- This is a time lapse of the crew loading in the equipment for the Maroon 5, Overexposed Spring tour. Every show day 12 semi trucks of gear is loaded in, does a show, and then is loaded out. There are 115 points to hold the entire rig up in the air and it weighs 112,340 pounds.

This is really cool. People who set everything don't get enough credit and seeing this video shows how much work goes into the show.
You’re right, they don’t. That’s why sound guys are some of the most miserable people out there. The band gets all the credit but without the sound guy there’s no concert
@@TellURide447 Don't forget the lighting guy as well..
@@100000014 "there can be a concert without lights, but there cant be a concert without sound" - my dad 5 years ago
@@TellURide447 dont forget the stagehands who build the stage. there is also no show without them
in all honesty, people who do this deserve so much more recognition and credit. without them, an artist would be unable to sell out stadiums or arenas. amazing hardworking individuals. much respect and thank you to all the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes.
They deserve more pay too
What a beautiful time lapse! I use this video to explain to friends and family what it is I do. I pretty much just narrate over the video and explain what everyone is doing.
Thank you for the kind words. I have another from American Idol but I did that one in one day so it’s not as elaborate.
Watching this brings back memories of the years I worked for one of these companies and hearing someone bellow "TRUSS IS MOVING!!!"
I worked a Maroon 5 show in Nashville a few years ago when they had the "fish tank" stage. It was a huge pain in the ass to build but look cool as hell when during the show.
Ive seen this show so far 4 times on this tour.. and the lighting is SO AMAZING nothing like we have ever seen before at a Maroon 5 show! The fans LOVE the production of it!! Amazing job!
Stage design and set-up is a science in its own right literally.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put together. Behind the scenes production is what makes it worth the ticket price IMO.
I absolutely love this, it's amazing! Thank you for sharing. The crew does a fabulous job.
Wendy, load in is from about 8am-4pm just as XSimplexMindedX said. The bulk of the work is usually done around 2pm depending on the venue and how much dock space we have. The out averaged about 2 hours and 20 minutes throughout the tour.
This is Labor..The average day for a stage hand is 12 hours.. Most shows are 4-6 hour blocks in a 16 hour turn around but...Shows like this can be a full 20 hours on the run,. We are busy Unloading trucks, Pushing boxes, Hauling up LED walls, unstacking decking and setting up the stage, hanging the truss after setting lights and motors, Running speakers, Wires Subs and video equipment.. then . Boom, Show time, Take a break, 30 min- 2 hours to eat and take in the view, Then, Lights up, end of show, We break it all back down, stack it in crates, cages and boxes, We then push all that equipment around corners Up ramps and through corridors for nearly 1/8 of a mille to a line of trucks and We pack it all back up for the next show. Some of us, Do it all over again 4 hours later . Keep that in mind when you are planning your day at the office for the Concert this weekend.
props to all those awesome people for putting that together!
This was a combination of a few shows. It was shot with a GoPro HERO2 camera. Each angle is a different show because on this tour I only had 1 GoPro out with me. The shows that come to mind are Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Omaha. I think there was one other, but Can't think of it off the top of my head right now.
It was a truly amazing show, and I knew tons of work had to go on behind the scenes to make it all happen. Best concert I had ever been to! (Detroit 2/14/13) Incredible job done by the whole crew! Bravo!
Good Work I.A.T.S.E. LOCAL. Nice Load in
"Truss Moving!!! ..... Like Jagger...."
WOw, amazing work, you guys are fantastic!
What a loaddd in it was amazing dude
This is so awesome! Great job!
Awesome Jeff! Totally awesome. I even paused the Kings game to watch it.
It's incredible. I can't wait for the European tour!
I'm so glad most of my concert going days was in the 1980's before all the distracting giant video screens.
All I can say is Amazing!
That is One More Night by Maroon 5
not one..but TWO GrandMA2s and a DigiCo desk.
If you look during the show only one desk is being used. The other is probably networked in with the main one and is being used a tracking backup in case of a failure of the main one. A backup desk is common at most shows.
