It is super intriguing to see that Green Day has developed and stuck with the same sound engineer throughout their entire journey. I wonder what that is like as an engineer to be able to witness the evolution of a band and their journey on tour throughout the years. It is also super interesting to see that as the band developed and grew, that their equipment also changed, which is to be expected, but it just surprised me that there were specific needs within their sound rigs that had to be met to perform a specific type of show. I wonder how the sound rig travels and what life on tour is like as an engineer. I have always kind of wanted to experience life on tour but it also seems so intimidating to have to move, set up, and break down a set every other day and the responsibilities that come with that seem very intense.
