Lighting designer Sooner Routhier specified 44 Legend 412 fixtures placed in custom-made wood carts behind the singer and symmetrically on the left and right side of the stage. "We needed to make sure that the floor package we used was easily configurable to accommodate the many different stage sizes," Routhier said.
"It needed to expand and contract based on the various widths. Luckily, the lighting company - Special Event Services - had some custom-built carts that they modified in order to pack lots of lights into small spaces." These props allowed the tour to set up a floor package and tear it down in record time for festival and opening act situations. "Justin [Moore] also requested a riser configuration and we needed to make sure that the lighting system complimented the riser setup," Routhier said. "The floor carts full of Legend 412 did this very well."
Touring lighting director Aaron D. Luke said, "Legend 412 did a good job, "having the carts on the sides made the stage look bigger."
