Gand Concert Sound Deploys Yamaha, NEXO For Dennis DeYoung At Chicago’s Wrigley Field

“Those little GEOs always amaze me.” - Dave Radley, production manager/front of house engineer

Gand Concert Sound of suburban Chicago recently provided a sound reinforcement system headed by Yamaha and NEXO components for a private concert by Dennis DeYoung at historic Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs.

The system for DeYoung, founding member and lead vocalist for the band Styx now pursuing a solo career, included 16 NEXO GEO S8 loudspeakers joined by two Yamaha PM5D-RH digital audio consoles, one for the house and the other for monitors.

The system was configured with eight GEO S8 boxes per side flown, along with four NEXO CD18 subwoofers, two NEXO PS8s for front fill, two PS10s for out fill, and eight NEXO PS15 slants on five mixes.

Gand Concert Sound also provided 3-phase Motion Labs power distribution and a RAPCO 48-channel split plus snake. A Stageline SL100 mobile stage from American Mobile Staging of Barrington, Illinois played host to DeYoung and his band on the Wrigley Field surface.

“The Gand crew was great, and the rig sounded wonderful,” states Dave Radley, DeYoung production manager and front of house engineer. “Those little GEOs always amaze me.”
