"Yes I need 5 roadies" --- one for the guitar -- one for the pedal board the size of a small Buick Skyhawk , 1 for my AMPS--1 for the instructions book (on floppy drive) and the computer/driver to USE said book---------- and one just to carry all the roles of wires cables connectors etc etc etc

Now can we have the stage for a week to get everything DIALED in before the show?!??!---
