Estranged Reality

Recommended Posts

I actually work concert productions so I'm in that picture of the chairs being setup. We finished everything today by 7:00pm. I setup spotlights, alot of the scaffolding, installed the armor flooring.  This show has 33 semi's of gear total.
I've been waiting years for gnr to reunite, my first cd ever was Spaghetti Incident. Underrated album that I'm glad is getting some love on this tour at last! Anyway production was great, roadies are friendly and i got to work the show for probably my favorite band, lucky me.  I'll be on the floor tomorrow when the open the doors at 5:30 and won't leave till the load out ends at around 4AM.  You know whats really sweet, they feed us every 4 hours full catered meals plus i get to park for free tomorrow. Hopefully GNR hands out free tour shirts I'm definitely buying one anyway at the show, rather get a shirt than waste 60 bucks on 6 beers.  
Hope everyone enjoys the show tomorrow it was an incredible experience today setting it all up and knowing im in for marathon rock show tomorrow after all the sweat and hard work put in!

I was in Winnipeg a few weeks ago before we went up to Churchill and there were quite a few advertisements for the show in the papers and around town. I was wearing a Guns shirt when we went out and a bunch of people told me they were very excited for the show...hope the locals fill the place and have a blast!

Thanks for sharing this, great to get an insight into behind-the-scenes and what goes into it.  33 semis!  Bloody hell.  That is some gear.  And a 4am finish!  Glad you're enjoying it all though, hoe you check back in with us afterwards and let us know how it went from your side. :thumbsup:
