It's and interesting read especially the stuff relating to audio requirements (* the mix is bass heavy) and back line requirements. http://www.tedkurland.com/materials/riders/CLARKE&COPELANDRIDER.pdf lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5156 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Sunday, May 20, 2012 - 7:46 pm:    I noticed that the required stage dimensions read "thirty [30"] feet in width by twenty [20"] feet in length...."

And there was probably a couple of thousand people in the venue.

Thought maybe they were there as a did-you-read-it check a la Van Halen's notorious remove-the-brown-ones M&Ms clause; if the Purchaser doesn't ask for clarification, you watch like a hawk/straighten them out. Or maybe they're just not teaching as well the last generation or 2....... [edited to fix the misspell in my post that questions our children's/grandchildren's education.....] [Twice.

But if you look on page #9 under DINNER H. you will see that it's nothing of the sort. Under desert, the contract reads/stipulates: Desert: cookies, cakes, pies, WERE FLEXIBLE. Haha!
