Production Perspectives
Robert Peterson, Lighting Designer:
“Working with Bob Seger on this tour was a celebration of one of the greatest collections of American music. Bob is all about the music and musicians with outstanding results. It was an honor to be a part of it. Upstaging has provided the gear on this and the last two Seger tours, as well as all the early tours from 1976-1983. They’ve been great to us.”
Chris Stuba, Lighting Director:
“Bob is simply one of the best people to work with. As an entertainer, he just brings out the best in you, because he cares so much and it makes you want to do your best as well. The gear, and especially the Upstaging crew, have been fantastic to work with.
The design does not require very many fixtures, but with the truss motor moves, it accomplishes many different looks. We changed our motor system to Kinesys and this provided much smoother truss moves.
Being originally from Detroit, it has been an incredible opportunity to work with Bob, and it’s always a pleasure to work once again with my friend Robert Peterson.”
