In this readable, practical guide for musicians, band managers, technical crew members, and others in the music industry, tour manager and audio engineer Reynolds (Buckinghamshire New University) offers advice on details, such as parking and water for the band onstage, as well as major logistical and financial issues such the booking process, contracts and riders, offline and online marketing, and equipment. He also describes the roles of professionals in the concert industry, from agents and promoters to venue staff, house and touring crew, and caterers. At the heart of the book are two detailed show diaries, from early morning arrival through the final load out, portraying what really happens behind the scenes. A final chapter gives details on emerging markets and new trends such as artist-controlled ticketing. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
