The Laserium console had about 150 controls and was played LIVE, like an instrument, with the music. Laserists had to be electronic TECHS and musicians. Hundreds of hours of production and rehearsal time were required before a show was performed for the public. The shows got BETTER every day as the Laserists learned from audience response. It truly was "The Ultimate Job."
