I hadn’t given much tought to what I could expect, Pop Art lab (PAL) send a lot of group messages inviting to this event. And since I had the pleasure to meet Claus Uriza in real life a few days ago, I decided to attend the event.
Logged in about an hour early and joined the party at PAL. I had the feeling it was a good idea, at it turned out it was. Laureen Korhonen warmed up as a DJ, before it was time to hit the teleport and go to the stage. Little was I , and my PC prepared for what came next.
Landed in a seating area, and found myself looking for at good seat, until I realized the position didn’t matter, since you can “fly” around with camera controls(!), and see even from back stage, so I picked the nearest free seat.
Waiting for the curtain to drop, I checked the surroundings. Was not surprised my fairly powerfull PC was struggling, when I checked mini-map
As you can see the event was, a bit crowded. and to be honest I chrashed once.
Looking around I was overwhelmed to see how many people that was pulling the strings. Lights, effects, cameras and even officials looking after people.
“in an effort to reduce the lag…can ya remove your watch?” one of them asked me politely. I had completely forgotten about even a virtual wristwatch can course lag, and with so many people attending every little bit counts. Seems everything was thought of!
Soon after the curtain fell, and reviled a stage with several performers on. And I’m really sorry a statick screen shot does not give this justice
There were so many effects and lights, and sound quality was great.
I’m sure that the performers had timed their movements to the music, be course I saw the rhythm section only play some of their instruments, when the music acquired it. All performers did a great job, moving around, dancing, and playing their instruments.
Thanks to Cutting Edge Productions, Videopathic, It’s Full of Stars, Fall Films and Pop Art Lab.
As Pop Art Lab write on their blog “This will be one of the most amazing shows ever presented in Second Life”, and it was!
An impresive experience, and cudos to your all!

Thx Speed it was truely a pleasure seeing the Floyd show and hosting the afterparty. MoShang did a wonderful live chillout concert afterwards too, completing an event no words can describe.
Despite the technical issues SL still have to deal with (sim limits) it certainly showed future aspects of virtual worlds.
Your map give me a kick hehe.
Thx Bro Lap… u guys rock!
wow sound like it was a big succes – congrats to you all and to Claus for the big work
And I am so sorry that I didn’t attended this event (I tried to stay awake to 4 AM in the morning, but I was in dreamland way before that) hehe
And thank you for the article Speedmaster Bing.
Got a few comments, inworld, about the article.
It have come to my attention that I have left out mentioning “Fall Films”, which was responsible for the video that played in the background, on stage, and probably (my guess) on the big screens behind(!) the audience too.
“Fall Films” were also responsible for the voice over for the beginning of the show.
I’m sorry! Only excuse is that I had to forget about a nights sleep, to attend the event.
Thanks, for the heads up!
