[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 80399, member: 30"] Re: Club owners are nuts..... see Photo Maybe the meter is 1' in front of "some" speaker. I have been in those situations. Sometimes the promoters learn-sometimes not. But in either case-YOU have lost a paying gig-and the band has yet another reason not to trust local providers. In one case I provided a quote for a loud metal band in the current 9:30 club in DC but the "promoter" did not want to pay what I knew was needed-so he got the warmup bands to pile all their gear together and thought it would to-"because they had a lot of speakers". The band (who had already been paid in full before coming to the gig-SMART) showed up and refused to even unload until they got a proper system in the room. I had already taken another gig and all my other systems were out that night-so there was nothing I could do. The promoter got mad at me because I would not come and "bail him out"-even though I told him it would not work ahead of time. So somehow it is now MY fault?????? Have fun playing golf-maybe you can try to sneak in and catch the tail of the show. [/QUOTE]
