Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Marking 40 years of lighting Bruce Springsteen, Lighting Designer Jeff Ravitz is once more at the helm for Springsteen’s current tour. PLSN caught up with Ravitz right after the first leg kicked off to discuss his gear choices, how he has brought his years of experience with the artist—and the band—to inform his design and how to get fresh looks over a three-hour show.
Jelly Roll at the Bridgestone Arena
Having sold-out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Jelly Roll has become a sensation in the country music scene, though it was a long road to get to stepping onto that stage. His journey was the inspiration for the lighting and video design from LD Bobby Grey of Notan Creative and Creative Director, David Pawsey of Lüz Studios.
Neon Countdown
Presented by Malaysia-based D8 , the Neon Countdown, a three day festival held at Wonder World Extreme Park in Bangkok, Thailand boasted a remote design done by Morrison, CO-based Collyns Stenzel, Collyns Design, Inc. and Ed Shaw of 36NORTH based in Las Vegas. Together they created the massive stage, lighting and video design, along with placing the pyro and lasers, without ever being onsite.
