“Ozzy changes his set occasionally so we have to be ready to jump anywhere within the song list<br />
at any time.” — Lighting Designer/Director John Clark<br />
All Eyes on Ozzy<br />
“With Ozzy, it’s Ozzy; he is the show. I<br />
use truss spots on him. We don’t use FOH<br />
spots so my downstage truss trim is really<br />
critical as far as getting those truss spots<br />
in the right position. Venue to venue, as<br />
long as it’s been arenas we haven’t really<br />
had to change a lot. It really is a tight rig.<br />
It’s so <strong>com</strong>pact and we’ve got so much stuff<br />
up there that there’s not enough room to<br />
move stuff around because there’s not a lot<br />
of straight stuff. Everything’s crosses, circles,<br />
pyro, so the clearances are very small. “<br />
An Open Stage<br />
“We’ve been selling almost 270 degrees<br />
of seating area, as many seats as we<br />
can sell. So we have a very open stage. We<br />
don’t have a lot of stuff hanging upstage of<br />
where the drum riser starts and other than<br />
downstage of the speaker clusters, it’s pretty<br />
open so that venue site lines are maintained<br />
throughout the building.<br />
