So I got the joy of doing the Blackeyed Peas today (with some fergie singles) in a 8000-9000 seat indoor arena. Production is getting crazy with shows on the road these days. 23 packed tractor trailors, 17 tour buses, and three limos. A multilevel stage to trump some oldschool kiss stuff (2-3 stories) video panels off the ass. The flying/spinner DJ station was, i kid you not, nearly $100,000 to make they said...this is 10ftx10ft in size and just the rig, not the turn tables and other electronics. 6 seperate large video panels ranging from 50ft x 25 ft to 15ft x 20 ft. It was just crazy.
Now ive worked many of these shows and seen a lot of big productions, this is just the first since ive joined the forum and i thought id share
