The Art of Concert Setup: An Educational Journey for Musicians, Techs, Stagehands, and Concert-goers

This is a look behind the curtain at some of the hidden processes and behind-the-scenes magic that make concerts come to life. The moving parts that go into a blend of lights, sound, and visuals that give concert-goers the live concert experience. Set up, soundcheck, load out. Interfacing provided equipment with tour equipment equipment. "How to" information and tips provided along the way.

Whether you're an aspiring musician, an audiovisual enthusiast, or simply curious about the grand spectacle of live concerts, this video offers a unique educational opportunity and perspective. Gain insights into the careful planning, coordination, and artistic choices that transform an empty space into a full blown live show. And techniques that can be used not just on large shows, but even small shows. Small shows can benefit from deploying many of these same tips and suggestions that are used on larger shows.

From the work of the local crew to the touring crew, venue staff, to the talent themselves, a show day is much more than the couple of hours the artist is on stage.

Many tours are a mix of touring production and local production, as the one shown here. And everything has to work in the end to give the crowd an exciting and entertaining audio mix and concert experience.
