Welcome to my world :-)

The only way it worked is that they had a stairway up to the second level on each side of the stage with a small landing about half way up

The guitarist had to stand on one landing and the bassist on the other

The three violinists had to bow more up and down than horizontaly to avoid hitting each other with their bows

Fun though…

The gig was a high end lounge act with players from some of the bigger shows on the Strip. It's a big band, 14 piece including 6 piece horn section. They start a regular house gig at a high end off strip place next week. Be interesting to see how they fit into that lounge. They had 35 inputs and 10 mixes and the place they are going into will have a difficult enough time fitting them on the stage, let alone getting them what they need in terms of inputs and mixes.

It looks like an OSA DM2000 surround and doghouse with the lamp mounted in the surround side like that. Inquiring minds want to know. Mac Dave, what’s that console?

Inquiring minds want to know.
