Seen you R&R chaps refer to this a few times…but what is a “back line”■■
Back line is the band gear, drums, guitars and keyboards in a nutshell. If the back line is in a trailer, then its probably got the risers, bit of set and back stage dressing room cases. On a one truck production tour the back line is on the dance floor at the front or piled on top of the speaker wall. The best back line comes in card board boxes, don’t it Matt
dance floor? were all megas dont you know!!!
Megas Mat, I remember the days when Trans Am have old step frames and thy were lucky if the tour got a full set of ramps. When I get back to the UK I have a photo album with some snaps, I will scan them, the times when Mickie Bird was there and all trucks were flat tops. Not to mention and its a few years back we lost a trailer load on Metallica when the driver crashed while being fettled.
Thy don’t know your born Mat with yer flash new trucks
dont worry mate, we still have some of them ropey old bangers (and i dont mean the drivers ), i started with one on my first tour, i look forward to the pics!!! i have a lot of the older nails they used to run, birdie is still there!
one of the photos is off him stuck in some mud, after him telling the second truck driver how you have to be careful and choose the best route…bless
I have heard a few of his stories and if on the bus when us lampies got up and he had been partaking beverage with the bus driver, he would launch the keys at me and tell me to stick it on the loading bay myself
I reckon it was him that got out the truck door at Leas Cliff forgetting it was parked on the service road and had a tumble down part of the cliff. He also may have been the one of the guys who went down the service road, then had to go back up to get the ramp from under the trailer and start the reverse again. Happy days

Was the Metallica trailer, the one that was wrecked on the east bound M62 near Bradford about 25 years ago, a right mess IIRC
