"Is the show gonna be good?"
That's about all I care about. I don't really give 2 spits if lighting and sound professionals complain about the quality of the equipment not being as good. As long as the shows are good, that's about all I care about.
Good for you, but the level of equipment directly impacts the quality and reliability of a show. Just because you find it irrelevant doesn’t make it insignificant.
And who cares if you can see a lighting rig if the show turns out to be good/great?
No one, outside of a handful of forum posters.
I go back to my original point. Just because you don’t understand the hard work that goes into show infrastructure doesn’t mean that work is unimportant or irrelevant.
Also, I don’t appreciate you relegating an entire industry to a “handful of forum posters.” That’s not correct either.
