"We really wanted to have the album artwork in the arch, and we thought about projecting it, but there were some limitations for projections, especially with the shape of the arch we used. So we thought; how about a screen instead?
"The LC screens were perfect and the audience and band loved it. For the last four nights we used the first four albums, so one album a night plus logos and pictures of the band. We had four nights with no hitches - the whole rig held up and there was no down time."
Stevenson used Martin's Maxedia to control the digital content of the LC units with the help of Entec's Fraser Elisha, who operated and programmed the system for him.In many regards it was a very special show for Adam Stevenson, who got his first lighting break with The Mission after starting his lighting career at Entec in 1985, straight from school.
"I was lucky enough to go out with The Mission right from the word go and continued to work with them throughout my time at Entec. I did their first ever show, and now their last show, plus hundreds in between right across the globe. As such it has been an emotional farewell for me, and the atmosphere at the shows was amazing. The crowd was made up of fans that had followed the band loyally over the years and there were faces that had been around for 20 plus years."
