It went well. They were begging us not to stop.
Surprise of the evening: One of the few times they sat down and didn't dance was during Mustang Sally. That's never happened to me before. At least not when they were dancing their butts off the rest of the time.
As a band we need a little work on our showmanship, but as individuals I think we did fine. We just need to work together as a group more.
As for our playing, well, there were plenty of mistakes. Most of them *I* made came from the thing that happens to me the first few times I gig with a band where I'm watching how the audience is doing and how the band is dealing with it. That's take care of itself.
All in all, it was very cool.

You don't work music, you play it.
