Another show I did on January 3rd for the band The Lifeline. This show was at the Metro in Chicago. I provided the
LED pars on the floor.
There were 5 HES Studio Beam 250's Don't really remember what conventionals they had, it was all S4 Pars, I didn't like the
house rig.
Console was a Hog500 for the
house system, and the
LED pars were run from
Enttec Lightfactory.
I cued the opening
track with the pars, Hazed the room out as much as i could in the 10 minute
changeover. The LEDs had a decent beam and certainly gave the backlight
effect i was looking for.
The first picture is for a song called romeo and juliet, and its got a very loopy riff to it, I almost regret using the color
bounce so early on in the show, but it certainly fit the song, so it was worth it. I just wish this
venue had some ACLS.
One of the pictures is pretty much straight white, they had a spot
in one of their hit songs that had a huge tension moment, so we grew in
intensity and movement until hit a hard note and I went to a
blackout, kind of a cut off feel, and then 8 counts later I through on all white as bright as possible as the singer cranks a really high
pitch. I don't know if this explanation helps, but this is the band that i'm specifically designing to the music and touring with. It was quite a
bit different from being a
house LD and getting new bands every couple of days to do lights for. I hope to have more shows when the band gets back from the south by southwest festival in texas.
