Performer's Nightmare

Young guy named Taj Farrant. He's a 15 year old Aussie kid. I watched some other videos, and he's quite good (can't say great yet, but he's still a kid). But, he has an incident in this video and he gets a little rattled. Watch and you'll see why.

At this level, it would have been smart & professional to have straps on both guitars.
Unplug, take guitar off, hand to tech, sling new one over the shoulder, plug in.
Wouldn't take more than a few seconds.

The good/great performances stay with you only in the fuzziest memories. 'Yeah, that was nice."

Hell Night In Elsinore stays with you forever. In detail. You dream about it.

But you do eventually get a sense that one doesn't matter more than the other. It's just PTSD.
