    If I worked for PJ/10C, I would make sure to ship the right shirts people payed for. Seems they have a problem doing that.

    Being a touring roadie is a lot like War. There are long passes of extreme boredom followed by short passes of extreme stress. When you are setting up the sound stage and there's a break in the signal flow, you better hope that it doesn't trace to you or else you can count on being reprimanded if you're on the bottom of the totem pole. You're pretty much on the clock all day long except for meal breaks.

    Don't expect to see your family much until post tour.

    But the pay is good (for mega touring bands) because it is constantly accumulating into your bank account while you have no time to spend the money, and most meals are paid for in the touring budget.

    Didn't mean to come off as that....If anything I was saying how it is a good paying job with great qualities. Sorry If I came across Negative

    Hey 10C/PJ - if you ever need a tour nurse/photographer/etc or just a person who speaks finnish - let me know :D I'll be there.

    :) and I'm not even kidding.
    Won't let the light escape from me.
    Won't let the darkness swallow me.

    from what I've heard, getting on PJs crew is the best situation possible for a roadie. They're treated incredibly well by the band. Why else would they have pretty much the same crew for nearly 20 years? Nobody's quitting once they get hired by Pearl Jam
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    I'd never be able to do it. I can never get any sleep on those bus seats that don't recline all the way.
