The Smoking Gooch...

Last weekend, I attended the Joan Jett and the Blackhearts concert at Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, Oregon. I'm not historically a big Joan Jett fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed the concert and have already pirated some of her old albums. Because that's why bands tour, right?

I looked up her and her bands "rider," or stipulations mandated in a contract signed by the venue that hired the band to play. If you paid Joan Jett to play at your venue/backyard, you'd have to agree to these requirements.

JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS MASTER RIDER 2008

Stipulations such as:

On any JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS dates that do not sellout it is forbidden to give that Information to Billboard, Performance, Amusement Business, Variety or any other publication.

In the event that your JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS dates do sellout you are required to give this information immediately to trades outlined above.

And what food/beverages the band requires back stage:

GATORADE ORIG. RED (FRUIT PUNCH FLAVOR ONLY)12 BOTTLES (NOT FRUIT PUNCH BERRY)

The Joan Jett rider is pretty tame compared to other bands. Check out more on The Smoking Gun.
