All the festivals I work, LINE CHECKS ARE MANDATORY!!!!!!!!
Every act is taped to DAT for archive purposes and all channels must be
there from the start ( no humms, buzzes or miss patches) and yes mics and
cables do go bad in the middle of a long day.

I wonder what these "Archive purposes" are? You get this a lot in
theatres. You question a video camera. "Just for the archives!"
they gaily say.

So, what are they going to do with it? "Oh - nothing at all! Just
for the archives!" Fine. If it's going to be of no use to you,
don't make it. If it is going to have a use, tell me what for and
we'll negotiate a price for extending a live gig into a recording
session.
