Peter Conlan: Brown M&M's, Backstage Blinds, and Bizarre Contract Riders

Join Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy as they get an exclusive leak from concert insider Peter Conlan, who hints at two "really exciting shows" coming around the holidays. Then, dive deep into the world of artist contract riders. Peter spills the details on the outrageous requests he's faced. Hear the real story behind the infamous Van Halen brown M&M's clause. Discover which diva’s contract included a literal "Lot's wife clause," forbidding all backstage staff from making eye contact, and which band required the promoter to dress up as a band member. From the massive liquor consumption demands of Fleetwood Mac to the simplest demands of Frank Sinatra, Peter provides a fascinating glimpse into the high-stakes, high-drama business. Finally, stick around for an unbelievable personal story about the time Peter Conlan answered a clearance call at the White House from Elvis Presley.
