Tonight was one of the better performances I have had with JoS since, well, joining up with Rich.
Load in was uneventful, and the venue was pretty nice (a clubhouse at an apartment complex). The first set was a complete loss; we were basically at a paid rehearsal. Some party goers milled around, talking amongst themselves and pretty much ignoring what we were doing wholesale.
The second set, however, that was a completely different issue. We led off with the Commodores' work horse Brick House. People got on the dance floor and started to groove. Well, to be more accurate, the ladies got on the dance floor, dragging a few men with them. Once they were up, and staying up, we started to cannibalize the remainder of both sets, looking for upbeat, danceable tunes that would keep them dancing. And we pretty much succeeded.
Nights like this one show me one of the reasons why I play music. The three of us were locking together pretty tightly, and we started to produce some good energy. The dance floor filled up, and they picked up on our energy, which made brought them higher. That in turn fed back to us -- a feedback loop of sorts.
All in all, one of the better nights I have had playing out recently.
