DVICE TV: The tech secrets of Blue Man Group
If you've ever seen Blue Man Group in action, you know that their toys are almost as important as the blue dudes themselves. Rocking out with pipes, clothes, tubes and tissue, the guys' performance is almost as much about the accessories as it is the music.
So could you just paint your face blue, hammer some piping with a stick, and start your own act? Not so fast. It takes a lot more coordination — and a lot more tech — to actually put on a Blue Man show. Hear the secrets from the men themselves, and find out how complex it is to pound out rock-concert movement after rock-concert movement.

Pretty lightweight review people - real geeks want to know about the luminescent lassos, the whip sensors, what pedals the guitar players use, and oh ya - see Vanessa do Rock Concert Movement #4 - the Behind-the-head-leg-stretch...

I like the way you interacted during the interview! You made it fun to watch and now I want to go see the Blue Man Group! Very informative! Good job!

Vanessa's back!!!!! She's been gone so long I thought you guys fired her. I've seen the Blue dudes before so this was a cool vid although you could have covered the tech a little better, they use some pretty neat stuff. However I was so happy to see Vanessa again, she's what really makes these vids worth watching. You should do a special vid about her and her favorite tech.
