If all your show does is inform people of your songs, then you’re doing it wrong.
People don’t go to shows for information, they come to experience, to hope, to levitate even just for a few moments.
There are better ways to be informed of your music than a live show…i.e. your records: the bass is tighter, the vocals are perfectly panned and balanced, that extra synth line is in there, they can rewind if they missed a part or want to hear it again.
But people don’t go to shows for bass compression, appropriately panned vocals, the extra synth line or to rewind a song.
So at your gig STOP informing people of your songs…instead, you need to show them the way. Using your songs and the time in-between your songs. You must show them the way into the present.
