Born 2B Mild Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I may have been there in the 60's but I don't remember them much (man). I do remember the projected rotating liquid gel light show though. Now I'm in a retro band, I thought it would be fun to have such a backdrop. Anyone know if modern day equivalents exist?

JackieMoon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 [url="http://www.mathmos.com/"]Funky lights[/url] The space projector with Oil Wheel pack should do the Job. Cheers, JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I used to do my own with an old slide projector, some slide glass, food colours and paint stripper. It was fun, if a little bit dangerous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 ah memories... used to do the lights at the school disco... used a large clock dial glass and a clear glass tray and had them on an OHP slide projector... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born 2B Mild Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Cool! Thanks skankdelvar. It occurred to me this afternoon, that a modern way (and less of a fire hazard) would be to stick a projector on to a laptop that's playing music with the psychedelic patterns you get with various media players.

The generic ones are good but EVERYONE will spend at least two songs nudging each other and saying "Eh up, thats media player that is"!
