This is for those of you who may or may not be interested in the equipment porn , and new stage that is at the infamous Ottawa bluesfest site. I attended the show last night, and talked with a few of the guys I knew who were working.
Global Premier Stage (a guess), the event now has a meterologist and weather station on site. The pa, and LEd screens are brought in each night, and the back cover of the deck is dropped in winds > 25kph.
Gear is 16 Milo per side, 48 HP700's configured two, behind two across the front of the deck with 4 milo front fill... needless to say there was plenty of kick drum to be had.
16 Mica hanging behind FOH with 2 650P at the base. SD8 at FOH and SD7 on deck with a guest venue at FOH. Lighitng was all Mac 700's profiles and washes by the looks of it, maybe 2K's.
B stage was EV xlc stuff, didn't get a cabinet count, but it looked to be 12 to 16 boxes - didn't get a sub count. 5D house desk out front with guest venue as well.

) subbed, 24 of the 700 HP's out of the states - they rest they own.... the milo is NEW, the insurance sold off the kit that fell - never to be flown again, I believe it's being tested (by Meyer) and parted out, maybe as loaner parts....amp modules etc.
