[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 34350, member: 153"] Re: Another Stage Collapse Hello Jack, I'm not sure I understand the connection you're trying to make. These Artists have been discussing the idea of adding additional clauses to their Contracts that would give themselves the opportunity to make their performance contingent in regards to specific weather conditions. Basically, if certain weather conditions exist, they can bug-out of their performance without incurring lawsuits and/or penalties, unlike most contracts today that only cover the most extreme weather conditions or, when the Promoter calls the Show. Many existing contracts do not deal with specific conditions, and are loosely worded in terms of safety of the performer, work conditions, stage conditions, etc... And...as far as I know, depending on the "weight" of the Artists, many Promoters do say NO to the Artist's, (usually in booking Negotiations) in regards to higher production demands in complex Show staging and gear. Most of these issues are worked-out in the booking process. Production and road Crew will "carefully" almost never say No in regards to the Artist's requests...otherwise, they're often replaced by those that'll say Yes. Cheers, Hammer [/QUOTE]
