AL and David Rabe sit down with Jeff Hyman in a podcast that fate put together. Jeff is used to working around celebrities and getting them everything they need for festivals, gigs and events. Having previously worked with Kevin Smith on his Jay and Silent Bob Get Old tours (amongst others) as well as amazing events such as Live 8 we get some really interesting insights into what goes on backstage.
After many years of experience Jeff is part of Degy Entertainment now and he works at festivals like Firefly and events across America. We get to hear what its like working with stars with super inflated egos. Including the dreaded "rider" and what is acceptable for a star to ask for. We put Jeff to the test by reading out the recent rider that went viral for Grace Jones to see what he thought of it.
Straight out the gates Jeff launches into his accounts of working on the iconic Live 8 fundraiser, which still today is one of the biggest events in history. This story involves a brief discussion about a topless Fergie from The Black Eyed Peas.
