So they should have sung "Beep on the Run?" 

It started a lot like This Is Spinal Tap. A bit interesting though. (I'm probably a bit jaded)
 
To be clear, they only took their stage gear, the sound and lighting desks and their backdrops on the plane. They had sound re-enforcement, stage and lighting contracted at each location and flew in the big stuff when needed. It would have been a real trick to get the equipment from 8 or 10 tractor trailers in the back of that plane.
 
Even with the sound and lighting companies using semi's, they pack them as tight as possible as wasted space is wasted fuel. The fewer trucks, the better.
 
Chain hoists... (shudders)

This is prolly why they used a 747 on the last tour - better value for money and a bigger cargo hold !

I've got the dvd they filmed and tbh its not too bad.

Just saying !

I thought it was a bit of a joke at first, but Bruce really IS a pilot and looks right at home in that uniform.
 
I also watched the (also interesting) KISS documentary that was listed on the right and Paul Stanley was a cab driver.  Go figure!

Anyone who's ever had to pack up a band's gear into a van can appreciate that you don't just throw it all in willy-nilly. It takes some planning, and maybe a little experience playing Tetris.
 
(Once while touring in Germany, I had a dream that our van was spinning around. It got me thinking about what would happen in a crash, and I realized we'd likely be killed by our own equipment. So next morning, to my bandmates' chagrin, I had the van unloaded and re-loaded in such a way as to be safer in an accident. Incredibly, the very next night, we hit a patch of ice on the autobahn, spun out, flipped over a guardrail and slid 50 feet on our side. The side doors flew open but nobody was crushed under a Marshal nor impaled by flying mic stands.)
 

To me,  that is the interesting part of the post.  How do you interpret those two events?  Chance?  Odd coincidence?  The Hand of God?  Jungian Synchronicity?  Other answer?
 
Just curiosity on my part.  Don't feel compelled to answer if it seems too invasive on my part.
 

We've all experienced prescience in some manner. It's not metaphysical, but it's meta-something. I suspect it occurs when an event happens that relates back to something we'd previously been thinking about, perhaps unconsciously.
 
I'm not overly concerned that my recurring dream of alien invasion might come true.

I was born in San Diego.  The invasion has already happened.

That's funny!  You gotta start writing for TV.

This is the best thread the coffee house has seen in my tenure.  Thank you op!
