When we call a performance barnstorming, we mean it is full of energy and to watch — a speech that wakes the room, a match where someone plays as if they cannot sit still. The word comes from those old touring shows in barns and fields, where the whole point was to hit hard, make a noise, and move the crowd. Though actually, you can use it even when nobody has left town and there is no barn in sight. It is praise: not quiet, not careful, but a rush.
