[QUOTE="Lee Douglas, post: 41831, member: 205"] Re: More Outdoor Concert Woes- The Aftermath Nicely extrapolated! No doubt there are some logistics involved in making something like that happen. And the possibilty corruption and/or just plain butt hurt (for whatever reason) inspectors certainly exists. As far as getting tagged goes, barring anything previously mentioned, you know you're on a tight schedule, you should know how to do it right, so make it happen. I would think that this possibility would only help weed out the undesirables. I would think that the purchaser of said structure could include some liquid damages clauses to further discourage sleazy practices that could cause delays. And you're absolutely right. Somebody has got be the one to make that call. They delay and cancel sporting events all the time because of inclement weather. Maybe somebody on site should be responsible for keping track of NOAA's ADDS (Aviation Didgital Data Service) for current conditions. I remember playing a large event in a temporary structure in Boise when a voice from FOH came booming across both mains and mons stating that because of weather the event was cancelled, etc., etc., and then just through the monitors, "You guys need to get off the stage NOW." Moments later lighting was striking all around and the wind kicked up. While nothing happened to the stage or the gear on it (power pulled right after the last announcement) I'm really glad somebody was paying attention to what was happening and had the guts to call it off instead of sticking their head in the sand and mumbling something about "The show must go on". As you eluded, it's easy to speculate here. It's nice to have a dialogue going anyway. [/QUOTE]
