
We don’t remember all of it.
In fact we don’t remember most of it.
We remember the feeling so strongly, we remember the memorable moments but we lose most of the in between.
Every part of the show needs to serve a purpose. Every great show has forgettable (while still entertaining) moments. They help the memorable ones stick with us forever.
