We are our own worst critics. I heard what amounted to a nanosecond of insecurity -- not enough to get excited about.
Reminds me of a story. I saw the Canadian Brass in the Philharmonie in West Berlin, Germany, in about 1987 or so. Live performance, of course. Ronald Romm played the Carnival of Venice and he absolutely butchered it. Couldn't get tongue and valves synchronized for anything. I thought many things -- they had just gotten off the plane and were exhausted, or the airlines lost their luggage, or maybe he was sick.
It all reminded me that we, as musicians, are human and are subject to human frailties.
Leave it up, Dave. You're a class act and this performance is not going to change that.
