Superstar Techs!
It's five minutes to show time, the crowd is pumped to see their favorite
band, there is electricity in the air! A few nameless guys (always dressed
in black) with flashlights, zip around the stage like ants making last
minute adjustments, talking into the mic "Check 1, Check 1,2 Check!" Then it
Happens, you see the guy in black with your favorite guitar players axe in
his hand and... KABANG! That flaming open "A" chord! The crowd cheers as
they get their first taste of that flamethrower in the hands of that faceless,
nameless guy. That is usually the extent of the credit that these guys get.
Well, I am here to tell you that these guys deserve more credit! So I am
going to start this page as a tip of my hat to my brothers behind the
scenes. Check back often as I will keep adding to this page and it is a work
in progress.
