Road crew
The road crew (or roadies) are the technicians who travel on tour with musicians who handle every part of the production except actually playing the music. This catch-all term covers Tour and Production Managers, Stage Managers, Front Of House Engineers, Monitor Engineers, Guitar Techs, Bass Techs, Drum Techs, Keyboard Techs, Security/Bodygaurds, Lighting Techs, and pyrotechnics technicians, among others.
The road crew are generally uncredited, though many metal bands take care to thank their crew in album sleeve notes; Pantera even go so far as to feature their crew in their tour videos, and Motörhead wrote the song "We Are The Road Crew" about theirs.
(There is also a movie called Roadie (1980), starring Meatloaf and Kaki Hunter).