The other one is being used for the monitor engineer most likely
and maybe, another DiGiCo for stage monitoring :) Is it?
simply wonderful video thanks..padrisimo me encanto
These are always fun to see. I just wish the venue was mentioned for clarity. Anyway, question for all the experts who are reading this: does the venue/arena/promoter set up the camera for this footage and charge the band a fee or does a crew member from the band set up the camera in advance? Just curious about the logistics/process.
Hi Jav, Sorry for the delayed reply. I am the guy who filmed and edited the footage in this video. I was also a crew member on the Maroon 5 tour. The reason I didn't post what venue it was is because it's multiple venues over different nights. I did this so I could achieve more angles of the load in. I hope this answers your question.
Moron 5 is one of those bands I don’t tell my friends I like. It’s my guilty pleasure.
Fantastic insight, thank you for the reply. Huge undertaking to set up these shows. Wall st journal had article this week about concern many techs/roadies are out of industry now so there is not enough knowledgable experienced workers for the glut of expected shows post-pandemic this summer.
I am one of the ones who has been lucky to find work lately. it was extremely tough over 2020, but I was also lucky enough to have worked for much of the start of 2020 before the shutdowns. I am not entirely sure what to expect over the rest of 2021, but I remain hopeful.
I just checked and the show was from Jacksonville, FL.
I whold love to do this for my career
Otis Simmer it's fun
Yes.
very cool!
Still rockin a pm1d in monitor land.....risky business ;)
amazing
Wow amazing
No Maeexx, it was mostly Kansas City and Omaha. The show was in Washington DC I believe, I can't remember.
Jeff Wuerth I live near DC and frequent Capital One Center and this isn’t it. Great video though no matter what the venue is. It could be a University arena around here though I’m not familiar with most of those.
Jeff Wuerth whoops I hadn’t read your other comments before I spouted off.
nice work..
Very cool.
None of these were from LA, Most of them were from the end of the tour. Each view is a different day.
Eu gostei...quanto fica uma estrutura dessa ou similar...É tão dinâmica genteeeee...gostaria de saber onde orçar de maneira bem mais dinâmica. ..onde encontrar esse palco sem maiores dificuldades 💋👋🏼
Very nice video good
This almost makes me miss working concerts, TV is much less labor intensive though!
OMg is amazing! From where is this show?
I Love song I LOVE Maroon 5! I LOVE Adam!
Come to Georgia!
Nice !
hey are you on tour with them
Look cute after seeing the one from Rammstein
was this the Minneapolis show? I was there (:
was this done by upstaging? I wanna get a job with them so bad I have 4 years lighting and sound experience from highschool starting to go to school for it and want to work for a awesome company that does things like this
yes this was done by Upstaging. I work for the company. visit the website. I believe you can apply via the website. I also believe they're always looking for experienced lighting people.
Hey just gunna let ya know that the other place was Tulsa Oklahoma cuz I as there! I match the shots u got with my vids and n that was the place! Very cool video btw I subscribed!
haha every one warping 8-D anyway amazing video !!
Amazing!
Sound system? L-Acoustics?
+Mindaugas Laurišonis It's a Clair i5 PA.
Who’s in charge of pay for sound guy, people who set up stage equipment, truck drivers (or truck rental fee), and others? If their pay gets from the concert ticket fee, actual pay performers get would be low, I think. Or Do performers get all of the amount of concert ticket?
In the case of a tour, the Band or Artist will hire vendors to supply everything like the lighting, sound, video, trucking, busses for band/crew. In some cases there are personal that work directly for the artist, and do not get paid through a company and a band will pay them directly. A promotor like Live Nation or AEG will handle paying the band at each show. After that the band pays everyone they have hired to make the show happen (vendors/direct hires).
Approximately how long does this take?
Were any of these in LA?
Nevermind, i remember. Cuddles was the guy that ran lighting.
was this in san jose?
I'm pretty sure im in one of these. lol
I work for IMC out of the Miami area.....i remember the load in and load out of this production at the BB&T center in Sunrise. I got stuck in lighting working for a guy with piercings in his face with a funny nickname.......damn, what was his name!? if you work for Upstaging i'm sure you know. lil help?
You should find the venue bigger than this.
Does the band bring their own stage, and bring their own lighting rig? Or do the buildings provide it for you? Do you use just 1 for the tour, or do you need to send to one ahead to next night, so it is set for the show on back-to-back nights?
