Really cool 'Old Skool' Historical-article about the early concert-show dayz...

[dsli_jon]

...I stumbled across, whilst searching for some other info... I *think* this may-be the same 'Wiggy' I had the privilege of working-with a billion 1/2 years ago, when I was getting my feet-wet as a tech-pup, working a few legs of a 'Mortal-Combat' live-production tour.. The guy was hilarious - and brilliant...

...it mentions quite a few 'well industry-known' laserists - including our very-own 'Photonbeam', Sir Janders... and the UK-brethren should get a kick out of some of the refs / locales / backstories, there... It'd be awesome to have any of ya's - that might have even been at some of those performances - to add your own 'cuenta' to these stories...

london planetarium/Laserium certainly did rock!!
I lived in London during 84-86 and went to see the Laserium lasers shows there many many times. I loved it!

It's not often I read but that was a truly awe inspiring account of the early days!

Did they do that speech that went something like "if you feel sick and need to go to the bathroom, be carefull not to fall over anybody that didn't make it there"?
