John Broderick & Yours truly

The Journey began in Birmingham, England in August 1996.

John Broderick and I programmed the show on Status Cue and WYSIWYG in a very small dressing room of the Birmingham Arena.

Nick Porter (The SpotCo) accomplished an incredible rendering of the "crazy stages" in WYSIWYG which really saved our lives in the creativity department! (Thanks to CAST Lighting!)

We toured Europe for almost three and a half months and did 59 shows.

The North American tour started in December 1996 and finished at the end of May 1997.

The experience was very rewarding. We had a great crew (You know who you are!) & the 110 Studio Colors were totally reliable (unless a tower fell on one of them!)  What else could we ask for?
