Tucker Wilde goes Rogue on Lettuce tour
- Details
This point was driven home to Wilde recently when Lettuce appeared at Omaha’s Slowdown club, and he encountered Chauvet Professional Rogue R3 Spot fixtures for the first time. “I really enjoyed walking into a room with some new fixtures to try,” he said. “We have a great touring floor package, but I really rely on festival/house rigs for flown spots and profile fixtures. This was the first time I have had an opportunity to use the Rogue R3 Spot, and I really enjoyed them.”
Wilde made full use of the six Rogue R3 Spot units that were flown on centre stage truss at the club, relying on the 300W LED fixture’s static and rotating gobos, along with its split colours, to serve up a variety of different looks. “Per my general style, I really like to punt shows and build colour and FX cues with the band as I learn the music," he says. “The power and versatility of the R3 had a great impact on my show.
“I was also pleasantly surprised with the strength of the R3,” continues Wilde. “I could tell immediately that its vivid focus and colours were going to work well with my tour package. It filled the gap perfectly for me, as I rely on houses/festivals for spot fixtures above the band. I liked the gobo wheel, and a prism is always a nice feature to discover.”
