Band gig pics using Freestyler

Here's a few pics from a band gig two weeks ago. This gig was for a Mardi Gras Ball Party. I used the Akai MPD-16 midi controller by me and gave the keyboard player the FCB-1010 midi controller to run the lights. I decided to bring two Chauvet Legend 2000's on this gig to see if the keyboard player could handle controlling some movers. Needless to say, he just stomps the buttons and makes the lights change. I still have a good ways to go with some training for him. I plan on getting another midi trigger pad. Something big enough for me to hit while I'm playing the drums. The Akai is just too small for this application. It is great while I DJ, but not for the band.
I put the LED pars out front again by the monitors, but aimed them in different directions this time. So the one right in front the guitar player is not facing him, it's facing the lead singer in the middle. The one's right in front the lead singer are facing the guitar players. They were not blinding the guys this way and worked out much better.
Also notice that I used the Chauvet Vue2's and Vue3's out on the dance floor and ceiling. I figured, yes we are the band playing and we want to look good, but its their party and they want to dance. So I gave them some color too
Here are the lights I used: 5 Chauvet Colorstrips, 6 Chauvet 200B LED pars, 2 Chauvet Legend 2000's, 2 Chauvet Vue2's and 2 Chauvet Vue3's. Freestyler of course with an Enttec Pro.
Anyway, here's a few pics. Sorry, no video this time.
Me in action. Notice the laptop and Freestyler running next to me.
