THE VIBE: Band are all male between early 50's and mid 60's and all toured together for 20+ years. Crew are between 40 and 50 and have been with the band for 12+ years. They have the way they like to tour down to a science. Practical jokes are guaranteed. Some band and crew drink during and after the show, some are totally sober. This is a very light TM gig, but you will need to do the basic TM stuff and keep the guys happy with what they expect in the green room and on the bus. The TM on the last few runs will give you lots of notes to make your run go smoothly.
