  • This was a blast

    Never would have guessed David Cassidy was one of Henry’s favorite bands. Loved hearing the story’s about some of the most epic shows of modern times. Lots of fun and very informative. Marcel and Henry make a cool team of “Geezers” who sure do know their craft. Thanks for the fun! -Marc

Scott DeVos - DWD
Q: What is your name and tell us how you've shaped the live event industry?

Lighting the Legends with Robert A. Roth
Q: Do you think technology has made us better from a creative standpoint, or has it made us too reliant on technology, computers?
Technology expands creative options, but effective use requires understanding how all production elements connect; lights alone aren't enough—knowing where to place them and why matters for storytelling.

Q: What has changed most in touring over the years?
She notes the shift from pirate-era chaos to HR-managed, more balanced operations with core crews, better mental health support, and a greater emphasis on work-life balance.
