During a tune-up concert held in Mexico City a couple of weeks before Desert Trip, Waters used 10 Syncrolite SXL's to wow the audience with their power and punch. For Desert Trip the count was increased to 50 fixtures that were lined up behind the stage to create incredible effects that could be seen for miles above the Empire Polo Club field, the site of the festival.
Earlier this year Roger Waters' creative team tested several fixtures at the festival site and concluded only the Syncrolite products could achieve the memorable looks they wanted to create for this high profile event.
