Biggest stage in North America, opening Ceremony

[ryano]

Regardless of your opinion of EDM music and EDC, take 13 minutes to watch the beginning of this video. It's the opening ceremony at EDC Vegas, a stage thats almost 500 feet across, close to 100 feet tall, pyro and water fx, over 1000 light fixtures, and a massive audio system.

it was great to be a part of the hundreds of crew that came together and for some, worked 25 days at the speedway to make this happen. i put in 16 days.

Damn, that would be an experience and a half to witness/play on that stage. Couldn't but notice one light flickering at centre stage around the 5:30 mark haha.

 

[ryano]

yea.. even if you're not on drugs, it was a site to see. everything was ran of timecode, production did a phenomenal job.

I can't get over the programming for the lights and screens at the beginning with the owl.

 

[uyghur]

Soooo many fireworks... This would be ridiculous to see in person

Yes. Hence the very first line in my OP.

I did not post this in regards to edm. I posted this to recognize the immensity of the production, and time and effort that went into this stage, and for anyone on here that enjoys seeing good production at concerts.

I couldn't give a shit about EDM...but that was fuckin bananas

 

[Barefootin_Fiend]

yeah, don't really give two fucks about the music, but that looks like one hell of a show. i can't even imagine how much that costs to produce. intense.....even without the drugs.

 

[.Rybak.]

So you were there too?

That looked fucking nuts. I would love to go to one of those but that in particular was just... wow.

there was no techno played in that video at all

 

[Wizerd]

That looked fucking epic

 

[-benedetto]

Holy Fuck. I like the bass to go a little more crazy though.

I was at Mysteryland for this. Similar kind of stuff, only 2 minutes, but the audio isn't as good

Yea, I was at front of house watching the opening part. Basically the first 15 minutes of this video. Then I had to head back to my stage to do set changes.

From hearsay, insomniac puts out 50 million. And takes away 200 million of profit.

Projection on that stage was fucking cool, not a fan of EDC at all but that was fucking sweet.
