This design brought the streets of the Bronx to life with light filtering through the skeletal cityscape and rendering a range of environments from realistic street scenes to nightmares and drug trips. The massive set rearranged into many configurations and the lighting moved with it seamlessly. And of course, the design helped make some of the foundational songs of the rock and roll genre really shred.
