Day in the Life of a Touring Musician

This looks exhauating

Nice to see Polish names. Best from PL :)

Great video!

The absolute most work and underpaid job on entire planet!!!. This job only satisfies the heart ❤️ NOT the check book!!!!!☝️🤣…. TRUST me!!!!

Saw you guys for the very first time at the Gramercy on May 14th. I came for Jakub and Plini (and Adam) frankly, but you guys turned me. I’m forever a huge fan now. And the audience was so damned good. Everyone was there for the right reason, and it was so awesome to be a part of a fanbase like that.

You reminded me of why I quit 😂…. It’s not so much all of the crap but the fact that all you get to play is 45 min.
When I began as a bar band we played 4 hours a night and it was so much more fun !!

It’s a tough life for $150/night and no health insurance.

I was on tour with my band from 1994-1997 and we had one solid rule-NO TACO BELL!!!! When you get a Code Brown we can't pull over

Yep! Been there done that back in the early 80s. To think of the dives where we slept and ate. Can't imagine that life at my age now. It was fun then though. Ahhhhh to be young again

Gone a long way since Silver creek days! Making us proud!

Brilliant vlog dude, 10/10. Subbed for more!

Where’s the drugs and chicks and booze ? Rock is all about living on the wild side

Dang, you guys were here in Minneapolis and I was totally clueless. I think I was travelling though. Grumble. Cool video.

I know exactly how it is! I play in a touring band as well called Agent Orange. This is perfect! Thanks 👍

This was all very nice and obviously the edited version. Now give us the real deal. The Jack Daniels, the coke, the hot chicks, wrecking the tour bus. Look forward to it !!🙋‍♂️😀🇬🇧

I hate that bull crap praying gesture to say thanks.

I was at the Minneapolis show. You guys rocked the joint. This was really cool to see. Thanks for posting!🤘

I guess being told you’re way better live is better than being told you’re way better on the record.

On top of what is a fantastic insight into touring, you sound absolutely fantastic, during the sound check in Chicago, Ooft!

Amazing video. ❤❤❤to love music is a beautiful thing. I think this is the way to a succesful career if you want it. If you are not willing to do it like this, all in, then you have no business doing anything in life❤❤❤

That was so cool — THANK YOU! I've always wondered just what life would be like as a touring musician. And now I know. I'm also guessing that y'all aren't getting rich on this tour, so I applaud your dedication to your art!

love the punch line at the end "all of this for 45min each evening".

& is it worth it? I hear you ask,F*CK YEAH!
🤘🤘❤❤🥁🥁

Where is the cocaine and naked girls?

Wow, your in-ear monitors mix is pretty interesting thing to experience. I toured for 12 years and never used one because I’m edgy like that. Lol! I dig those sounds you put together though. ✊🏼🥁

Funny that I happen to clicked on this video after watching Adam Neely's video "What a month on tour does to a MF...".

Watching people lug drums makes me appreciate being a bass player so much, pedal board and bass...sorted lol Great vid and so nice having an insight into the less glamorous bits of a touring band 😀

Would it be possible to get info on the company that provided that motor coach?

Nice HIFI shirt. Thanks for repping Indy’s finest

Great to see a Vlog from another musician's POV! Adam's vlogs were part of why I started my channel and why I've been vlogging for half a decade. Loved the video Shawn!

Lose the DEVO outfits.

It does not look worth all of the effort.

As a guy that only writes music at home, it's cool to see the side that I have fantasized about for so long but never did it.

And Id do it all for free to feel like a road guy for just one week. There's so much bedroom jamroom talent that never gets heard. I got a 9to5 job and just play for fun. I understand not everybody gets that chance. But boy, I would literally pay to live out the fantasy of being a tour drummer for a week or two. It's gotta be worth it all when that curtain goes up. Music is life

How do you like the wagon compared to a van? We have shared a bus with a headliner before, but never taken out a bandwagon. You mentioned bouncing around, and I feel like that’s a common complaint from friends. We are dogs that love to drive so I feel like the extra cost may not be worth it.

Your not a musician 🤣🤣

oof.. did one bandwagon tour as TM/FOH and that was enough bandwagon for me. Those things are rough to sleep on.

Awesome video man, would love to see more stuff like this in the future!

Man thanks for sharing this. The video brings back so many fond memories for me. My experiences on the road were pretty much the same as yours. Crazy to think that no matter the success level, genre, band or home base. Touring is pretty much the same experience for everyone.

Great video... what I wouldn't do to do it all over again and just be on the road...

Awesome getting this behind the scenes look. I saw your show in San Francisco and it was absolutely amazing! You brought a lot of additional fun things to the live performance that you just can't get listening through the album.

Hell yeah, a fellow Nebraskan representing! I'm wondering if I know him! 😂

I realized early on I didn’t think had what it took AT ALL to tour, things like this absolutely confirm I was right!!!

Keep killing it man, love it!!!!!

This is sick?

Very nice!

Really dope vlog man. As a pro musician who’s never been on tour, part of me is like “fuuuuuck that” while the other part is “jealous as shit”. Looks like a ton of work but is totally worth when you have a band who feels like family and everyone else in the other groups are a good hang. Keep rockin’ 🤙🏽

Forty years, nothing’s changed. 👍 Cool.

That Minneapolis show was awesome!!❤
I’m the guy that came down from Nebraska 😂
