What kind of accessories do you use at your shows? I have three lights that provide some visual effects; I'm curious what others use to enhance that stage area and or venue. |

I use various Lights, A Laser and a Smoke machine. However, I decide what exactly i'm going to use for each gig depending on venue and fee. |

Johnny Echo in drag LMAO I don't use any special lighting or effects. I think it's great under the right enviroment, but I don't need them where I work. Fortunately some maracas and a tambourine is all that's needed. LMAO |

8 par cans on stage (4 in front, 4 behind), over dance floor the bar has a disco ball, 2 'intelligent' lights that blink/rotate, a lunar effect & a fire & water effect. |

I have a couple of revolving disco lights, but for the people to have fun, I have a bag full of wigs, hats and even an Elvis outfit. Sometimes when there are no singers, I'll but video clips of concerts. |

Quote: a fire & water effect.
How is that simulated in that setting ? Is it rack lighting fx using an animation wheel projected onto a light surface, or is this a free standing device with lighting inside dual rotating units ? I'd think that can be tricky to mount in front of a pin-spot. or can lighting. Of course if you have it in a quiet undisturbed location projecting upwards that can be cool... I don't recall affordable fx in my day that provided that type atmosphere, nor have I seen that around here. Mirror balls, pin-spots, laser-lighting is still all around.. ![]() |

It is 2 individual effects - one rotates a water background on one side of the wall the other rotates a fire effect on the other half of the wall. http://americandj.com/product.asp?Produ ... t=Hightech http://americandj.com/product.asp?Produ ... t_Lighting |

That's a great environment to be working in. A big white backing wall gives endless options for projection shows and fx. |

Sounds like your dad also never told you that the discussion about big being better doesn't refer to the skintag under your right eye. |

I use 2 Chauvet led's 196 Colorsplash's. I use them up high to hi-light the singer. Also use blow up instruments; sax, guitar, piano, etc. My brother showed up at one of my shows for his bachelor party. They brought in a blow up sheep. ![]() He let me keep it and I occasionally keep it blown up but out of sight. And use it once in a while. Once several of my regulars were in the process of assisting a singer. Both guitars were being used; the sax and the keyboard. Another one of my regulars came up and said "there ain't nothing else I can play." Yep, I did. "Here, I been told this is more your style." LOL Most tears I ever saw from a happy crowd. Kelly ![]() |
