What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Hank is back in Missoula from tour and will show one full day on the road

★★★ Hank says he has just got back home to Missoula from tour and shares one full day in the life of the tour, step by step. — 00:00:00 · Missoula, Montana

00:00:12 — Morning: waking early, packing, van Tetris, breakfast, hours in the van, closed Ethiopian restaurant

★★ Hank shows a tour morning: waking very early, stuffing everything into one bag, packing the van, breakfast in the car, and long hours sitting in the van. (playful) — 00:00:12
★ The band tries to get Ethiopian food but the restaurant is closed, and they end up in a very hot parking lot. (playful) — 00:00:51

00:01:02 — At the venue: Rob Scallon's personal concert, merch stand, VIP bracelets, green room, tuning

★★ At the venue Rob Scallon plays Hank a personal concert; Hank admits he missed loading everything into the venue because he was on a phone call. — 00:01:25
★ Hank shows setting up the merch stand, getting VIP bracelets, a green room that is purple, and tuning guitars. (playful) — 00:01:40

00:02:18 — Before the show: dinner, friends, set lists, waiting to go on stage, huddle

★★ Hank says waiting to go on stage is the part of the day he hates the most. — 00:02:32

00:02:56 — The show, signing, hotel, second dinners, sleep and repeat; sign-off

★★ After the show Hank goes out to sign and take pictures with people; at the hotel the group, starving, looks for a place to eat, goofs around and has second dinners, then sleeps and does it all again. (playful) — 00:03:04
