But why should anyone HAVE to suffer if they are able to avoid it?
I know this sounds a little like 'fight of the fittest', but if bands are
able to get the equipment they want why shouldn't they use it?  

For those bands that can't afford/beg/borrow (but definitely not steal!)
the equipment in the first place, then it's great that something is
provided for them free of charge.  However, the minimal expectation by the
band, of the organisers, should be that it is at least the correct
equipment and in proper working order.
