Concert Words

Tonight on the bus ride home my mind began to wander, as it's often known to do, to words associated with Concerts.

I put out a note on Twitter:

Thinking about concert words: soundcheck, setlist, setbreak, encore, house lights, stage, crowd, PA, mics, monitors, soundboard, what else?

Quickly the responses started coming in through the various communication channels:
