The system ran Jands' Vista v2 software, and on some sections of the tour operating duties were taken on by John Barker while Sinclair fulfilled other design commitments on his busy schedule - including tours by Peter Gabriel and Goldfrapp, also utilising Vista systems.

Sinclair's innovative design for Adele was sculpted using entirely white light, a bold aesthetic move which has won considerable acclaim. None of the moving lights were seen to move, there was minimal flashing, and was a real case of subtlety and suggestion to augment Adele's powerful performance and natural stage presence.

There was a distinctive back wall of 96 cone-shaped lampshades each illuminated from behind with a 60 Watt
