Peanut butter on milti-grain bread with honey! And COFFEE!!! A banana for good measure = my favorite pre-concert food.
On the road to the place... about an hour away. Carries me for 5 - 6 hours w/o an energy sag.
Anyway, that plus a good warm-up pre-concert (early so no one else is in the room) to get a feel for the room, reed, etc.
Practice is limited to conserve energy, too., and mostly about last minute reed things to worry about.
For me, I usually need travel up a couple thousand feet or down 1500 ft from where I live to where I perform, and that make the reeds behave differently. I try to predict the differences, take several good reeds and no knifes, NO KNIFES, to rehs. and concerts
