He can compensate for the changes in acoustics due to the weather and audience. They are for everyone's benefit, so looking out for them and not moving them makes Tommy and Jeff happy. Singing into them or grabbing on to them make Tommy and Jeff sad pandas.

Thanks Crumbo for the PSA!

-your humble Road Crew
last yr at SPAC Tommy was a sad panda ready to kick some ass, don't grab the mics and act like a jerk people no matter who's they are.

PS Looking to get better at pole dancing? Learn the basics, a stand at a concert isn't secure enough for you to hold I any fashion let alone spin or pull on.

Edit, some cool posts by the crew in the past.
Thanks for posting
