Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin get an introduction to the Relentless 7, a new group with Jesse, Jason, Jordan, and Ben Harper, as they joined the Get Out and Vote tour for four shows encouraging people to, you guessed it, get out and vote. Not necessarily for one candidate or the other, just to get out and vote, or as Ben put it “to give you the right to complain.”
In the live sound department, the Sheryl Crow tour basically turned into this tour, so I was mixing on their Clair provided Digidesign Profile, and Sheryls monitor engineer took care of us on a Digidesign Venue. Stacks and racks were “locally” supplied with Eighthday providing a V-dosc rig for the Ohio shows, and Audio Visions providing a Vertec rig for St. Paul and Milwaukee. And while all went well, all I can say is arenas are absolutely horrid rooms to mix a live show in (and waves plug-ins seem to take a really long time to load.)
It seems the plan worked, people voted.
