My first stadium/arena gig tomorrow!

I'm super excited to be opening for Tom Cochrane (a fairly big name here in Canada) at Scotiabank Place Stadium here in Ottawa.

Never played a room this size, and it'll be part of a documentary. I'm also going to be using my GoProHD as a drumcam to capture everything.

I am so excited!
 
Good luck.

The interesting thing to me about huge shows, I never get nervous for them. On the other hand, I've gotten nervous from time to time when I played a real small venue when in the audience are people I respect as players themselves. Go figure.

completely agree

there is a certain disconnect to playing a 3000 or 5000 seat theatre or whatever it may be.....I never feel a thing besides ....lets get it on!!!!

but at a jazz gig where there are 80 people staring right at my face .... I get those jitters



go get 'em Xero
you are gonna kill it

take a flick from behind the kit
that is always something nice to have
 
Thanks guys!

I agree, smaller venues tend to be more intimate, and thus I get a little more nervous. This one, I'm not nervous, just PUMPED. I know the material, just a matter of doing what I do.

Seriously can't wait.
 
How exciting! Congrats. Be sure to fill us in on everything.
 
Thanks for the tip.
I'll be there.

Thats Great!

Looking forward to hearing your analysis of playing in such a large venue.
 
Good luck.

I know what you mean there.for me it's much harder to play for a very small crowd than 50,000 people...

Have a great gig. See if you can get some pictures of the stage and post them.

I was there. I took my wife and son who has never really seen a concert.
You gotta love any concert that starts with Zeppelin's Rock n Roll.
You seemed to know the songs well. Good job!
 
I just saw this, but I hope it went great. Please check in and let us know!

Tom Cochrane... awesome. Been a big fan forever.
 
Had an amazing time on stage last night at Scotiabank Place, opening for Tom Cochrane. Here are a few pics. I'll throw up some video when it's finished uploading. I took the GoPro on stage and got a great drumcam video of the whole set.

I'm also waiting on a board recording so I'll sync that up with the video for better audio.
