    Does he hair flip like Stamos?

    How many pieces in the band?

    How many roadies or crew travels with a performer like that? Like one for each band member? More? Less? What does your crew do if their roadies load them in and out? Stage curtains and lights?

    Seriously, curious...

    Actually it's just his stage manager who's the diva. Lyle DGAF he's chill.

    Tour
    A1 Audio
    A2 audio
    Monitor engineer
    Lighting
    Stage manager
    Production manager

    I think we had like eight locals for load in they worked four hours.

    Only dept heads stay all day which is me and three other guys.

    Also one runner for the production.

    Catering got me in a food coma bout to get back in my hammock.

    Lighting is two sticks of truss, five rigging points. Audio is a baby line array two rigging points. Handful of moving lights and conventionals.

    Stage is a rug. Not even a drum riser. Four or five guys I really haven't paid attention I was in the hammock for sound check.

    Cool, I figured about one for each band member... pretty close.

    Is your hammock backstage?!

    Of course. Up on the mid rail because I haven't gotten any couches for the crew yet.

    The L acoustics Kara system sounds fking amazing. Tiny boxes completely filling this room.

    You better harness rig yourself... safety first.

    Educate me... is that like the Bose wave system on an industrial level?

    Why? Is that slang for boys that are hoes? Bose? Hit too close to home?

    Oh wait a minute I forgot I was talking to “what’s my move” :Poke::crackup:

    Seriously though.... that brand not cool with the industry? I’ve never seen a stack of Bose amps at any concerts that’s for sure :D

    Years ago I had a buddy who did the board for some tours and eventually just for certain venues. He was also a huge Motörhead fan.
    “I had to stop doing fill in with them, I could only eat so many gas station burritos washed down with my own bottle of bourbon.”

    Today the Simon and Garfunkel story. I'm curious who exactly is coming to this.

    just googled it and holy f@ck, sucks majorly for you.

    Combine up the sleep inducing, soul killing folk music of those two with a theater show.

    Did you die and go to music Hell?

    "Since its SELL OUT in London's West End, 'The Simon & Garfunkel Story' is now the World's leading theatre show concerning Simon & Garfunkel"

    Are there other touring shows "concerning Simon & Garfunkel" ? :)
