    Yes this is the show where the band decided not to sell merch due to high merch cuts. This causes the band to have to raise prices which ultimately comes out of your pocket. We dont play that game.

    The techs and roadies are the unsung heroes of concerts. They gotta show up before everyone, set everything up, then are the last to leave after tearing it all down.
    I imagine it's an even longer day for headlining bands since their stuff goes up first and comes down last.

    You just cannot beat DW in the hardware world, at least in my opinion. I have a 9000 rack and love it to death, everything is so easy to setup and tear down, and all DW components fit together like Lego bricks. Their drums are amazing to me as well, have a Collector’s copper snare 5.5x14, best snare I’ve ever played. I love watching all these videos Matt, keep up the great work!

Funny thing, my band was Dave Clark 5 and I'd catch her bee-boppin' to 'em. She'd have been 50-51 but old school country farm girl. Our house wasn't exceptionally large but she let my band practice whenever we wanted. Never complained once.

    I am so amazed at the budget a band has to have even at this level. The only reason I know of that band is bc of Luke and You Tube. How is there anything left at the end of day. Great videos but it's also a testament to how professional you are that the band lets you do these. Plus you know what you're doing so that helps. Merry Christmas. 🤘

    Funny, I saw FIR at The Armory in San Francisco in 2018 with TDWP, ADTR, and Papa Roach. That building is even cooler looking, it looks like a castle in the middle of San Francisco. Too bad they stopped doing shows there, it was fun.
