[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 34348, member: 441"] Re: Another Stage Collapse I have followed this topic both on PSW and here and have held my silence as I have no input on the actual staging part of the discussion. However, we are now into the music business aspect of this tragic event and I do have some input. This and similar events of recent past raise a very good question IMO: "Have today's acts come to expect a level of production that warrants a size of stage that cannot realistically be both mobile and safe to use under weather conditions that are realistic to expect at events?". As we know, the weather will continue to do what it wants. So, if the answer to the question is "yes" then we need to decide what needs to come out of the equation: - Size of production. - Mobile. Either one will have great impact on the top level of the music business. My thoughts go out to all affected by this, including the owners of the gear and the hands that put it up - they must be going through hell regardless of whether it was done by the book or not.
