Roadies' burdens are the responsibilities of a roadie, which is a person who works in the music industry to help with the setup and breakdown of equipment for concerts and other events. Roadies are responsible for setting up and taking down the stage, sound systems, and lighting, as well as transporting and setting up the equipment. They also help with the loading and unloading of equipment, and may be asked to do other tasks such as helping with the catering or running errands. The acronym AMPS stands for Amplifiers, Microphones, Power Supplies, and Speakers, which are all essential components of a sound system that roadies must set up and take down.
