I have been very fortunate to be able to hang out with the band and tour around some and I knew after the first trip to England what these people actually do to enable the shows to go smoothly. 

 Besides the actual logistics of setting up a tour , booking the shows, transportation, hotels etc etc which is handled by manager Derek Sutton ( see link for a great interview) and in the UK and Europe by Alan Robinson there is the PHYSICAL part of actually moving the shows from venue to venue. 

 My first experience with the crew was in 2005  and then again on the raod in 2006 in the UK and you can read about how great these guys are as people, how skilled they are at their respective responsibilities, and how hard they work to allow us to see these guys play.

 I cannot thank them all enough for making me feel a part of the group.
