I’m gonna say yes, and start basic and funnel down from there, ie ‘do you want it brighter or darker, more focused or less focused’ and keep doing that until you have an idea of what they want.

Any job that requires 6 days every week is a hard no for me dawg.
If you can, watch their first three songs from recent shows on YouTube, make a mental notes of who does what and what the stage placement/lights there are. Who runs around, who stays put, what side of the stage you should start on. Run the placement and envision your shots while watching the video. You check Setlist FM’s to see if they play the same three songs all the time or they switch it up.
I typically make a plan to follow each person for about a minute at first to get a safety shot, then I can go more freestyle and react to what’s happening in real time.
I trust my calibrated EIZO for screen usage. Don’t overthink it.
