...stage structure which swayed and changed color and intensity in time with the chord changes of the music, then swiveled expectantly out at the audience, soliciting applause, great fingers of spotlight beams which converged on the stage and performers from towers set up all around the stadium. Mist from fog generators hung over the stage, making the intricate network of crossing beams seem almost tangible, like a gigantic multi-colored jungle gym which danced and contorted itself with wild abandon.