Hi Joel. On this tour we brought everything, Stage, Lights, and Audio. The only thing the building provides is the roof and a power on the wall that we plug our distros into. On a tour like this we had 12 trucks that were loaded in and out every show day. Nothing was sent ahead, we were able to do a show one night in New York City and a back to back the next night with all of the same gear in Manchester, NH.
@@JeffWuerth Thank you. Great insight. Glut of shows expected this summer, and many in industry (performers and road crews) have moved on to other employment due to industry shutdown. Challenging time.
what projectors are you using for the rear projection displays?
I was on the audio crew, but I believe they might have been Barco? Unknown if that is correct because this tour was way back from 2013.
@@JeffWuerth might have been hdf-w30s. Thank you for the quick response!
gopro camera? 64GB microSD cards? how long does the recording take and what resolution 1080p ?
It was taken with a GoPro HERO2 so the max card size was 32GB. The camera was set to photo mode and took a photo every 10 seconds. The photos were processed with Adobe Lightroom where I exported them with the HD resolution. I used QuickTime Pro to create the video from the individual still images.
+Jeff Wuerth I whold love to do this for my career
What type of concert speakers of those???
The main+ Side hang are both Clair i5+i5B. The rear hang and infills are Clair iDL.
Interesting. The Clair site says the i5b is a subwoofer designed to be hung alongside the main array? That seems like a new idea, and I wonder if it actually has a benefit for the sound? How does it compare to the L-acoustics solution with the majority of the subwoofers hanging behind the main line array speakers? What about the D&B Audiotechnik solution with the subs above the main line arrays in the same hang, and extra subs on the ground for more LF extension? Or really, how does the i5 system compare in general to those systems?
How long did it take?
This tour was from 2013, but generally they start load in around 7am and finish load out around 1:30am (about 2.5 hours after the show).
Is this really done in 24 hours? O.o
This particular show from start of load in until after show and end of load out was less than 24 hours. We would often do 2 shows in a row in 2 days all with the same gear and people. Over certain dates, we did 3 shows in a row in 3 different cities.
Arena changes like 3 times
Why are the screens SOO high up?
Very good question Owen. Screens cause sight line issues when seats are sold behind the stage. This show was sold as what is called 270, which means there were people sitting behind the stage (270 degrees). In addition to sign line issues, depending on how far down stage (forward, into the audience) the screens are they can have a very negative affect on audio. Running the screens higher can eliminate this issue. I hope this answers your question.
Also forgot to mention, on this production due to how they wanted the lasers and lights to look, if the screens had have been lower they would have constantly been washing the screens out.
It looks suspiciously like Muse's 2nd Law stage
can u make it mobile friendly please
No, because of the song that was used, RUclips blocked it from mobile devices, I wish it could play on mobile devices.
what an artist sometimes don't understand, its the artist that is paying for all work. Record company advances the loan.
For a tour the record label is not usually involved. A promoter like Live Nation or AEG will advance money if necessary.
What they have a whole 20 people
For one hit wonder band
I don't know why the M5 will not come in italy!!!
Can anyone tell what's the name of that thread were hanging speakers ?
Hi Lijo John, not entirely sure what “thread” you are talking about here. We use something called wire rope to attach the chains the motors run on into the building grid. Below the wire rope it’s just chain. The chain is way over rated for the amount of weight we hang. In addition there are at least 2 points that are more than capable of bearing the entire load, so in the unlikely event anything was to happen to either load bearing point, the other would hold the load.
None of this was shot in Minneapolis, Sorry.
SMA
Was*
be nice if mobile could view it too sigh
:O

There are only 12 trucks?! Bon Jovi has 100-150!
Logan Sanders as someone with friends that were on Bon Jovi, I can tell you they are only about 15 trucks.
It really depends on the venue, Like for instance when Bon Jovi came to Brisbane he only had like 20 trucks. Taylor swift reputation tour, which was A LOT bigger had around 90 trucks. But we double stack heaps of stuff into our semi's i have heard that in America they don't double stack and that surely would use up a lot more trucks. But not sure if that is true or not.
