I have been UMPhamily for decades and this is one of the coolest play by play for any live show I have ever seen. This is really awesome! Thank you for sharing.

So much fun to see this, Waful, thanks!!

Many years after, 15 years being a LD and I'm still impressed by this way of work.

How did you get into being an LD

Saw my first Umphrey’s McGee show the summer of 2017 in Indianapolis. I was immediately struck by the astonishing light sculpting - as artistic and inventive as the music itself. The Keith Emerson of light!

Waful is the man! Miss seeing him at the shows and his excellent work. Really great video. Thanks to everyone!

I can't believe this video is available for free.

Loved it! I also echo the opinions to make this an ongoing series. Absolutely fascinating! Thanks Waful

Wow this was freaking amazing, just made me realize that I need to add a lighting director to the band !!! This guy was amazing!!!

Seriously loved this video. Please make this first of a series.

What a great video! Only just discovered this channel so guess I'm binging them all tonight

9:14 he nails the end of the Mozart section!

Wow! Fascinating walkthrough from one of the best.

Wow. This is intense!

I just have to say that 10.51 through to 12:00 second mark is just a brilliant passage. Beautiful lighting.

Care and attention to every detail. Why I am a diehard UM fan.

This is magical!! I never thought about how much it takes to light a show like this. I'll never look at it the same way again.

And thats the pushing the button part, not programming the colors and movements for those buttons :)

You are awesome! The lights always make the show 100x better! I wish I could learn all of that to do it!

Most people do not have a clue what the behind the scenes guys have to deal with and go through so the show is as great as possible. Great info and great job.

I've never commented on a youtube video, but this is so awesone! Please keep posting! That would be my dream job honestly... Kudos from Brazil

Thank you so much from the heart bcuz I just bought my Rockville Rockforce 384. You have gifted me a treasure trove of wonderful lighting ideas .

Amazing commentary and great insight for up and coming ld's to understand what you are doing.

love these!

Years ago I did lights for a band becasue their light guy was not there. It was a simple set up. 2 trees that each had four cannon lights of Red, blue,Yellow, Green, there may have been other light. . I had SO much fun doing that and I was good at it. I knew the songs, I also played piano/keys in a band as well so that helped. It always made me want to try it again. Of course THIS guy is in and entirely elevated league than what I toyed with.

Such a gem of a video. I have a van RIDDLED w LED lights inside w preset animations to choose from, but i dream of having full control of them, this was very fulfilling to watch, i must chase after this

This is INSANE. He's so good.

God damn this video is great, had no idea all the work that went into the lights!

The level of professionalism I am aspiring to for sure

This is awesome!

This is brilliant! So interesting

This was super interesting! Make it a series. I don't think I'm the only one who wants more info on this type of stuff.

Just WOW! 🤩 you nailed it Bro! 👏🏼 🎩

めちゃくちゃ勉強になる！　 最高🔥🔥

amazing work!!!!!

damn, this dude is incredible!

Dis my bday! I was here😭😍🤘🏼

Bad ass! Show looks great.

Great Info cant wait on the following video clip. Many thanks for the recommend from your video cant wait for the following episode. Wish to here more from you many thanks. I wish everyone else obtained as much from this as I did, many thanks once again. Several of the details I discovered hard to believe. Will there be an additional video appearing quickly, wish so.

This is great! Love UM! Not saying that I have experience with this level of tech or performance at all, for sure, but I work as a stagehand and work spotlight positions which is very simple and straightforward for the most part, but every once in awhile things can get heated in the coms. Most bands LDs are very cool and laid back though professional, every once in awhile ya get an LD who's taking themselves too seriously, expecting you to do things that they haven't prepped you on, or perhaps been on the road too long & just stressed out. But very interesting commentary on one of the absolute greatest live bands and the most phenomenally intricate and intense light shows!

Thank You so much for this Video!! I learn soon on how to Control Lights at My Church so Thank You 😁

Really awesome that you and Luke got to sit down and do this, thanks a lot! I was just wondering what those four macros in the bottom right do?

Fascinating!

This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Being a DMX artist is like being a visual percussionist at this point- great work man!

That's BRILLIANT

This is a great behind-the-scenes look. I feel like a lot of bands don't give the production values of lighting and sound the attention they deserves. Here's a pro who's thinking about it. That said, I have a request I hope will be passed on to lighting designers everywhere: who came up with the idea that shining bright LED beams directly into the eyes of the audience was a good move??

Thank you!

amazing!!!!!

He might as well take the console and control it from the stage itself. At times it does not even look any different from a keyboard player. The first time I saw a lighting operator live was at a cover band gig, but the lights lad was pretty much playing the console as a musical instrument, with perfect timing. It was a very small console, but that shit was impressive. Now this guy playing the lights... having to follow all those changes in the songs, even deaf people could enjoy a damn good show.

The dj for lights!

So cool to see that

This guy is an artist.

Great Info cant wait on the next video. Many thanks for the advise from your video clip cant wait for the next episode. Would like to below more from you many thanks. I really hope every person else got as much from this as I did, thanks once again. Several of the info I discovered hard to believe. Will certainly there be an additional video clip appearing quickly, wish so.

amazing

That was so cool

In the moment!

Fun watching this video, I miss lighting

What happened? Did you quit

Hey man remember when we wired the lights up at the cape cod melody tent that was a trip man. It looked like a space ship in there. Hope your doing good man.

i'm really interested to know the list of fixtures used in your stage !

The LD is _extremely_ important!

Hope Sarah Allen is still there at this masterpiece of a venue. Oldest fam friend.

how the heck does he nail transitions like 15:12 when they decide to go back to dbk? or stuff like the "stops+lights out" that they do in stewarts? let's hear one with the in-ear dialogue!

I would love to know, what spots are you using there. They looks amazing!

Next to CK5, Jefferson is the greatest lighting designer on the road today

Insane.

it's 2023 and I am here for notes

Awesome

This is a professional stage lighting DMX controller MA3 Lighting controller, The control technology of this console and the little brother is also amazing！！！😍

Good!!

Would LOVE a gear run-down for this.

Where’s the first episode of lighting director commentary?

Good attitude, I spent time on stage in the 80’s. The only take the light tech to the side I ever had was..,. If i am playing, don’t turn them all out. LOL. Oh , one exception. One man was a neatnick, wanted to roll the cords into coils. Think Parr cans and rolled up cords. (Thumbs up if u know why that’s a problem, comment if you have had it happen)

If only I could eat the wafuls with me mouth, I guess I'll soak em in through the eyes! Amazing bts look!!!

Jefferson, you're every bit a 7th member of the band! While Umphrey's would certainly rock in the dark, you take it to a whole other place!

dream job

minuto 16:31, parece que las luces lo están despeinando! Muy bueno!

Thoroughly impressed

Looks stressful but very fun

I want more videos of Jeff

I just wish someone would let me do this for them someday although I haven't gotten my hands on it, I feel like I can pull it off though 😅 looks stressful but funn

And I though I took umphreys seriously... whoa Jeff;)

Please reply anyone

What lights are on stage they have sick effects

am I the only one who noticed those 2 Duracell double A batteries on the right?

Sheeeeesh

good

So essentially what I see is all of the lights on pretty much all of the time, doing the same cone shapes but in lots of different colours. Interesting.

How do I come into that buiseness for real ? I'm Finishing school in 2 years and at my school I'm in the Technic Team trying go understand Basic Things of Sound, Lights and Video. But what is your opinion is a Education a Good Thing or unnessesary ?

Hay tutoriales de esta consola dmx??

I want to learn how to do this so bad.
