Man, I'm exhausted. We just wrapped up my largest Harford Sound show to date. Gig loaded in on Friday the 29th, and we just finished load out today. 5 26' Penske trucks, and about 800' of truss work for this gig. 8 stages of music, a few speakers on sticks for various pre-function music, and a lot of work! This was at the Gaylord Convention Center in Washington, DC. Just over 7,500 paid admission. Needless to say, it was a lot of fun!

Assuming they were good to work with in private, the best thing about this gig appears to be the promoter. They got people through the doors, and put some spend on sprucing up the bar, which I assume was the financial anchor of the event.

Pedantic "eww" moment: Green gels and skin tones, yuck.

Very impressive. Glad to see someone was willing to spend some money on solid, safe rigs. I couldn't get my NYE promoter to swing for 25ft of bike rack!

What did the LS9 have to do with the FOH amps? or was used for foldback?
