Good thing, because he’s getting his share of both with indie icons Say Anything on their 27-city Is A Real Boy 20th Anniversary Tour. Although they’ve recorded nine albums, in addition to appearing in films and on network TV shows over the past two decades, the popular six-member band has never carried their own LD with them on tour. For his part, Maloof, though admiring their music, was not very familiar with Say Anything’s songs.Read More »Paul Maloof Flows on Say Anything Tour with CHAUVET Professional and JDI Productions

Country superstar Thomas Rhett’s tour is hitting U.S. arenas and festivals with his mix of catchy, chart-topping songs and an “awesome” lighting and visual show driven by tvONE’s Green Hippo brand of Hippotizer media servers. A vast LED screen is constructed in each venue behind a wall of lighting fixtures, which are rigged on a scaffolding-style structure. Wrapping around the top of the stage, mirroring the thrust, a series of LED panels add height and drama. For each show, Creative Designer Alec Takahashi of BKD plays with depth, texture and layering to create what he describes as a “sense of wonder” with video surfaces. Two Hippotizer Boreal+ MK2 Media Servers – one as main, one as backup – are being used to provide the processing power, programming ease and eye-candy effects, with a Hippotizer Karst+ MK2 at FOH for HippoNet access.Read More »Thomas Rhett’s ‘Home Team’ Tour Stuns with Hippotizer
