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

BACKSTAGE SECRETS - RUSH Snakes & Arrows Tour
57 minute High Definition documentary from the HD canadian satellite channel 'RUSH HD'. I always thought it would be cool to see a Rush program on a channel called "Rush HD" and it finally happened !

Be sure to watch in "High Quality" if your internet connection can handle the stream. This is a direct digital transfer, uploaded to YouTube in HQ resolution and sound.

The program takes you behind the scenes with Brad Madix, Brent Carpenter, and Howard Ungerleider showing you all the technical aspects of putting Rush on stage in a venue, night after night. You will be AMAZED at how much work goes into it, and how much pride & care. You'll learn about stage assembly, rigging lights, cables, mixing consoles, speakers, setting the sound, the roadie lifestyle, and the inside of the tour busses. The guys are amazingly candid and fun, allowing the camera crew to chase them all day long. They obviously love what they do.

"in 5....4....3....2....1....and roll !!"

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.

"Mr. Jackass?" "Bragging?" Are you aware that if anything happens where any of the crap should fall (assuming 7 grand = either 7000 lbs or 7 tons, which is 14,000 lbs) on someone it's on his head? Yeah, you gotta be a "jackass" if you have that much responsibility. Plus if something goes wrong, it's his ass in a sling. You're the jackass; this is like working an oil rig or crab boat in the Barents sea -- you can't leave anything to chance.

"Then again, I've always hated setting up and taking down. I'd rather write, record, and perform the music."

Pay better attention.

I read 'This work is boring as hell'. What else could you mean then that you think working at a tour is boring?

Reread my comment. I didn't say any of that.
