A spectacular show, it was stunningly lit by a battery of Coemar iWash Haloes. Top of the bill were Mariah Carey and Green Day, while the winning team backstage and at the lighting console consisted of Allen Branton (lighting design), Tom Beck, Kevin Lawson and Felix Peralta (lighting directors), Laura Frank (digital lighting director), David Oakes (head gaffer), Darren Langer, Dave Hunkins, McClain Moss, Ken Burns and Steve Chase (show gaffers), Liberty Bock (operations manager). The lighting contractor was upstaging.
