Opinions people? This is my plot for a tour:

I am going to be running 20 Par-56's off of my back truss with two mirror based lights (identicle specs to the DJ Spot, just not moving head). Then two more of these lights on the ground, one one each side of the drum kit facing over the crowd.

I will then have 4 Accu Spots, there will be one near each end of the truss (2) and then the other 2 will be sitting on top of the main speakers.

The 4 intelligent lights I listed in the first part are 250-W halogen mirror based lights, pretty simple lights, nothing special, they do not have rotating gobos, they're not gas discharge bulbs, and they're not moving heads.

The other 4 are everything the others weren't, moving heads, discharge bulbs, rotating gobos and even shutters for strobing.

And lets remember, the 20 par cans. The color sequence will go like this (key=white,red,green,purple)

w.w.w.w.r.g.p.r.g.p.r.g.p.r.g.p.w.w.w.w

The whites on the each end will be facing in 4 directions, the 1st facing far left, the 2nd facing center left, 3rd facing center right, 4th facing far right. The other colors folow a similar sequence. the first rgp will face left, the second sequence center, the third right. the last section of whites will mirror the others.

Lastly, I will have 8 Par-56's doing color wash from front.

Oh yeah, and of course, I have two pretty nice hazers more than capable of filling any room they'll be in. Plus 3 foggers for special effects.

Sounds awesome! Good luck. You may even wanna seeif you can focus some kind of FOH special like on the lead singer or drummer etc...sometimes gives a pretty cool effect.

remember to take some pictures man... and good luck
