He turned to Paul Normandale for the lighting design, who put together a show that was both visually engaging for the lucky fans gathered at the Electric Ballroom in London, while also camera friendly - as the show was broadcast to various American TV channels that night.
Normandale said: "We had very limited stage space and power, so I had to come up with a practical plot to give the audience a feeling of just turning up to a small pub or club show. This was of course then filmed for American TV links which were mixed, edited and despatched overnight. In this capacity the lights had to be simple and easy to use, but with more than enough output for the trim we were playing within."
A 20ft rear pipe bore six MAC 250 Entours and seven static tungsten spots, while six floor cans provided further colour wash. "Since we had no access to the fixtures once the backline had been assembled, it was important that everything held up, and that's just what they did."
