Tour Profile: Black Eyed Peas + N.E.R.D.
As if it wasn't difficult enough to mix the Black Eyed Peas — a quartet of rapper/vocalists and a four-piece band who are living up to the reputation that a Grammy-nominated song (“Where Is the Love”) demands — front-of-house engineer David Haines gets to his console and reports, “I just heard Robin Williams is here. That makes me want to mix the show even better.

Sting
Sting is playing to sell-out crowds on his theater tour supporting his new CD, Sacred Love. Mix caught up with him at the Ohio Theater in Columbus, and spoke with front-of-house engineer Jim Ebdon about this tour's gear.

Perhaps better known in the industry as “Tommy Rat” or “Tommy Magnum,”

Jammin' on the High Seas
In January, passengers aboard the Imperial Majesty Regal Empress cruise ship left port in Ft. Lauderdale and headed toward Nassau, The Bahamas and Key West.
Apr 1, 2004
All Access: Evanescence
Evanescence is one of the hottest new bands to come out in a long time, especially with Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance.

Tour Profile: Sarah Brightman
Few artists can claim the international success of Sarah Brightman — and fewer still have achieved it as she has — in three major genres of music.
Apr 1, 2004
Hilary Duff
When Mix first spoke with Tom Fletcher, front-of-house engineer for young pop sensation Hilary Duff, he was just out with her for warmup dates.
Mar 1, 2004

All Access
Mary Chapin Carpenter introduced the concept of a “guitar pull,” a song-sharing tradition in acoustic country and folk circles, to an appreciative...

Tour Profile: David Bowie
b>From the moment David Bowie's band entered the stage, walking along a high catwalk and silhouetted against a dramatic, projected backdrop of the Milky Way (Bowie appearing suddenly below them, wrapped and abstracted by white beams of light), it's evident that his Reality tour is a rock show of grand proportion.
Mar 1, 2004
Tom Jones
Tom Jones will never go out of fashion, so Mix caught up with his guitarist/musical director Brian Monroney and the sound engineers when he hit San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium.

Tour Profile: Seal
Save for a red light emanating from his wireless mic and the white glow of a Macintosh's Apple logo, Seal and band seemed nearly invisible as they stepped onto the dark stage at the sold-out Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
Feb 1, 2004
Interpol
New York City-based Interpol will remind most post-punk junkies of Joy Division or The Chameleons.
Jan 1, 2004
All Access: Godsmack
Mix caught up with Godsmack at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium when they came through Northern California last fall. The crowd greeted the band with tremendous enthusiasm, and Godsmack responded by turning in a boisterous set of hard-hitting, in-your-face music. The band has been on the road playing theaters, arenas, sheds and festivals - ironically, including the European leg of Summer Sanitarium.
