Beyond the requisite blood spitting, fire breathing, smoking guitars, enough flash to light up New York City during the next blackout, and a closed-loop roller coaster used to launch Crüe drummer Tommy Lee… View this story

Gary Parks 10/19/12 05:39 PM,Rounding a corner in Antigua, Guatemala, while on a sightseeing trip in Central America, I caught my first glance of a Todo Audio y Más production – stage and truss in the final stages of assembly with line arrays flown from both sides in front of the ruins of a 17th century cathedral.
