That part of the rider did make me chuckle a bit, but Polly has had some close calls. I remember one time while performing in L.A. this chick just literally jumped up on stage with her. You could see that Polly was visibly freaked out by it. The girl was taken down very quickly, but yeah... I can understand why she would have this request. Also, we know how crazily private Polly is.

Yeah, I felt guilty about that. I went early to the 2004 show, she played a club that I work for and I was going to grab some seats. There was a band playing and wouldn't you know, it was Polly and band warming up. She looked straight at me when I came in and I was afraid she would ask us to leave, so we kind of ducked behind a railing and tried not intrude. So it's my fault that is in the rider.

I think I have both now, I'll have to hunt them down later.

Here's a similar page from each catering rider. I can't post the whole 26 page rider from 2004, but most of it is contractual stuff and empty forms anyway. I'm not surprised the 2009 rider was pulled, they must have realized that fans had found it. There's a certain amount of business stuff they would probably rather wasn't widely available.

thanks, hell and high water!!

"the artist is highly allergic..." ?

Yeah, and then mustard is on the list for 2009. I'm guessing that it's someone else on the 2004 that had food problems, like Dingo for example.
