We set up in the dressing room under the stage and were able to drop the cables through a hole in the floor. We used the Sadie LRX. It was a pretty big lineup - 40 channels in all. Drums, bass, guitar, 2 keyboard players, trumpet, trombone, saxaphone, 4 backing singers.
Here's some pics of the sound check.
I went for the 2 performances which was lucky because the first night he was in a bit of a bad mood. But night 2 was great. I was able to go and watch bits of the show from side stage. And on the second night, because I already had the levels set from the first night I was able to nick out the front for a bit to watch the show. The only problems i had was a badly distorted vocoder on the first night because I didn't get a level check of it, but Al hated it so much he banned it from the show. Then on the second night I had a bit of a scare when the show started and it appeared like we didn't have Al's mic coming through. When I investigated I found out that his radio mic had had it's output level switched lower and no one had told me so the level coming into my recorder was way too low.
Here's the channel list with mic choice and inserts.
