Even the Bluecoats first Beatles show in 1992 was way better than any imaginary show of that nature designed by a staff under the iron-fist rule of an idiot. Someone mentioned Saucedo and Gaines when they were with Cavaliers. I agree. They did a fantastic Billy Joel show in 2007 that I really liked.

While they are both shows featuring a single artist/group and completely different, there's something they both did that is 100% on the mark. They both did shows that fit the original artist's/group's style. A Billy Joel show wouldn't have worked in the style of The Beatles in the same way you couldn't do The Beatles in the style of Billy Joel. Both corps understood that and that's why those shows work in their own ways. Edited July 24, 2019 by East9900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavaliers 2005? A couple dozen others? Maybe we're talking about different things? Edited July 24, 2019 by N.E. Brigand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was mostly abandoned except for one on which a soloist stood. It was an idea ahead of its time that was eventually used by someone else. I think he was thinking in terms of guard utensils to create that "z" axis as well, I think it's a more than appropriate term here. Also, trying to create visual forms that would 'pop' in that dimension as well. I think, had he lived for a few more years, he would have had the "AH-HAH!" moment with physical structures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JVD did that with Star of Indiana in '92 with those moving prop poles the mms used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
