Limber up and keep your fingers as warm as you can before you go on.
Also, a Salamander helps.
They did not have any kind of portable heaters that ever noticed. I notice just playing on my porch when its in the 50's or less that it is much more difficult to play the faster things
Yeah, you gotta keep 'em limber and the blood flowing through them. Also, I can't say anything about the stuff you watched - but they lip sync a lot of that stuff, which makes me kinda annoyed because they pilloried Millie Vinilli for that - except many, many performances are pre-recorded.
But, yeah, keep 'em limber and the blood helps keep them warm. Plus, you'll do a lot for a $100,000 check to perform for 20 minutes.
I saw them in person. I don't think they were lip synching, but they could have had the music piped in with the mics live
