LED video screens back Led Zep
Set designers incorporated LED screens into the backdrop for one of the world's greatest rock bands at a recent reunion concert.
Led Zepelin's sell-out gig at London's O2 Arena was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to experience a reincarnated version of 1970s legend playing hit songs like Kashmir, Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog and Whole Lotta Love.
A 28-metre wide and ten-metre high LED screen combined with two 6x6 LED I-Mag screens formed the video integration, Entertainment Technology Press reports.
"There was pressure on the design team to come up with something very special for such a unique night," lighting designer and show director, Dave Hill, explained.
"It was decided there was to be no stage set, just lights and video, therefore the visual effects would play a major role," he added.
The one-off benefit concert, held in December, was in the memory of music executive Ahmet Ertegun, the Turkish-American co-founder and executive of Atlantic Records raising money for the Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund.
