They are Stage Tech, an much more. o e Orlando-based company. Sim ply put. they are a rock and roll construction crew. Their job is to erect a system of lights, speakers and PA., and tend to any other special requests made by the band. The average concert set takes eight hours to complete. Seems like a long time, unless you consider that takes ten 18-wheelers to hold the bulk of the equipment. Then. eight hours sounds minimal. At 7 a.m .. one would think coffee would be the favorite beverage for a thirsty roadie. Not so. Instead, Hawaiian Punch is slurped through straws by the ma- jority of the crew. Within 15 minutes a four-foot tall garbage can is half full of the tiny juice cartons. Another typical roadie food, do nuts, are consumed so fast that fin gers don't get sticky. Typically, the Stage Tech roadies do not show up for work hung over. With the amount of equipment they have to move, it would be impossible. They have to be on their toes. The trunks they unload stand as tall as 15 feet and weigh enough to break bones if accidently tipped over on someone. · But roadies have good-reason to be wide awake during work hours: the start ing salary for a stage hand is $7 an hour. Stage Tech charges their customers by tne hour. The average show runs approxi mately $5,000, but the outdoor shows generate the big money. For instance, when The Who played Tampa Stadium last July, it took four days to erect the stage and the lights. The bill for the labor alone was $105,000. The upcom ing Rolling Stones concert at Tampa Sta dium could run an even higher expense. see ROADIES page 4 '·. · .. • • ,,. .... • ;,.,. ·•"- • , ...... ~ • • ,.' t l'll" • t ti· '-.\ 2 Confetti, October 12, 1989 \ ..
