Our pre-show ritual in Dead Man's Curve, which we did before every
show we ever played, was to stand in a circle in the dressing room
and wave our fists, shouting louder and louder, "we will prevail, We
Will Prevail, WE WILL PREVAIL!" until we were screaming at the top of
our longs. It totally kicked out the jams and we always hit the stage
running as a result. People thought we were completely mad,
especially when we had to do it in public washrooms when we were
doing festival gigs etc.
