RUSH S&A Tour - Concert Tech Documentary - Part 2/6

[@wienerstein2817]

Man I ain't gonna lie the times have changed. A 5 truck tour in modern times (or 7) would have PA fly techs doing what these 2 guys are doing. Honestly I respect them for getting their hands dirty. It's better than watching the FOH engineers just walk away after the show and not even tip their damn console.

[@paublo84]

My record is 26 hours on the job. And thats fast paced, multi tasking, not standing around, drinking coffee like a highway worker waiting for someone else to finish their job.

[@Mattelliott1234]

man my longest day was 18 hours, and alot of that was running shows (ie not hard labour ) i thought that was bad!

[@showdonttellyyz]

"let the machine pull it up, we don't need to. that's work"

[@alexxj220]

[@snapascrew]

[@wienerstein2817]

WOW. I found a comment from 12 years ago this is crazy. Dude that's honestly insane you went from watching a doc about rush to running monitors for the biggest artist in the world. Insanity. Also love your guitar tone videos. Those are dope. Ppreciate ya.

[@snapascrew]

@@wienerstein2817 hey thanks!! Ya this doc was pretty much what got me started.

[@michaelnelson6655]

Must be a non union house because the hands are watching the techs do the work.

[@JohnGarlick2]

What kind of boxes are you flying?

[@theboatman139]

What type of Hoist controls are they using?

[@yngvaigilbsteen]

not bragging. Telling it how it is

[@SeligTiles]

They are the only two not wearing hard hats during the lift.

[@Chrisdrumz]

The guys in the helmets are the local teamsters. They aren't a part of the Rush crew.

[@Bacopa68]

They're either Teamsters or licensed guild electrical subcontractors. The contract unions are are more like a small business cabal. If they get the contract, they call their people up and pay them union scale for short term labor. They pay attention to worker safety and stick to the highest standards of quality because they know that if they slack off, their near monopoly on good jobs is lost.

[@jamesweldon9726]

Bacopa68 the "pushers" are IATSE. (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees) Usually. Depending on the jurisdiction. My wife was a part time dispatcher for the Seattle local, and she made calls for concert tours.

STOP the background music...

[@latentsea]

Background music too painfull

[@HalJikaKick]

The background music was so recitative and annoying I couldn't get through the whole thing.

[@Joe_1971]

Wonder how much a roady makes?

[@jupitergiant1417]

Why the fuck do they work in short pants and with no gloves? i can't really get how a pro is such low-security dressed...

[@alexxj220]

[@joelclonch6120]

Kill the background music and play Rush

[@rushgeddy8375]

Wall of noise

[@biopsychosocio]

I agree with that...the stupid guitar music...Jesus!
