After four years, High Lite Touring has been again providing live show of Metallica in Czech Republic with the rigging, lighting and sound equipment. Despite the really bad weather conditions under the heavy rain, we eagerly endured in getting over these challenges and made our best to keep the show running.

Please pass along our sincere thanks to the lighting crew for an outstanding day in Prague!!!

We rely very heavily on the performance of the local vendors on these festival runs, and cannot accomplish our lofty goals without them.

Your crew did an outstanding job, and we cannot thank you enough!!

Many thanks!

The sound reinforcement system has been configured to accommodate needs of the audience area and expected powerful sound pressure coming from the system under the control of „Big“ Mick Hughes.
