So, after the thread about 'bad' sound guys what about the good ones ?

My one or two bad experiences have all been in the UK and usually because the club owner/promoter thinks he knows more about sound than the soundman or the band.
All the times i have played in Europe i have had nothing but great times with their sound crews, i know several of the posters here travel over there too and i'm sure their experiences must be the same.
The best ?, well they have all been good but one that sticks in the brain is a festival at Bad Ischl in Austria, the crew noted all our amp settings and duct taped the positions of amps and stands and once we were happy with our on-stage mix comitted all the levels to digital desks so when we came to play everything was 'as per' the sound check, the monitor man hit the 'recall' button and off we went.
He spent most of our set practising his juggling skills.

Not steaming in like prima donna's demanding this and that works wonders and a 'thank you' afterwards is appreciated.

So, anyone care to add ?
