Eric Price selects Chauvet’s Rogue R2 Wash fixtures for Taking Back Sunday

For Taking Back Sunday’s summer tour with Coheed and Cambria, lighting designer Eric Price chose a rig supplied by JR Lighting Design that featured Chauvet Professional Rogue R2 Wash fixtures. “Coheed and Cambria’s designer, Mike “Geek” Hionis, and I collaborated on the design of the main rig,” Price explains. “At some shows, our set started in daylight, so I wanted to ensure there would be an entertaining lightshow even when the sun was still out.”

Key to Price’s design were the 22 Rogue R2 Washes in his rig. He flew twelve of the RGBW moving fixtures upstage and ten on midstage truss. Using the units for top lighting and backwashing, he changed colors to reflect the varying moods of Taking Back Sunday’s music.

“My initial plan was to use the Rogues for top lighting, but as the tour went on, I found myself going to them more and more for aerial effects,” says Price. Also in his rig were five custom rolling set carts built by JR Lighting Design that held LED strips, strobes, blinders and hybrids.

On this tour, Eric Price and Mike Hionis worked with light techs Mark “Chud” Williams and Ben Jarrett, rigger Justin Mathais and stage manager Scott Wolf.
