    Just proves that without CREW and TECHS the show DOES NOT GO ON! Cheers to the Riggers and Roadies , Techs and Local Stagehands...these folks ARE the reason gigs LOOK & SOUND so awesome!!

    After being in the biz for over 35 years the kids in this video have it great to see what was my world. I really miss the long hours and I hope that they all can see and want to get into it if they want it.

    I've been a Stagehand for about 30 years to see these students to see what it takes to be able to setup a show they will have a appreciation of what we do without the Roadies,Riggers,and Stagehands there would not no show

    Given the state of the music industry today, this is a great step to get the youngsters 'feet wet' into one side of the biz. Good video, Great idea!

    I worked for Bon Jovi once in Stuttgart. We made the very very big open air production. I think 100.000 people. Was a great production.

    I’m a musician and played on the take-out of the cruise ship QUANTUM OF THE SEAS on RCCL. One of our venues cost 23 millions dollars alone to build-and had 5 of those robotic, moving video screens in it. They are very cool.

    I was wondering why so many people had actual cameras. Then saw clip was 12 years old. Thanks for sharing, and shedding a light on the amazing and brutal and physical heroes of the rock world... Roadies! At this level, the crew doesn't party with the band, or hook up with groupies. Odds are when the band hits the stage... They are in bed. They gotta undo all this tonight, and set it up again tomorrow in a city about 3 hours away

    He may not be making money on album sales anymore, but he's still raking it in. According to Google, Jon Bon Jovi is worth 410 million dollars. By way of comparison, Tico Torres, he is Jons drummer and has been in his band since day 1 as far as I know, Google has him with a net worth of 20 million dollars. C'mon Jon, give Tico a raise!

    My uncle worked as a roadie for the US and European legs of the Slippery tour. He jumped shipped and worked for Def Leppard on the Hysteria tour for the entire 16 months.. He was gone for about 4 years. We wasn't even home for Christmas. He didn't even own a house. Not a glamorous life at all.

      I was chief sound engineer for 5 years for a
      local san diego entertainment company.
      I used to love stopping my interns half way
      into humping all the gear and setting up
      and working our asses off.
      I would then say:
      .
      LISTEN --- Do you feel it - ?
      They'd be like --- "WHAT - ?"
      DO YOU FEEL IT - ?
      Feel WHAT - ?
      THE GLITZ.
      AND GLAMOUR.
      THAT IS
      SHOW BIZ.
      .
      That's about when someone usually said
      SHUT UP.
      Then LAUGHTER ALL AROUND..
      .
      AND THAT'S when they understood.
      .
      . == GOD I LOVE SHOW BIZ ==

      Same story I heard from a platinum pro metal musician playing the big stages in several top bands, being away from home and family for long peroids is difficult, the 'rockstar' buzz wear off after years of touring... Guys right at the top can do it in comfort and a more relaxed schedule.

    I was expecting that the McGill group had a chance to meet the whole band.... why not. I guess we have to go at the Souls kitchen and hope Jon will be there. Great video, it was fun to see the stage setup before a show. And by the way, I was at the show in 2011. A JBJ fan forever.
