Justice played the Ogden Theatre in Denver, Marshall stacks are just for show
Heh. How about that?
The stage was impressive, especially for a tour of this size. Perched on a riser above an illuminated, five-foot tall cross, the duo led the party with no crowd interaction but lots of bouncing. On each side, they were flanked by an impressive load of Marshall stacks -– 18 in all. In the middle of the set, I texted our photographer (who was shooting from the pit), asking if they were live, and she thought they were. But hanging out afterward with a colleague at the theater I watched as stagehands moved them on dollies out the front of the Ogden with ease. “Those aren’t live,” I said to my friend.The stagehand laughed as he passed us.
“Um, no.”
The sound was still tremendous – loud and bold and crackly, while still allowing for a certain amount of definition. (We were standing about 10 feet behind the soundboard.) The room felt –- and sounded –- like a rave, much to the band and venue’s credit. (via)
