If you haven't got this book yet this is what Chris Leckie -who has mixed front of house for Kaiser Chiefs, Dio , Texas and more- thinks about the book
"This book is a fascinating insight into the history of our industry and a fitting tribute to those pioneers who, when there was no instruction manual to consult, had to make it up as they went along Using that most reliable method of trial and error, in tandem with a great deal of technical knowledge, these guys (literally) did the heavy lifting for us in the early days ( have you TRIED to pick up a rack of BGWs?) so that we might achieve the quality of concert sound we all strive for today "
