What do you think about when you're playing. .

I'm going to sound like a pretentious d!ck but I really don't remember what I think when I'm gigging. I'm so absorbed in the moment that I think my mind is empty. Clearly I must be thinking about the performance but it's all a bit Jekyll and Hyde, I'm two different people on and off stage and don't really recall one when I'm living the other. 

Told you it would sound pretentious :D.

"Oh she's nice".
"What's the next song, I can't see my list".
"Oh that was a good drum break".
"How does he play guitar like that?"
"What's the first line of the next verse?"
"What's the first line of the next verse?"
"Jeez, I hope they didn't notice that!"

Last night:
"She had better not fall into the drums again".
"Oh good they have taken her home".
"If these buggers have to stand around and have a conversation, they could at least not form a crowd in front of me, as people are trying to watch the band."
"God, I'm tired".

once recorded a jam session where mushrooms were consumed by all.

Thought it was the best music we'd ever played.

Til we heard the recording lol

The prison in Lexington, Kentucky was also a "Narcotics Farm" and drug addiction treatment hospital - in the 40s and 50s many famous jazz musicians were sent there after they were busted. Instruments were provided, and the inmates were encouraged to make music. Most of them believed that they played better when high - so apparently part of their treatment was to give them heroin, record them playing with and without it, and play them the recordings.
