i was a bit pissed off at the last diamanda galas tour to aus, to me lighting adds alot to the music and creates a more emersive environment, she played in our town hall and they had the wrong PA for the occasion and about 12 par64 cans with a red wash, a blue wash and a green wash. except for her performance the show was disappointing and could have been done much better. but being a capital city of about 1 million people there are some people that aren't up to scratch on lighting design for touring acts. the mix was good but the PA was not great. she did a killer version of cash's twenty five minutes to go though....i just wish she played at the major arts centre where i worked then the lighting would have been better and so would have the PA.
