Sound, Lighting & Backline for Pistol Blonde in Vail
Full production — sound, lighting, backline, staging, and audio engineering — for LA-based band Pistol Blonde's mountainside performance in Vail, Colorado.
Colorado Live Events provided full production for LA-based band Pistol Blonde's live performance at a private mountainside event in Vail, Colorado — sound, lighting, backline, staging, and audio engineering, all set against the backdrop of the Gore Range.
We brought practically everything the band needed to walk in, soundcheck, and play: a complete backline, full PA and monitoring, and microphones for drums, instruments, and vocals — ready before the band arrived and running clean from soundcheck through the final song.

A Full Backline, Stage-Ready
Pistol Blonde flew in without their own gear, so Colorado Live Events supplied a complete backline: Marshall and VOX amplification for guitar, an Ampeg bass cabinet, a Nord Stage 3 for keys, and a full drum kit — all staged and tested before the band arrived for soundcheck.
That let the band walk straight onto a mountainside stage with a view of the Gore Range and start playing.
Lighting That Carried Into the Night
As the show moved from golden-hour sunset into full dark, the truss-mounted moving heads carried the performance — saturated color washes and beams that turned the mountainside stage into a full concert environment.
A dedicated audio engineer ran the mix live throughout, keeping vocals, backline, and monitors balanced as the band played.

03 — THE RESULT
A Concert in the Mountains
