"B" weighting?  I haven't seen that in many years.

A-Weighting rolls off low frequencies quite a bit.  Meeting a B-Weighting standard actually makes it easier to meet that number.  Lucky you!

I think it's more likely to lead to more problems.  When people up the workload with silly requests it distract from the real and immediate issues

Things on the rider can ALWAYS be crossed out and negotiated.

Realistically if someone is booking van halen, they can pay someone $30 to sort a couple bags of M+Ms if they decide not to negotiate that bit out of the agreement

Another swerve.  Anyone ever drop something on the floor and when you straighten up hit your head on the table supporting the mixer (or directly on the mixer itself) that had a built in spring reverb?

Yup. First mixer was a Yammi EM-70. 6 channel, all knobs, spring reverb.
In my case, it was someone dropping something on the table, beside the mixer.
Hint... Don't tap the mixer in time with the music.....

A reggae band from this summer had these gems:

Pink Floyd uses green to good effect.

117db?  No problem.

I've worked with a couple of BEs who sang back up.

OK, so what is a "BE"?

Gilbert, AZ?  They don't teach this at C.R.A.S.?  /sarc

Band Engineer.  The guy with the bus bunk hair that stands behind the FOH console.  Compare/contrast with BME, Band Monitor Engineer.

Did the chainsaw have an instrument level output?

It was a long time ago, but I seem to recall a Barcus Berry.

In the spirit of George Gobel's guitar, was it electric or gas?

[Cough, cough, hack, eccchh[, it was gas [cough], 2-stroke, in a small [hack] club. [Hack, ecccchhh, cough].

That's not all that odd.  BTW I can't drink Aquafina or Denali filtered waters either.   Spring water only, preferably fiji.

Picky eater/drinker another word for pain in the ass.
