BERKELY, Calif. — The first annual Regeneration Tour has been filling arenas across North America, as fans turned out in droves for a jam-packed evening of ‘80s rock legends. Music styles ranged from the electronica of The Human League and synthpop of A Flock of Seagulls and Naked Eyes to power pop from Belinda Carlisle and the blue-eyed soul of ABC. Delivering the musical variety is a Meyer Sound system featuring the MILO line array loudspeaker.
Engineer Wayne Pauley took advantage of a short gap between separate world tours with Celtic Woman and The High Kings to man the faders for all five acts on the month-long extravaganza.
“I’ve always loved how the MILO sounds on the Celtic Woman material, but I’ve gotta say it’s a lot of fun hearing what it does for that classic 1980s drum machine kick and snare,” Pauley remarks.
Provided by East Rutherford, N.J.-based Masque Sound, the Meyer Sound system comprised two hangs of 10 MILO and two MILO 120 line array loudspeakers per side. Six UPA-1P loudspeakers covered frontfill, and a Galileo loudspeaker management system handled system drive and processing.
For Pauley, mixing five bands in a single night made for a long but satisfying day of work. “I’m having so much fun on this tour,” Pauley says. “These bands are in top form, and it’s just a blast to hear these tunes again.”
