USA - One of the hottest tickets of the touring season, the double bill of Corinne Bailey Rae and John Legend, played sold-out dates at arenas across the US. during a run of spring performances together. The smooth, sultry tenor that won Legend five Grammy Awards blended with Bailey Rae's laid back British soul to create an evening of delicious R&B that offered something for everyone.

Michigan's Thunder Audio collaborated with Schubert Systems of North Hollywood on the tour, with both acts playing through Thunder's sound system, which was built around two arrays of 12 Meyer Sound Milo high-power curvilinear array loudspeakers, augmented by four UPJ-1P compact VariO loudspeakers for front-fill coverage. System processing was provided by a Galileo loudspeaker management system.

"It was really a great double bill," remarks Thunder Audio vice president Paul Owen. "Corinne Bailey Rae and John Legend have unique styles that complement each other nicely, but it made for a very musically diverse show. Milo is really one of the few loudspeakers versatile enough to deliver both the power and the articulation needed for their performances."
