For me, if its a practice, It gets more intense every time I play it, before moving on to the next song. Maybe the first song or so.
At gigs, usually halfway thru the first set. By then, it’s supposed to all be muscle memory, right?
When the girls I play with turn to look back at me, and I’m gyrating all over my spot like I gotta pee, they smile, knowing I’m warmed up!

About five minutes of warmup does it for me.
It’s either go-time, or not. If not, no longer amount of “warming up” time helps a bit.
