Backstage Pass
Over the past couple years, The Smoking Gun has published excerpts from the backstage riders of a few dozen performers. But that assemblage has not been extensive enough for demanding TSG visitors, so they've gone out and obtained loads of new riders. So many, in fact, that the backstage collection now covers a whopping 198 acts--everyone from Frank Sinatra and the Rolling Stones to Kenny G and KC & the Sunshine Band.

The contract rider includes specifications on stage design, sound systems, lighting rigs, as well as an artist's wish list--from transportation and billing to dressing room accommodations and meals.
