Madonna and lighting designer Roy Bennett used Lightwave Prism Series lasers by Arctos for the 2008 Sticky and Sweet World Tour.  Lasers were integrated with the main lighting control system and playback was achieved through multiple grandMA consoles synchronized to show timecode. Content was served from individual Lightwave Laser Servers embedded in each fixture. This approach guaranteed frame-accurate playback of all lighting instruments, including lasers, at each show in every country.

Recipient of 2009 ILDA Award : FIRST PLACE live stage performance.  The world's largest full-color lasers re-created the iconic Pink Floyd prism in laser light. The famous cover artwork from "Dark Side of the Moon" was created by Storm Thorgerson, concepualized as a laser artform by lighting designer Marc Brickman, and realized by Lightwave International and ETG. Over 100 Watts of full color lasers were used to ‘magically’ transform an abstract set piece into a rotating tetrahedron towering above the audience.  There, it rotated and emitted Pink Floyd's famous white beam and rainbow.

Ghostland Observatory is a relatively new band that has developed a huge and loyal worldwide fan base by delivering no-compromise performances. This was achieved largely through the use of lasers – and lots of them - at their live shows. This band often has 40-100W of laser power on stage at any show, and achieves the look and feel of a band much larger and more experienced. It has given them an image of being highly original, unique, and attendees can count on them for stellar live shows.  This approach has paid off and has gained them massive attendances, led them to quickly outgrow venues, and has established an image branding that is, quite simply, LASERS.

Korn began their 2008 World Tour in Europe with another laser-centric design. Tour LD Martin Potoczny showed off the power of the grandMA / DMX Lightwave Laser Server combination with stunning laser looks.
