HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnamese PA company Fantasies Show & Light selected Allen & Heath’s iLive digital mixing system for a recent tour visiting 10 cities in Vietnam called Rock Storm. Masaaki Azuma, the tour’s show sound director, has also handled sound control for Madonna, Oasis, Under World, Metallica, and Fuji Rock Festival.
Fantasies Show & Light owner, Mr. Hung, gave high marks to the gear. ”I'm very impressed with iLive’s ease of use and audio quality – my sound engineers love it," Hung said. "We decided to employ an iDR0 network unit – split from the main iDR10 MixRack – to run a second iLive-112 Surface and manage combined FOH and monitor sound. The ability to use two surfaces with one stage rack containing the iDR10 and iDR0 was fantastic."
The production included Vietnamese rock artists including female vocalist Phuong Thanh and the bands Tran Lap and Da Vang. It also included emerging groups, such as Thuy Trieu Do (Red Tide), Microwave and Ngu Cung. Each gig included performances from a selection of five bands, with headline performances from Da Vang, Microwave and Tran Lap.
The tour kicked off in Hanoi, followed by dates in Hai Phong, Thai Nguyen, Vinh, Hue, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Dong Nai, Can Tho and finally Ho Chi Minh, drawing more than 200,000 rock fans and millions of radio listeners and TV viewers nationwide. The opening night at Hanoi’s HangDay Stadium had a sell-out audience of 20,000.
