Memoirs of a Sound Engineer on Tour. Always on the move, always in service of the music. From Copenhagen to Palermo, from Nice to Amsterdam: In the 1980s, sound engineer Jan F.J. Prins travelled across Europe by truck, bus, and plane. Behind the scenes, he worked on concerts by legendary artists such as Johnny Cash, B.B. King, The Dubliners, Fats Domino, The Everly Brothers, Meat Loaf, Roy Orbison, The Jackson 5, and many others. This book takes you into a world the audience never sees: the travelling, the sweat of the setup, the soundcheck, the tension during a show, but also the quiet moments on the road. With candid anecdotes, unexpected encounters, and a sharp eye, Prins paints a picture of life ‘on the road’, full of camaraderie, adventure, and music, but also marked by longing and the flip side of a life that never stands still. PRINS ON THE ROAD is a chronicle of a remarkable era, a tribute to the crew who make everything possible behind the scenes, and a unique look at live music.
