The lights usually move up and down and move like a spider. Does it have to do with the Red Rocks stage? The spinning lights moved up and down at the Red Rocks shows for Snakes and Arrows, so the venue isn't the issue. Yes but this lighting rig is much bigger. The whole thing moves and twists and turns. I saw it in Milwaukee. Not an expert here but again I am wondering if it is the stage. Maybe it can't support all that weight moving around.

Yeah I'm not sure of the point of this venue. I thought it was to bring large outdoor concerts downtown. If that's the case they should have had one show downtown at Charter One and one in the suburbs at First Midwest. I'm also not a fan of the flimsy seats or the fact that the 100 and 200 section is completely flat. I certainly don't think ever seat in the house is good at this place unless you are taller than everyone around you. From what I remember the area used to be a private airport until the mayor had workers come in and secretly bulldoze the runways after 9/11. Now it is supposed to be a park. The seating and stage is supposed to be temporary so that it can be taken down every year. When looking at the venue you can't help but think "how can this be a rain or shine show?" There is no way that stage could provide any cover to the band from the elements. Heck on Monday night from what I saw the lighting was not moving at all and they did not use any pyrotechnics. Maybe this was due to the small amount of wind blowing into the stage. This really wasn't much wind though for the windy city. I will say though that the sound on Monday night was much better than the Milwaukee show and much better than I remember First Midwest Amphitheatre being.

Was it just me or was the light show in Chicago abbreviated compared to the last 2 shows? (I was at the Milwaukee show too.) It seems like that big bank of lights in the middle did not go up and down at all in Chicago. They also did not use the fire at all. Maybe it had to do with the size of the stage.

Just got Row M/Sect 103. Yey for the day of show theory.
