    You should do one on the logistics of a concert tour. Most people have no idea that the average arena concert is built starting at 6am day of show and will be out the door by 1am, just hours after the last song. It's an incredible ballet of trucking, rigging, logistics, catering, buses, staffing, advance work, and of course, a few hours for the show itself. It's an incredible world!

    • @georgeboitan8926
      @georgeboitan8926 3 роки тому +12

      For the bigger concerts, where you have a "wider stage" or effects, there is also the pre-day assembly. Basically, everything gets build from ground zero.
      That gives more time for accurate checks, considering many elements are up in the aire, and safety on stage and around is important.
      The "magic" happens after the last song, as you said. It takes less than 5 hours to take down everything and pack it directly in the tens of lorries queuing.
      The work is at faster step, but T-Shirts codes are used for teams, in order to make the job run smooth. Every team (lights, ground cables, sound etc.) has a coloured t-shirt designated, and that worker sticks only to that colour.
      The team leaders normally have black or grey t-shirt, and they coordonate exclusively the prople with their assigned colour (for me was blue on sound, for example). Normally, yellow gets ground and trucks, easier for them to be visible in the night...
      So, whenever a concert finishes, and you are still singing in the crowd... when the stage gets stormed by staff in all coloured t-shirt is not for the party purposes. Every one wears a colour that fits him/her the job for the next hours 😉

Also, as so many Americans tend to do, believe that it's just about distance when transporting the teams to the different countries, things like customs at borders and local laws have to be factored into the equation, To drive from say, New York to California is a long distance, but you don't have to clear customs entering every State.

      Discord is *valued* at roughly $1.65 billion. That is, in a recent round of funding, the company raised $50 million in exchange for a certain percentage of ownership (I estimate 3%). If this price-per-percentage were extended to the whole 100% of the company, it would cost $1.65 billion to purchase Discord.
      But Discord itself doesn't have $1.65 billion. It's a market value.
