I agree. The most important parts of any performed song are the beginning and the "tag" ( the ending)....espectially in a band situation. Unless its a dramatic instrumental type song ya lose em after 30 seconds (max) and if the tag is not dramatic or even if it is sloppy you have the audience saying to themselves ..."huh ???"....& as we all know....if they say to themselves "huh???" more than twice in a night, you've lost them, no matter how good the rest of the night seemed to be going.
