It was a band called Alter Bridge, black stone cherry supporting, I was @ the Glasgow show.
AB’s soundman should’ve been sacked
if anyone wants a listen, they are great live blackstonecherry.com/
Funny you should say that , I was at the LG Arena gig and it was the Black Stone Cherry sound that was very ropey , yet Alter Bridge sounded spot on , in fact AB blew me away
Some people I was with , have seen BSC a few times before and were dissapponted with the set due to the crap sound .
weird, i commented on alter bridges FB page after the show telling them to sack their soundman and how BSC blew them out the water.
afew days later i got in and dated with 10-15 people saying they agree and they had been at 4 or 5 different shows on their uk tour this year. The soundman was taking photos for like half their set at glasgow show.not the man for the job.
an awesome bands show,ruined in my opinion. tickets already bought for BSC in march
p.s myles acoustic set was good though.
One from today. Unloading at the Belfast Odyssey. Liveried as PHG (Production House Group}, though I suspect operated by a local haulier.
Hopefully see the driver later and get some more info, as they’re a new one on me.

I’ve just done a cross Canada tour for the singer Paul Brandt, he uses our firm as we have his name on our trucks
The more observant among you will notice it’s not my regular proper Peterbilt, for the tour only I’m using a brand spanking new Peterbilt 386 with the ‘new’ Paccar MX engine

Nothing to do with me, I’m just a driver
I had nothing to do with any of the load in/out, once I’d positioned the truck I was taken to a (very nice) hotel and picked up after everything was loaded up again
How very cool Mark. Did you enjoy driving a modern truck ? LOL
Just as it should be and always was newmercman! “I drive throught the night and then you want me to manhandle this delicate equipment out?” “Lead me to the hospitality dept!”

thats usually the shower then catering once youve unloaded LOL
you dont know what your missing if you dont get up to your knees in all the crap artists carry around with them lol…i had about 20 bags of cat litter with one band…and loads of black bins.
I found it was refreshments ('cos the hospitality boys were there first), find out where you are in the unloading queue, get tipped, park up, taxi to the hotel! Return refreshed to operate the Supertrooper for £40 in the pocket!
£40? theyre ripping you off mate!!
I dind’t think that was too unfair in 1980! Multiply that up for 30 years kindle530!
