Cosmic Jimmy asks a whole bunch of technical questions about the current P/P
setup that I can't answer, but two I can:

>7) What levels of VOLUME are they playing at this tour?
>(In 77 you could scream at the person next to you and could'nt hear
>anything above the music) BTW Thats the way i want to hear it :o)

Very, very loud.  I use 23 decibel earplugs, and could hear every note,
every word, though I could not hear the person next to me.  I tried at each
concert taking out an earplug just to see, and could not stand the pain
without them.  Hey--I'm there to _enjoy_ the music, not cringe from it, and
I want to enjoy many more concerts in my life.

>8) Are they using Lasers on this tour?? Any other Lighting Comments??

Very bright lights in white, pink, blue, yellow, orange, and green.  Only in
Toronto was I seated in the right place to see the traditional green pyramid
at one point.  In Pittsburgh and Cleveland one light on each side of the
stage was set very badly, shining out into the audience in the supposedly
very good side seats.  Every time that light came on in white, we were blinded.

The orange lights are used only during Tangerine--the only reason I can
think of for such a deliberate cliche is that orange may be a new color gel,
not available before.
