I also seem to remember that the Bob-chats-with-the-kids-and-tosses-free-beers-into-the-crowd bit killed a good chunk of one case.
i saw gbv at the Bluebird in Bloomington IN - had the styrofoam cooler by bob and I think he drank 3/4 of them. No tossing to the audience though...
i have booked some bands in the last year who have been on Letterman, Leno, and Conan but not what consider rock gods or anything and their riders were as follows:
hot meals for 5 with veggie option
1 bottle of Knob Creek bourbon
12 bottles Red Stripe Beer
12 bottles of FIJI spring water
raw fresh organic ginger
5-7 fresh organic lemons
Organic raw clover honey
Organic hummus
Fresh pita bread
one box of condoms
another
24 cold bottles of Evian water
24 cold cans of Redbull
24 cold bottles of rolling rock and heineken
1 bottle of Jack Daniels
2 packs of Camel Lights
6 vegetarian meals
1 bottle of multi vitamin pills
2 large pizzas, i chees and 1 pepperoni to be provided within 30 ininutes of end of performance
at the pitchfork festival where I worked on the stage crew, one band wanted everyone removed from the backstage area including stage crew and stage manager. They relented after we asked them if they were loading all their gear on by themselves
