alfierose Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 6 hours ago, kiwiguns said: For a band to use pyrotechnics, you need pyrotechnic experts. There aren't alot of those experts available to commit to having people travel the world with an artist or a band as part of the traveling crew. The other issue is having access to the pyrotechnics explosives themselves. You don't travel the world with explosives in the luggage hold of the plane you are traveling around the world on or on the tour bus. Commonly the company responsibile for pyrotechnics services will be responsible for sourcing the pyro and it's transportation locally or internationally. With high transport costs and inflation, it's not cost effective to have pyro as part of your stage production. The tour promotor is responsible for those costs, not the band or artist and that expensive is factored in when the booking agent is dealing with the promotor. A band will have a small group of experts traveling with them as lightning, stage techs, FOH techs, monitor techs etc. Those people are joined by local contractors to rig the stage, the lights and PA etc. Those costs are all covered by the tour promotor who factors those costs into ticket prices to recover the cost of the investment. Taylor Swifts ticket prices are so high, because each promotor is looking to recover the cost or paying for her production and the entourage she travels with. That's interesting thanks. Ties in with the articles I posted earlier about the industry as a whole trying to improve their carbon footprint/climate ethics etc. Not using pyro in most shows is probably an easy win on that score. People might slightly miss it but not by much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiritual_Chaos Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Not saying it's not fitting when Metallica blasts off flames during Fuel. But pyro and stuff puts your band on a level of silly. If Neil Young doesn't do it, then neither should you. Rule of thumb in the world of rock and roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if that’s a shadow on her neck or she’s pulled a face mask down-could be covid related? There’s a bit of distance between dizzy.

There’s a bit of distance between dizzy. It's obviously a mask, I'd guess she pulled it down for a quick snapshot and that's it. Let's hope all goes well for everybody and they don't have to cancel anything, if it spreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicoRourke Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Do we already have somewhere an album cover for the show? Lifted from the litho or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year she wasn't as energetic as before. If she doesn't want to be there then she should just leave, and they should get someone else who will be more excited about being there. Honestly at this point she looks kind of out of place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a cold is going to do her any harm, and like that piece of paper on her face is going to do any good from protecting her from one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I seem to remember Melissa (between tours) took some time off social media for possible health related reasons. She might have under lying conditions or have a weaker immune system. So may still take COVID seriously. Or maybe dizzy has bad body oder. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
