Radiohead's Live Show
I'm always interested in seeing what bands do at live shows in terms of lights and stage effects. I think this comes from setting up for dozens of concerts at the Fargodome back when I was in college. Since then, technology has moved quickly and Radiohead's set last night at Lollapalooza is a good example of some of the awesome light shows that are being produced these days. Unfortunately, I wasn't there to see it myself but there are a lot of videos online that give a pretty good idea of what the show looked like.
They seem to have some sort of LED strips hanging down from trusses above the stage. Not only do these light up, but they can actually create patterns which the audience (especially those at the back) can see. In the video below you'll see the lyrics to the song "Everything In Its Right Place" scrolling in midair across the stage. Not only that, but there are video displays at the rear of the stage showing the band members. The second video below is shot from further away and you can see the coordinated fireworks which were going off during the song.
