[SML] Audio levels

[Stephen Litterst]

Question for those of you in road houses or presenter situations:

I just received a rider where they specify that "Sound control and level 
is at the Company's discretion, but every reasonable effort will be made 
to accommodate Presenter's request."

My answer to this was a polite "hell no."  My venue, my gear, my 
audience.  I get the final say on audio levels.

Is this a common request on riders?  I don't get many road shows, and it 
hasn't cropped up on the few that have been through here.  Does anyone 
one else give up complete control of their sound system to the show?
