Had two funny things happen lately, for the same date. Thought I'd pass it along.
A rider for a touring show specing a system providing "115dbA weighted at the mix". For music 115dbA is severe when playing full range music. This was a show geared toward a youngish, teen aged crowd.
On the date, I had one of the "opening" acts request that I make the FOH, and I quote, "as loud as possible". Yes, I laughed out loud.
