Michael, mind blowing to see how much work is put into putting on a tour. Most people just see the show . Hats off to the road crew as well as the management and financial teams at home base. It's a massive undertaking.

I did a bit of this for a popular local band in my town (drum tech and even got to sit in one night when there drummers real job at a popular amusement park owned by a famous country music legend took him away for a show) and I must say even on the local level I was on it’s really rewarding work and I just wish my back was in better shape so I could have pursued this line of work more seriously

love it, thanks for the vid! To those of us who never experienced it , i can tell you it is all interesting. My questions, is the stage largely silent to the extent that without in ears the drums are dominant or is there still a fair degree of wedge/sidefill going on? Does humidity in a venue during a multi act gig really mess with the tuning of a double bass for example? If you could interview the monitor guy and sound guy and get their perspective it would be nice too. Look at me asking for a lot for free content!!!!:-)
@MichaelWWestbrook
@MichaelWWestbrook 2 года назад
Depends, with Crowder it’s mostly “silent” but they do have some bass/kick in the the sidefill subs. Usually after the instruments are in the venue for the day they settle in and are stable. We have had to watch the low humidity places for the acoustics and use humidifiers.

Older video I know, but just discovered your channel yesterday. Have you done a video on what a good, compact, essentials kit for a touring guitar tech would consist of? Like if you got a call and had to fly out somewhere with just whatever would fit in a small case, what would be the bare minimum essentials to have in the case to guitar tech for someone, especially someone who doesn't have any of those supplies to start with?

The risers on this one were plexiglass. Very heavy but they allow light to shine up through. Nothing was moving after the main stage was in place so no need to tie anything down.

Took my family to one of the 1st shows of this tour in Rio Rancho NM. Mostly enjoyed it! Will, say I found Crowder a bit disappointing, as a musician myself, it sort was just lots of noise. Hopefully they've refined their set better as the tour has progressed.
