Kylie Minogue
After a series of sold-out shows in Europe, Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue (featured in Moulin Rouge) has made a triumphant return to her homeland with her On a Night Like This tour. Catriona Strom goes behind the scenes as lighting designer Vince Foster, called in to redesign the show two days before the European tour was due to start, tossed out the banks of PAR cans and brought in High End Systems Studio Colors®.
Stories from the road

Phish
Donny Emerick talks with LD Chris Kuroda about the unique challenges of lighting a band renowned for its improvisational concert style. Kuroda designs Phish’s rigs with AutoCAD and WYSIWYG, and uses multiple consoles to control the shows, including Altstar LD1500s and an LD500, a Flying Pig Systems Wholehog, and an NSI 120-channel conventional board.
