Probably one for the techs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live & Kicking: The Rock Concert Industry in the Nineties (Paperback)
I picked up this book hoping to learn a little about the way production is designed, rigged and run for major touring operations. To that end I guess I was satisfied with this book.However, for those without specific technological know how, I suspect this book will be fairly heavy going. It is interesting for the gee whiz factor, but I'll be surprised if the average musician can make head nor tail of most of the facts in this book.
