I suppose it works wonders on stage fright. I have never took the stuff and have never really played in front of people very much. When I have, best I can remember, I wasn’t really frightened but do remember making some playing errors, hitting wrong chords, playing in the wrong key for a while, etc. We all have seen the toll the “performance drug” has taken on a lot of famous performers.
