LOS ANGELES – LD Rob Sinclair is using Clay Paky Alpha Spot QWO 800 fixtures in his design for Peter Gabriel’s “Back to Front” tour. Part of the performance includes Gabriel’s full rendition of his classic 1986 album, “So.” Gabriel wanted to bring back some of the design elements from the tour that launched “So.” Sinclair says, “We brought the technique up to date by having five manually-operated camera booms with three Alpha Spot QWO 800 fixtures on each of them. They pretty much carry the show: The show is about those booms and the lights on them.”
