Iggy Pop’s backstage rider from here
I think it is hysterical. It reads like a Hithiker’s Guide to the Galaxy novel (and it is about that long).

1 X 13inch and 1 X 14inch TOM-TOM, WITH MOUNTING, and if you can’t bring the mounting to us, we’ll have to send a bloke named Mohammed to the mounting. A stand mount would be fine, or a bass drum mount. Herre [sic] endeth the sermon on the mount.

This guy (roadie Jos Grain) would make a great Doper. Think Weird Al knows him?
Fucking brilliant. I highly recommend reading every bit of it.
But in case you decide not to, you certainly don’t want to miss the bit on guarding the dressing rooms:
Security: one at each door. Wait a minute, let’s start again.
May we have two dedicated and intensely loyal security men, preferably built like brick shit-houses, one for each of the doors leading to the two dressing rooms. Unless either of the dressing rooms has an extra door…
Ok…
Please count the number of doorways leading in or out of the two dressing rooms that are going to be using, then supply an unspecified number of security men, with the qualities mentioned above, the quantity of whom shall be exactly proportional to the number of said doors, adhering strictly to a ratio of 1:1. So probably two in total.
