Damn embarrassing to have to drive back home and miss the
first hour.

On remote gigs, checklists are your friends.

v 1.


+2.... I did the same thing last week - forgot a patch cord to attach
the backup recorder. The Radio Shack next door to the performance site


+3, and...

"Negative" checks are also useful. I have a comprehensive system to make what needs
to go out the door goes out the door, but then as a last-minute check I'll look at
the main storage areas one last time. Is anything left in stores that should NOT be
there, but rather be part of the kit?

This helps when the kit varies from 2 to 24 trecks, with or without some sort of
interfacing with a PA company, cable plant required for the venue, etc.

My method, if I know what I am going to be recording (lots of repeat
work) is to do a complete setup in the spare room, then break it down
and put it in the van. Then I add my standard box of "spares of
everything".
