hier mal eine "spot on" analyse des problems von einem ami-kollegen.

er bezieht sich dabei auf den vorfall in indianapolis aber die problematik, die er beschreibt gilt überall:

"One problem today in lots of venues it is the lowest bidder who gets the contract. One reason the lowest bidder maybe the lowest bidder is that they take lots of risks that they hope will not come back to bite them in the a$$. Using riggers who are not certified, using substandard or old worn out rigging, loading rigging up to beyond its capacity hoping that nothing will happen and using unsafe practices when it comes to mounting and rigging.

I am not saying this particular tragedy was caused by any of this but the more I see what is happening in the concert sound and lighting world the more I start to question how people are doing business today. What once was a "Safety First" profession where the safety of the performers and crew is the ultimate concern has become a "who can do it cheapest" and if there are some risks let the lawyers fight it out afterward" mindset. If this were an isolated incident things would be different but there have been a rash of these lately and they seem to be getting more serious. Crews are already pushed to the limit with long sleepless nights and having to go from place to place on buses where your real chance of getting a good nights sleep are slim. The crews also are being asked to do more with less people and do things faster and this adds to the stress and with the stress comes mistakes.

Promoters want to have a GREAT experience for the audience but they also want to make money. They push the sound and lighting companies for lower and lower rates and of course the sound and lighting people are also trying to make a buck so they use less employees to do the job and take other shortcuts so there is some profit left in the operation when they are done."
 
Aber das ist doch nichts Neues! Auf dem Prinzip baut die ganze Audiobranche auf, gerade bei Unterhaltungsveranstaltungen darf die Musik nichts kosten. Respekt vor der Arbeit der Musiker und Techniker gibt es fast keinen, besonders in Deutschland.

niemand sagt, dass das problem neu ist.

aber wie der zitierte kollege ganz richtig anmerkt hat das ganze mittlerweile eine bisher nicht dagewesene dimension angenommen, die gefährlich ist.

er bemerkt ja den übergang eines "safety first" gedankens zu einer "wer macht es am billigsten" prämisse und diesbezüglich hat sich in den letzten zehn - fünfzehn jahre eine menge getan.
