What Are Those Lights in the Pulse DVD?

Post by ClapHillRoadGang »

During Comfortably Numb on the Pulse DVD some type of caged 3 sided round rotating lights rise from the stage floor and rotate. They are huge and one is right next to David. I've never seen anything like that in any concert anywhere else, ever. Can anybody tell me what they are, or were and where I can get more detailed information on them? Thanks.

They were pop-up mirrors with a spotlight on top of it and were similar to the Floyd Droids used during the Momentary tour and were just one of the lighting effects they used. The stage was designed by Mark Fisher and Jonathan Fisher - Mark Fisher - who died in 2013 - but their company - Stufish - still do stages for most of the big acts that tour

Here's a clip from YouTube with some cool effects from the droids:
