  • ditto russdonruss. I have seen all kinds of things go wrong with the lights and nobody noticed. I have seen ONE thing go wrong with the sound ( 1 mic not working, one loose mixer power cord, etc) and all hell broke loose!

    also ditto 287robot. If one tech thing goes wrong the crew gets cussed out, but if everything works great everybody wants to buy the band a drink.

  • sound is more important in a concert. you can always do a show in bright day light and not need extra lights. GO AUDIO ENGINEERS!!

  • @russdonruss So how do the musicians find their instruments in the dark? How do the audience find their seats in the dark? How does anyone know who you are in the dark? This is a silly argument. As a Production Manager of some 22 years, I consider all aspects of a production to be of equal importance and so should you!

  • As a musician, I can say unequivocally that sound is more important for a concert venue. If the musician's can't hear themselves or each other the show is doomed. If the audience can't distinguish instruments or vocals, or the EQ is bad the show will suck. If the lights go off while the band is playing no one will notice. If the sound goes out while the band is playing you will have a riot. People go to "see" the band, but what they are really there for is to HEAR the band play live...

  • bahahahaha! i'm a lighting director and have had this conversation with some co-worker sound guys. viva lights!!!!

  • Having done both, they are usually equally challenging.

  • I'm a lighting guy and I love when I piss of a sound guy P.S lighting is harder

  • "Light guys can kill power to everything" love it.

  • Leave it up to the Lighting guy to start it all. lol.

    I'm on audio and rigging. In the end, the band takes all the credit...

  • Hic prop propter hoc.
