TOUR REHEARSALS

by ashadmin 18. June 2009 14:59

Get up early again and work out.  Meet Phil and go for a stroll and a Starbucks.  Rehearsing today with the new sound and stage set up.  There's a new lighting rig on this tour, much bigger and more moving lights so it'll be something new to learn and work with.  The rehearsal place is an old industrial building as it's the only place local that's large enough to accommodate the full stage and light set up.  Problem is that there's no air conditioning so everyone is sweating like a hooker in church on Sunday.   We get there early afternoon and the crew are still setting up and checking equipment etc.  I never realized that Nashville could be so humid, I mean it was like being back in South Texas, well over a hundred inside alone.  Kudos to everyone though, nobody whined or made a fuss and everyone just got right on with it all.  The guys started running through the set and sounded slick.  They really didn't need to be going through it to be honest but they had to run through to ensure that the new lighting and video set up was in synch with the music etc.  There was no actual stage per se, just the stage edges and runway taped out on the floor so everything was shot pretty much from eye level.  Got some great candids and close ups of everyone, just walking right up to them.  Joe and Viv had very active middle fingers for some reason......."One more song" I think is what they were trying to tell me..

Ronan and his huge rack. Spooky Lights Stick Rick, Laying it thick Head Case Joe and Viv tell Ash that they love him.
