It's almost impossible to see anything else. A figure emerges from the darkness, holding a book. An actual book! The young lady is V, responsible for the Robospots robe. And with a 360-degree stage including a Snakepit, it is by no means a routine task – after all, the musicians can disappear in any of the four directions at any time. But such challenges don't faze Rob, V, and the rest of the crew. For Rob Koenig, most of the work is already done: He will run the concert by firing cues that he meticulously prepared during pre-production. Some effects, strobes, and such are controlled by faders. The rest of the show consists of cues precisely tailored to the band, allowing the stadium to shrink or explode at the touch of a button. That doesn't mean he can relax during the shows: He constantly keeps an eye on the four musicians. Eight columns for the rigging points Production Designer Dan Braun also exudes the relaxed calm of success. And this design can already be counted as a success: The eight columns are packed with lighting, sound, and audio equipment. Nevertheless, they elegantly blend into the stadium's architecture. Elegant and stable: The steel cables stretched between them provide the rigging points for the inner ring of Meyer Sound's impressive sound system. The columns themselves are equipped with two hangs of Panther modules each, as well as six 1100-LFC Low-Frequency Control Elements and six VLFC Very Low-Frequency Control Elements inside. "I worry every time about whether all our new ideas will work on a large scale," admits Braun, "but we have great partners like Meyer Sound whom we can rely on." Braun discussed his ideas for the stereo sound directly with company founders John and Helen Meyer, who embraced his vision and entrusted Bob McCarthy, Director of System Optimization at Meyer Sound, with the audio design for the tour. The columns are indeed impressive. Their biggest advantage is undoubtedly the seamless integration of live show material, which is usually presented relatively carelessly as a backdrop or on video screens to the left and right of the stage in proscenium stages, in order to reduce the visual distance from the stage action. The round video surfaces are framed at the top and bottom by nine Vari-Lite VL3600 Profiles each. Each VL3600 is accompanied by a Chauvet Professional Color STRIKE M. Between the round LED screens, seven Robe BMFLs are positioned in a vertical line, but here too, the number nine is not far away. Because underneath the seven BMFLs, two BMFL Washbeams hang, which are controlled via the aforementioned Robospot system. That covers the fixtures in the columns. On stage, a total of 48 Sharpy Aqua Plus fixtures are positioned, along with 24 SGM Q7 fixtures to illuminate Metallica from below. These are complemented by around 40 Solaris Mozart One fixtures from TMB. The stage edges and steps are accentuated with SGM Touring VPL fixtures. Last but not least, nine Proteus Excalibur fixtures are positioned at eight locations.
