QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Production Manager, Rob Highcroft; Stage Manager, Jack Dunnett; LD Emmanuelle ‘Gigi’ Pedron; Production Assistant, Vanessa Correa, and her famous pink Peli case. stated with a smile; “that’s all part of the fun.” He continued: “QOTSA are the furthest thing from a digital amp band. They like to have control of their volume and have the ability to tweak their tone without having to put their head into a rack unit. There are certainly flaws in some of this older gear but that’s all part of the charm and very much in keeping with the guys’ style. It’s the imperfections that add the flavour!” IN THE FADE(RS) Tending the Eight Day Sound PA was FOH Engineer Stuart Bennett. The PA consisted of a complete d&b audiotechnik system with 18 J-8 and 2 J-12’s per side, and 6 J-SUBs flown per side. Also included were 2 stacks of 3 B22 ground subs and 16 J-8’s per side for side hangs. For those fighting for their place at the barricade, there was a centre cluster of 8 V8’s and lip fills of 8 Y10’s. Across the board, d&b D80 amplifiers were used to power the system. Out front, Bennett utilised a Solid State Logic L500 Plus console alongside Waves Soundgrid and a Waves MGO MADI optical to Soundgrid interface for input and outputs. To replicate several of the effects from the album, the FOH Engineer used the Eventide H9 effects processor. Aiding Bennett each day was the Eighth Day crew, consisting of Andrew Gilchrest on FOH Audio Tech duty, and PA techs Daniel Buckley and Ben Sliwinski.
