A typical day on the road behind the scenes with Twin Lizzy. Tour bus (Tranny van) arrives at the hotel (our house). Equipment truck (same van) is loaded with gear and the band travel in the Limousine (same van). The pre-planned detailed route is carefully arranged and scribbled onto a ripped up fag packet. En route, important details are discussed such as: Venue capacity, Stage size, and location of the nearest chippy. It is vitally important to take at least two wrong turnings and ask locals for directions in an effort to totally baffle the driver. The fag packet is then thrown out the window. After several miles and a few bouts of "we should have gone left" etc. we arrive at the gig. The equipment is loaded into the venue and arranged in a totally random fashion making setting up impossible. Five minutes later, the equipment is moved from this location into the correct room and again strewn about haphazardly in a marine assault course. Sound engineers (the band) then plug wires into holes, twiddle some knobs and say "one two testing one two" down the mikes for a bit before going to the bar to await the assembly of the drum kit. The lighting rig is then erected, tested and carefully adjusted to cause the band to be totally blinded during the show. A selected batch of extra wires are then laid across the stage in an attempt to ensure a near fatal accident during a guitar solo. The P.A system is then finely tuned to produce ear splitting feedback as soon as anyone moves, the pyrotechnics (fireworks) are arranged so as to ignite and completely torch anything within a 3 metre radius and finally the last step is to strategically stick a few bits of gaffer tape here and there to make it look good.
