Europe - Neil Young returned to Europe this summer to showcase his Chrome Dreams Tour with Bandit Lites as the lighting vendor. Lighting director Marty Postma worked with an original concept by Peggy Eisenhower. Neil and his wife Peggy had input into the design and content of the visual show at a level not often achieved by artists.

Large Vegas style letters dotted the stage as if discarded from an old abandoned casino. Various antique fresnels, scoops and other such lights were strewn about in a fashion more reminiscent of a closed down back lot than a rock and roll stage set.

Production manager Tim Foster guided the production. Postma and Foster worked with Lester Cobrin in Bandits UK office to pull a wide assortment of equipment including MAC 2000 spots and washes, VL500's, BP2 Beam Projectors and Whole Hog 3 consoles and wings.

The Bandit crew chief was Peter Parchment and he was joined by fellow Bandit crew Dennis Brown and James-Harrison.
