Fleetwood
Mac is starting its “Unleashed” greatest hits tour
with
lighting design by Paul “Arlo” Guthrie. Arlo chose
a pair
of full-size grandMAs for lighting and video control. A.C.T Lighting is
the exclusive distributor of the grandMA in North America.
The band commenced its tour of the US and Canada in Pittsburgh on March
1. It will continue to play dates through the summer.
“Arlo and I programmed the whole show during two weeks in Los
Angeles,” notes Axis deBruyn, the tour’s lighting
director
who himself is a “big fan” of the grandMA. So much
so in
fact, he own’s one himself! “The design of the show
is
fairly simple with lots of video. Two PRG Mbox Extreme Media Servers
feed custom content to 42 Martin LC Panels mounted into light
boxes.”
Among the lights controlled by the grandMAs are 120 custom Barco O-lite
PAR cans, six DL3s, five Bad Boys, eight VARI*LITE 3000 spots, eight
VARI*LITE 1000TS spots, 14 VARI*LITE VL3500 washes, eight VARI*LITE
VL500 washes, and 16 Altman Mini Strips.
Guthrie comes to the grandMA having used other desks in the past.
“He’s very happy with it,” deBruyn
reports. “He
especially likes the way it handles media servers more than any other
console he’s used.”
“It is a pleasure watching Arlo use the grandMA through his
programmer Axis deBruyn. They have tapped the power of the grandMA and
the show has really benefited from the sophisticated lighting &
video,” comments A.C.T Lighting President and CEO, Bob
Gordon.
