He always seems to have quite the amount of ppl behind the booth with him. When he was at Circa and again on last years boat cruise, the area behind him was packed.
Another guy who probably needs just as much was Dennis Ferrier. At Maison he was pumping down shot after shot to all the people around him all night. Spreading the fun so to speak. |

lol
Yeah fair enough, I get its probably not all for him. But, I guess its the entitlement thing that baffles me. These guys have this incredible job where they get paid big bucks to show up and play music, not sure why their entourage needs to be supplied with copious amounts of booze as well. Just seems excessive. At least he's not asking for socks and underwear like Aoki. :haha:
I'm sure not all riders are like this (see the Marek Hemmann rider). |

| I'm inclined to agree. When the hospitality portion dwarfs the technical specifications section, you gotta wonder. |

Im actually pretty surprised that no one has any requirements for an opening DJ. Ive gone to some shows with big names in Guelph, with some promoter sucking opening DJ with less than a year experience opening.
I know that if I ever were to get to a point where I could have a rider, my requirement would be to hear who the promoter selected as the opening DJ, and have the right to object. |

The Roger Sanchez rider has that stipulation. I think a lot of the more credible artists only work with promoters who they know and trust, so they leave the opening dj selection in capable hands.
LOL at the soulwax rider. 35 pages and pretty much all technical requirements. |

Part of Lawlers Rider:
� One (1) x bottle of Vodka - Grey Goose (chilled + on ice)
� One (1) x bottle of Champagne � Dom Perignon (chilled + on ice)
� One (1) x bottle of Tequila � Patron Gold (chilled + on ice)
� One (1) x bottle/carton of Cranberry Juice
� One (1) x bottle/carton of Orange Juice
� Six (6) x bottles/cans of Coca Cola
� One (1) x Case = 24 x bottles of imported Beer (chilled)
� Six (6) x bottles of Sparkling Mineral Water (non-chilled)
� One (1) x Case = 24 x bottles Still Water (non-chilled)
� Six (6) x Champagne Glasses
� Six (6) x Glasses � tumblers
� Six (6) x Shot Glasses
� One (1) x Ice Bucket
come on, you're working bro, do you really need 3 bottles of hard booze/champagne + a case of beer and 36 bottles of water? You can't possibly consume that. So ridiculous. |
this is pretty standard from what i've seen. it's been mentioned already, this stuff is mainly for the entourage anyways. also the cost of this stuff to the bar is pretty minimal, so unless the bar owner is forcing you to pay his bottle svc prices to cover the rider stuff it doesn't amount to much. most of the time the bar owner just supplies it free of charge from my experience. asking for cristal and super high-end stuff like that is ridiculous |
