"This was the last show in the UK for a while so the band wanted to go out with a bang so to speak," Bewley reports. "The show had to be quickly rigged and be totally flexible as the tour stretched over a week with venue sizes ranging from big to small. These had to be shows the audience would never forget; they had to walk away feeling hungry for more, which I feel we achieved with the rig chosen."
Bewley created the feel with an arena style set up that fit comfortably within the confines of venues like the Hammersmith Apollo. The rig consisted of 40 Martin MAC 301 Washes, nine MAC 250 Beams, 24 MAC 700 Profiles, and 16 Atomic 3000 strobes with Atomic Colors scrollers along with other gear. Lighting vendor for the tour was Adlib Lighting of Liverpool.
