    Years ago I did lights for a band becasue their light guy was not there. It was a simple set up. 2 trees that each had four cannon lights of Red, blue,Yellow, Green, there may have been other light. . I had SO much fun doing that and I was good at it. I knew the songs, I also played piano/keys in a band as well so that helped. It always made me want to try it again.
    Of course THIS guy is in and entirely elevated league than what I toyed with.

    He might as well take the console and control it from the stage itself. At times it does not even look any different from a keyboard player.
    The first time I saw a lighting operator live was at a cover band gig, but the lights lad was pretty much playing the console as a musical instrument, with perfect timing. It was a very small console, but that shit was impressive.
    Now this guy playing the lights... having to follow all those changes in the songs, even deaf people could enjoy a damn good show.

    This is great! Love UM! Not saying that I have experience with this level of tech or performance at all, for sure, but I work as a stagehand and work spotlight positions which is very simple and straightforward for the most part, but every once in awhile things can get heated in the coms. Most bands LDs are very cool and laid back though professional, every once in awhile ya get an LD who's taking themselves too seriously, expecting you to do things that they haven't prepped you on, or perhaps been on the road too long & just stressed out. But very interesting commentary on one of the absolute greatest live bands and the most phenomenally intricate and intense light shows!

    This is a great behind-the-scenes look. I feel like a lot of bands don't give the production values of lighting and sound the attention they deserves. Here's a pro who's thinking about it.
    That said, I have a request I hope will be passed on to lighting designers everywhere: who came up with the idea that shining bright LED beams directly into the eyes of the audience was a good move??

One man was a neatnick, wanted to roll the cords into coils. Think Parr cans and rolled up cords. (Thumbs up if u know why that’s a problem, comment if you have had it happen)
