One hour... it only took me one hour to convince the people in the back of the venue to pay attention to me.
Even though there were still a lot of people talking to each other during the show, they still paid attention to me during the conversation, which was a great sign.
During the last hour, I alternated my set list between my more rock-oriented songs, rock songs by other artists bigger than me that I knew the crowd would like, while also throwing in some of my less rock-oriented songs to show them what kind of artist I was.
Selena's advice to show people what kind of artist I was, even if they didn't like it, was very valuable.
The crowd wasn't as excited as it should have been when I was just singing rock songs, but I realized that even when I was singing non-rock songs, there were people who really enjoyed it, which was great.
That kind of audience was what I wanted to attract.
