Alternate title: Matt gets to go to summer camp and occasionally gets distracted by drum tech work.

[@tiktokgenie]

Let’s all appreciate the hard work that goes into making these videos!

[@cm_shadows]

My girlfriend was laughing at me because I play drums on a nightly basis - load gear, sound check, play the show, load out - and this is what I come home to watch and decompress lol

[@BoySetsFire83]

😂 same here.

[@feenaurm]

You have a girlfriend? Guess their might be a little bit of hope for all us us after all

[@Dazlerdee49]

We all love gear I’m a drummer for 30 years had to work at it but Jesus I can do tech and gear and sound I love our boys videos takes me away from day job, which ain’t bad.

[@ivosepulveda]

Same to me 😂 im a audio engineer but the filling is the same :,v

[@azimjenkali]

Hahahaha cant blame her man..

[@SJGR81]

When they figure it out it will be a day to remember. Why does watching someone else, set up someone else’s drums make gig day so cool? You are a hoot Matt! Love this guys cymbal choices.

[@jessethomassen6683]

S2F crew since day one and haven't gotten bored or disinterested once that whole time! Keep doing what you're doing Matt you're awesome and your video's are the highlight of my day whenever you upload! Lots of love from the Netherlands

[@jstamets]

Man, they treat you so well and the band dumps streamer, confetti and TP all over the venue 😂I managed a theatre for a while and all I can see is "God, I gotta clean all that up..." When I toured we never hit anyplace so nice!

[@777shades]

There IS something very satisfying about the sound of well built, quality gear being assembled.. Irrespective of its purpose.

[@Mici1]

I love the tone and humor you put in all the subtitles. "Crowd gonna start gifting subs" 😂😂

[@BrooksHolt]

3:30 hell yeah. mixing my two worlds together 🤘🏼

[@GPMusicx]

The best backstage experience in the country, should be standard at all large venues lol

[@holywater44]

It’s standard at my HOUSE lol DW custom Oak beautiful, the kit of my dreams,best sounding kit I’ve ever played.

[@JohnnyTorontoEh]

S2F!!! And TOTALLY worth it! What a blast. And really, they don't have to go to such lengths to keep crew happy but they do. One of the best so far Matt! Thanks for taking us along once again.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

I’ve worked some beautiful places from the mountains of Colorado to hills of NC and spots in between. But nothing that had an arcade, a miniature golf, and a pool, although we did go wading in the cold ass water in Telluride. Looks like a very nice place. And as someone who started in the business cleaning up after shows to get a chance at a spot working local crew, I feel for those poor folks cleaning up the mess. I will say this though, I remember working Merlefest a few years in the early 2000’s and the patrons cleaned on their way out. All the cleanup crew had to do was pickup and empty the trash cans. Blew my mind. Them bluegrass fans had a lot of old hippies. As for catering, I’ve never seen anything like this for rock and roll. I did a couple events for a very famous black female daytime TV star who makes everyone sign an NDA from Hell that catered like this but that’s the list. Lobsters?🦞 I guess that makes up for the meals where you’d rather take a $20 dollar buy out and send the runner for burgers or hot dogs.

[@markbrewer4862]

Start to finish crew! Always awesome and informative videos!

[@thousandwattflowerpot5419]

[@RandomGuyCDN]

o7 Josh. Take care of that back! One that starts to go and get hurt it will really mess you up in the long run. Never apologize for being too quiet, sometimes the ambiance of everything going on is good enough. That catering setup looks like absolute fire. S2FC Lets go.

[@egiarrusso4472]

S2FC incredible venue. I was really expecting some mini golf. The bike ride through the theater was epic. Hopefully your back is feeling better. Awesome video as usual.

[@nahunrodriguez4094]

Always until the end of the video! ❤ I love watching how you work, it's educational and fun for me. Greetings from Honduras! 🇭🇳

[@Thefineartofdistraction]

I love watching all your videos, you give such an awesome insight of what it looks like & what happens before a show of a big touring band. I wish & hope that the day would come where I get to hire a drum tech as good as you, you are so friggen professional. YOU ROCK 🤘😝🤘

[@Diesal3]

STFC! That place does seem awesome. Its more like a family camping trip than a concert venue.

[@Bolly.nr34]

[@DILAIOficial]

Nice vid Matt, keep going!

[@phoenixbt]

STF crew checking in and that’s my local venue!! Glad you enjoyed it - it’s such a great place for shows. Thanks for the videos - love seeing all the footage!

[@WickedSativa869]

That place is amazing

[@-WoodyVT-]

I'm so glad to see you've worked Gilford! It was awesome to see the backstage action. I live in VT, so it's my go-to for shows the venue is unlike anything else in the Northeast. Wish I was going this year, but scalping has gotten crazy on some of the shows I wanted to go to... $1200 for Chris Stapleton this year is nuts. Keep on rockin'! Love the content!

[@rileyinthevoid]

STF crew checking in! Also hearing some Steely Dan playing as you get lunch, always a good time!!

[@heavymetal1330]

In bloom! Simple but remarkable! Hell yeah 🤘🏻

[@arguy2021]

What a killer venue and an absolutely legendary. Lol

[@patrickppoauger8565]

Hi Matt, thanks for the bike tour. It's look like a cool place out there. I like your video, verry fun to see.

[@djdood]

Love that that place makes it like a resort for the touring artist and crew. I can see why you love it - I've never seen anything like it (I was always happy if the venue even had a deli platter out for us ;)

[@andrewjmcgee]

outstanding, Matt!!

[@captee08]

Being in the front was a very cool experience with my boy and seeing ADTR for the first time was even cooler…seeing from your perspective was very cool!! We in NH have it lucky with the Pavilion and with speaking with the guys from FATN, the backstage is killer!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@mikecortes8481]

Damn they sounded good out of the crate!! Well done my man. 🤙🥁

[@northeastoutrider2124]

Back min the day, that place was my home venue. I covered a lot of local production there when I wasn't on tour. It was always a chill experience and the owners are great people.

[@josephwood255]

Gilford has always been my favorite place to play. Amazing Staff, Tons of shit too do if you’re there for more than a day, and the only venue in the US that serves LOBSTER for catering.

[@csbsrich]

Love the videos you are a true pro. Never seen catering like that wow

[@capnblack3721]

This place is freaking cool!!

[@hektorlinko]

Dude first of all I love all of your videos and always enjoy them but THIS VIDEO....? Damn this is easily the "FUNNEST" Video and I was smiling like a kid the whole time watching this. That venue just seems like a high spirit fun happy positive place for everyone working hard to guys behind the scenes like yourselves and to the bands and anyone with business there. They obviously know how to take care of a crew. Thumbs Up Brother Bear and shared! A+++++
