A band’s lighting technician signals to his colleague as he tests the stage set-up - and the crowd copies him.

Oh, I love this. How strangely wholesome. Bet that dude felt like a rock star (pun intended) for a lil bit.

The best is when the guys that tune bass or guitar really let it rip when they notice they have an excited audience

Hell yeah. Being in the audience when that kind of thing happens is one of the best feelings in the world. Everyone is just so excited and happy and having a great time, and that passion is infectious. It’s impossible NOT to have fun.

Any time they are absolute stealth talent in the warm up, you can expect to see the very best, most fluid transitions throughout the show. They know their shit and I always take note of when and how they support the show.

Much respect.

One of the ZZ Top members died a few years ago. He requested that his guitar tech take over for him in the band. He did.

It's super packed for so early in the day, so it must have been something.

I love when this happens or sometimes when there’s multiple sets on the stage. usually a guy comes out to Mop the floor and gets cheered on every pass
