BOSTON – Morpheus Lights helped Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band kick off its “Wrecking Ball” North American Stadium Tour at Boston’s Fenway Park on Aug. 14.
Following a little “warm up” in Europe with 33 stadium and festival performances, where show times inched toward and ultimately exceeded the 4-hour mark, the band and the Wrecking Ball crew are primed to go the distance in what are anticipated to be the concert events of the summer.
Morpheus Lights is the lighting contractor, supplying the lighting system designed by Jeff Ravitz of Intensity Advisors, which features the new Ayrton WildsunTM 500C automated LED washlight and Morpheus Lights’ new CP7TM-IP LED Blinder, which dazzles audiences with weather-proof RGB LED illumination, powered by the Chauvet COLORadoTM Tri-IP light engine.
The rig also features VARI-LITE VL1100TM TSD automated profiles, Clay Paky Sharpys, Martin MAC Auras and Robert Juliat truss spots powered by the Morpheus RJETM electronic ballast. In addition, Robert Juliat 4kW Lancelot followspots are used for the long front of house throws from the sound delay towers to the stadium stage aprons.

Morpheus Lights is proud to continue their support of what many industry observers and media are already calling one of the most powerful and memorable live performance touring entertainment events in history. Morpheus is also pleased to be part of the creative team that delivers a stadium-scaled system that Tour Director George Travis recently called “21st Century lighting which still gives us the ability to make things feel like a 70’s club setting when desired.”
The Wrecking Ball Tour is scheduled to play stadiums through the end of September, and then it heads back indoors for arena performances, which run to the end of the year.
