On the stageToo shy to ever appear on stage myself, I still hung around theatres like a bad smell when I was younger - lighting and set design were what I was good at.
Backstage we'd attempt to sabotage every production - us lighting geeks would wind up the sound man by putting the remote "pause" button for his reel-to-reel tape machine on his chair, so when he sat down it'd start running, ruining his cues. Actors would do scenes out of order to make our lives hell. It was great and I don't know why I don't still do it.
Tell us your stories of life on the stage.

Oh.. another quick one...Local band were playing thier first gig, using my mates sound gear.. they had thier "own engineer" so we just supplied the PA and desk...
I had never actually heard any of thier songs (they only played thier own original stuff) so to me it was just the usual naff "indie rock oasis wannabee" crap...
halfway through the gig, the guitar tech happened to notice that he had been tuning the guitars with a faulty tuner...
funny thing was, nobody noticed :-)
