Raphaele, vous etes bien proche, je trouve que les autres ils sont en tren de manquer quelqu'un, comme Hoppy et Bash avec plus de dix ans avec eux; je peux vous qu'un indice est "le moyen âge".

I don't know what you're taking man, but it sounds amazing

Anyway, I don't know if that is Woodsy.

^THAT'S THE ONE!!!! That's the roadie I was talking about in my review, the one that got clapped and Woo-ed in Paris :laugh3:

 

I still don't know what his name is, but he is working on the Robbie Williams tour this year and getting cheered by fans as well (I guess it's what his job entails :D). I went to the concert in Hannover yesterday and was so surprised and happy to see him and all of a sudden be reminded of the Coldplay concert there last year. Is it weird to be happy about things like that? (Say no.)

Guy's bass tech has a sort of mohawk-ish hairstyle (or at least he did at one time.) I can't remember his name as he only joined the crew during the later part of the Viva tour. Other than that, it doesn't sound like any of the core backline guys, so it's probably just a lighting tech or something.

 

He was a laser guy on that tour and yes I do know who he is!!!!!!!!

Here's a nice article

In the Spotlight: Nicole Erin Massey travels the world with big-name musical acts

56e1d59599ed9.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C993

Nicole Erin Massey is in love with being on tour.

 

Massey, who first appeared in “The King and I” on the Fulton at age 7, knew she was hooked after she danced in Bette Midler’s 1999 tour.

 

“I wanted to do any job after that to keep me on the road,” says Massey, 39

Massey works as the production coordinator for Coldplay. She manages the crews’ schedules, makes the team’s travel reservations and keeps everything running smoothly.

 

Before joining Coldplay’s team in 2012, Massey toured with the Backstreet Boys, the Cranberries, the Dixie Chicks, Enrique Iglesias, Madonna, Rod Stewart, Brian Setzer, Lionel Richie and Michael Buble, among others.

 

Massey and her crew work up to 20 hours a day on tour, sometimes five days a week. She says there haven’t been too many odd tour requests, other than the Backstreet Boys needing a washer and dryer for their stage costumes and the Dixie Chicks bringing along a pilates reformer and instructor.

 

Since adopting this lifestyle, Massey has mastered the art of packing light. She’s willfully wandered around cities all over the world and indulged in various local cuisines, including cow skin. (She wasn’t a fan.)

 

She met her now-husband Dick (who played the drummer in the movie “The Commitments”) while on tour with Rod Stewart. They lived together in Ireland for six years before relocating to Lancaster last May.

 

“Moving back to the city, it felt so nice,” Massey says. “It felt right.”

 

Hometown: Lancaster.

 

Education: Proud J.P. McCaskey Tornado.

 

My family consists of: husband Dick, mother Linda, father Tom, sisters Shannon (husband David), Danielle (husband Sean), and Maddie. Between Dick and I, we have 17 nieces and nephews.

 

Growing up, I wanted to be: Anything they told me I couldn’t be!

 

My first job was: I worked the concession stand at Hershey Heritage Village pool in the summers. I was also doing theater from the age of 7, but I never thought of that as a job.

 

What I love about being a production coordinator: My crew! We have upwards of 150 people and are a very big family.

 

The most challenging part of being a production coordinator: My crew! We basically live and work together for months at a time. We have a lot of different personalities and it’s my job to keep everyone happy!

 

Most memorable tour moment: There’s a tie … Dancing with Bette Midler at the stroke of midnight on the Millennium New Year’s Eve or hearing the band you work for (Coldplay) dedicating your wedding song (“Til Kingdom Come”) to you at Royal Albert Hall in London!!

 

A book I’d recommend: “Here, There, and Everywhere” by Geoff Emerick, famed music engineer about his time with the Beatles.

 

A movie I’d recommend: An oldie, but a goodie — “Dead Poets Society.”

 

A TV show I’d recommend: It’s an English TV program called “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.”

 

A song I have on repeat: “On a Day Like This” by Elbow.

 

Favorite way to spend a day: With friends and family eating great food and drinking sake!

 

Something you’ll always find in my refrigerator: Chili peppers.

 

What I miss most about Lancaster: My bed!

 

 

My idea of exercise: Flywheel (spin class) or Bootcamp.

 

My guilty pleasure: Soft pretzels with nacho cheese.

 

One thing I’d change about myself: I either want gray hair or not. This in-between stage is annoying!

 

The best gift I’ve ever received: Meeting my wonderful husband.

 

A person I really admire: My Aunt Kathy … she’s worked hard all her life and she’s always giving to her family, her community, and now her grandson!

 

Favorite vacation spot: Thailand or Portugal.

 

My parents always told me …: If you work hard, you can do anything you want! They never tried to stifle my dreams/creativity.

 

The person I’d most like to have dinner with: George Harrison.

 

Hobbies: Cooking, Manchester United and flea markets.

 

Pets: I would love to have a dog someday, but it isn’t possible being on the road eight to nine months out of the year.

 

If someone wrote a book about my life I would like the title to be: “Man, that girl had fun!”

 

Three words that best describe me: Outgoing, organized and sometimes a bit outrageous!
