I know we've discussed this story before, about Van Halen's infamous rider, but it's actually pretty cool to hear Dave tell the story in his own words... http://vimeo.com/36615187

I got to see that rider when I studied entertainment law, but even the attorney teaching the class did not say what Dave just did there. Enlightening.
Funny, too!

That's awesome. It was a safety issue. Who knew. I'm always thankfully amazed when I walk into a venue & see a copy of my stage plot & input list sitting on the mixer or on stage. It shows that somebody read the rider & is trying to do the right thing.

LOL! Well, there you go. Very smart, actually. I can't tell you how many times I almost got fried, wiring into the 220 in a club, because the ninnies there forgot to shut it off, or shut off the wrong switch, when I asked them.

The half a million dollar dressing room trashing was priceless.

Especially since most dressing rooms aren't worth a half-million pennies.

what the hell is a dressing room? is that the alley out back? It's the area in the back of the band van in between the boxes of cables and the door!

Funny stuff.
However a lot of what he is saying (about unscrupulous promoters) is true.
