After the gig at the Manchester Academy, the local rental company used the system twice more over the holiday weekend. Both times as a point source due to lack of flying points and positioning restrictions. On Bank Holiday Monday it was used at an outdoor gig to promote the launch of a "classic rock" radio station in the city - 106.1FM Rock Radio (imaginative name there!). The gig was held in the Catherdral Gardens and featured named acts such as Bad Company and Gun as well as tribute bands such as Letz Zep and Mercury (can you guess which bands they cover?). It was a free event and the PA company was told there would be an audience of around 1500. They put up 4x TSW-218s per side then a row of 4x TA-600H with a further 2x TA-600H on top (in point source format) all ground stacked.
It was a lovely sunny Holiday Monday (a rare event in the UK) and the gig ended up with an audience of around 5000 happy rock fans. Despite a few nervous moments on behalf of the rental co, the system covered the larger crowd with plenty of level and worked flawlessly for the entire length of the show. Everyone was impressed with a) the flexibility and b) the power and finesse of th system.
Unfortunately we don't have any images from this gig just yet. Will put them up if they become available
