Hope you’d have decent speakers wherever you’re furiously chainsmoking.Do folks on cocaine stop talking long enough to listen to anything?
This is pretty funny... but when you break it down;I’ve heard first-hand from a veteran speaker guy who says he could always tell what the (live show) mixer was on, coke for fried highs, booze for cooked lows, and allegedly pot for “everything”
To clarify, he saw the speakers (and boxes of blown components) when they returned post-tour.This is pretty funny... but when you break it down;
If he could 'tell', how could he verify it?
If he already knew they were on those specific drugs, then the comment is negated.
Maybe he was a bit fried himself?

Trading floors in NYC... I was there.This is bit absurd. I can’t imagine a whole work force on coke . Every sound engineer in the 80’s really ?
“Here’s your mandatory line of coke” take that before tracking or mixing anything
Parse, this was “back in the day” touring sound. So, yea. Nevermind the mixer...This is bit absurd. I can’t imagine a whole work force on coke . Every sound engineer in the 80’s really ?

People forget there was no testing of anything until the late 80's. I worked with people on all sorts of things. I wasn't on anything at work, and wish they hadn't been.
I was given the task of rebuilding a complex bit of machinery and the assistant I was given was pretty much always on pot. I told him beforehand, this is too complex for you to work that way. When you come in tomorrow be straight. He told me if I could tell when he'd been smoking he'd walk off the job. He was okay the first two days. Third day it was obvious within 2 minutes. I told him. He did admit it. I told him I didn't know if he was serious about leaving the job, but I wasn't having him work with me on this one. To go hide or go home. I needed the help, but it wasn't worth the danger.
Then in the mid 90's until about 2010 half the people were on something, but had a prescription for it.

Double blind test?I'm still on the fence about it.
Time to break out the yayo and have a little test.Double blind test?
Dodgy proposition these days....Time to break out the yayo and have a little test.
AFAIK, coke is a stimulant which can keep one working longer than naturally possible.This seems hard to swallow. I thought that people on Stimulants would be more sensitive to high pitch sounds. Not the other way around.
