London Review

[wordawg]

Really surprised that no-one has been on to mention the spaceship thing after the second encore.
Haven't heard anybody report this 'effect' on any of the other shows.
Spooky.

Or that the sound upstairs was nasty, until the spacecraft thingy

I'll have what your having.

"Second Encore" Do tell.

This might sound silly, but you don't suppose it was computer generated, do you? I mean it looked real enough, but I couldn't see any strings or anything.

[wordawg]

I didn't see any strings, and I was fairly sober.  Don't know how they did it, but it made up for the sound. Wonder if Riny got any pics?

[SMc55]

He might post them soon. I think he said he was going home today or tomorrow. It was good to meet him - good to put a face to the name. I bet he knows how they did it. I'm sure now I come to think of it that there were no strings. It moved about in too many directions. It was a clever effect, whatever it was. You couldn't just see it from where we were. The people downstairs were definately looking up at it. It's a mystery I guess (as Jim might say) :)

[wordawg]

Looking back, it must be a new thing.
I've looked at the reports from recent gigs and haven't seen anyone mention it.
Maybe its just for Europe?
Maybe it was just for London?

Reminded me of something Pink Floyd did at the City Hall about 30 years ago when they were using quad sound with their outstanding light show.

Man, I don't remember the spaceship thing at all, I was on the floor, although I was pretty lit.  What's the skinny?

[SMc55]

No idea how they did it. Starting to wonder if it could have been a hologram. I know they tape TV shows there. Maybe they have the technology  :-/ We were on the balcony. Were you bouncing? (In the UK we call it moshing - don't know if it's the same in the US). One of the best parts of the whole night was seeing all these people jumping up and down to One Big Holiday - especially when Jim got down from the stage and bounced along.

I think the spaceship thing made his debut in london and yes, I do know how they did it but I'm afraid I can't tell... we don't want bands rippin it off ;)

I'll have some pics soon but not sure if it's visible.
you know, the dark.

[Sal Paradise]

Damn! Had to cancel the trip and seems like I missed a stellar show!!!!!!!!

[wordawg]

If Riny managed to get pics, people are gonna be soooooooo upset they didn't see it.
Quite an experience, and I've had one or two.

Excellent pics Riny. Like the one of Patrick via the mic stand and the one from upstairs (you get about a bit don't you?)
