I’m fortunate to have engineered live sound for the following outstanding performers. In retrospect, I’m glad that I did most of my live sound work in the 1990s when systems were mostly analog. Although it meant much more moving and connecting gear, I had an understanding of how and why sound is processed the way it is, which might not be so apparent on modern digital systems. And I got to work with many amazing musicians who are no longer with us.
