Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds – FOH Lighting Console, Paris

4 October 2017 · Paris

The production desk mid-house, minutes before Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds take the stage. Five monitor screens show the same pre-show graphic across two lighting consoles, while the venue fills steadily behind. Front-of-house at a major concert tour is equal parts engineering and anticipation — every fader set, every cue loaded, waiting for the first note to make sense of it.
