Last night in Barretos, Shania did not sing "Let's Kiss And Make Up", and "Soldier". However, she ended the concert with "Rock This Country!" which she dropped the last week of the North American leg.

Shania Twain on World Tour with disguise Driving Video-Intensive Production

Live Design | Press Release | August 20, 2018

Five time Grammy winner Shania Twain has embarked on her dynamic “Shania Now” 2018 tour, which will take the global superstar across North America, South America and Europe this autumn before culminating in a swing through Oceania prior to Christmas. Shania has sold over 100 million records making her the best-selling female artist in music history.  Last year she released her fifth studio album, her first in 15 years, titled ‘Now.’

Complementing her high-energy presence is a video-intensive production design featuring moving video cubes powered by a disguise 4x4pro media server fully loaded with Q-SDI VFC cards.  “The shows video canvas is based around five 12-foot moving video cubes covered with a total of 18 LED surfaces; a large header screen; five LX pods with seven surfaces on them; a projection scrim; and two portrait-mode IMAG screens.  We have a total of 29 separate video surfaces,” says Tom Colbourne, owner of Blink, a content studio and production company based in Burbank.  Blink designed and produced all of the screen content for the tour with Colbourne serving as Video Content Director.

“The brief was to make something that could be reconfigured,” says Creative Director and Production Designer Rob Sinclair.  “Shania wanted the audience to not know what was coming next and for the band and dancers to continually appear in unexpected places. She often referenced ‘Jailhouse Rock.’”

During the show dancers are perched on the cubes, the cubes act as band risers and Shania rides high atop them.  The five large cubes are covered with animal print graphics to match her gown, optical black-and-white Pop Art, candy-colored lips, and country landscapes.  Contiguous cubes covered with road house imagery form the backdrop for a song.

“We took Rob’s initial references and developed them into screen content designs for all 22 songs,” says Tom.  “For a video canvas like this, the formatting and mapping needs to be part of the design process, not an afterthought.  So disguise was key to the design development as we refined the content with disguise Programmer and Notch Integrator Brian Spett during the programming phase.”

Tom explains that Technical Director Richard Cullen and Brian Spett “worked out a series of different output maps, and disguise allowed us to effectively choose which map worked best based on the creative needs of that song.  It was refreshing to have the creative and practical needs lead the technical solutions rather than the output maps restrict what we were able to achieve.”

A disguise 4x4pro was chosen for two main reasons, according to Brian.  “We needed realtime flexibility with different mapping presets.  We knew there would be times when it would look best to ‘project’ the content across the entire canvas, and disguise has a great tool for this.  Shania wanted the flexibility to sometimes embrace the cubes with meticulous mapping and clever formatting and other times treat the stage as one big canvas.”

Secondly, “disguise was a vital tool to help us ensure cohesive integration of IMAG looks and screen content,” says Tom.  “We knew we wanted to layer in content background looks into the IMAG feed.  So during the first section, which is a kind of Pop Art evolution, we rendered various layers from our main screen content looks and used them as ‘treatment layers’ for the IMAG... We teamed with Silent Partners Studio to create the Notch looks under Rob’s creative direction.” 
 
Brian adds that the 4x4pro also has the ability “to easily output the four LED and six projector outputs plus Notch integration from a single machine.”

“I don’t think we had any other options except disguise,” notes Rob. “We had a lot of content and a lot of surfaces and needed speed and reliability.” Brian used disguise extensively during prepro, “the visualiser was a key tool in early discussions with content creator Blink,” he recalls.  “It allowed us to help check test pieces of content and determine ideal workflows.  There were a lot of different surfaces in the design, and it was helpful to see which songs might work well with a parallel map versus a feed map.  Especially with the three-dimensional cubes, it was useful to be able to orbit around and see how things looked from various audience perspectives.  Even beyond the preproduction phase, we were able to keep working during 'house lights on, screens off' daytime rehearsal periods.”

Brian relied on a number of disguise features for the show. “MultiTransport is invaluable in this production,” he declares.  “We have different transports for Base IMAG Looks, LTC Triggered Content and SockPuppet layers that allow the main show to run in the background but permit override ability from FOH. Although most of the show runs to timecode and jumps tracks automatically, we keep a MultiTransport open that allows for interstitial looks and a kiss-cam segment to be controlled from the grandMA2 at FOH. Setlists are used in conjunction with the MutliTransport features to keep the list of tracks that any transport can go between, helping to keep the system locked down and very organised.”

Brian also gives kudos to Automation Integration with Parallel Maps.  “We obtain PSN data from the automation controller and are able to track the cubes in real time through disguise’s Parallel Map feature,” he points out.  “This is essential for a couple of songs where it would have taken many, many hours to replicate the movement of the cubes through bespoke pieces of content in the traditional content workflow.” 

In addition, Brian found that Incremental File Naming “really helped us save time from manually having to assign the main versions of songs in the timeline, especially as we tended to have multiple tracks running at once.  Frame Patches also were especially useful.  They allowed us to get requested content changes placed in the show very quickly between runs without having to wait for large renders or perform tedious timeline 'punch-ins.'”

Earlybird Visual handled the previs. Andre Petrus is the tour’s Lighting Programmer and Kirsten McFie and Rupa Rathod are the Video Content Producers.

Shania tweeted there were 100,000 people at the concert. This article says 55,000. Big difference! Apparently there was a total of 100,000 people at the festival and 55,000 people inside the arena for Shania's concert.

The details of Shania Twain's trip to Barretos

The singer enthused 55,000 people who filled the main arena of the festival

By João Batista Jr. | Veja | August 19, 2018

Former wish of the organization of the Barretos Pedestrian Party, Canadian singer Shania Twain justified the reason for waiting. With her show lasting 1hour 40minutes, she enthused the 55,000 audience that crowded the main arena of the event. The artist sang all her hits, such as From This Moment ,   That Do not Impress Me Much and Any Man of Mine. Part of the audience came from countries like Argentina and Uruguay. During the performance, she received some fans on stage when a boy knelt and asked his boyfriend to marry him. The crowd applauded and the singer thrilled with surprise.

The artist arrived in the interior city of São Paulo on the fifteenth (15) and stayed at the farm of the businessman Henrique Prata. "Educated and organized but did not give intimacy". This is how decorator Vera Helena Guimarães defines the artist. "She did not ask for extravagances, like many towels; just a moist washcloth "says Vera. All the food she had requested had to be vegan, including the brigadeiro.

Shania did not authorize anyone to take a photo with her. At the time of the show, I did not want any official of the event there. The stage was inspected by the chief of security brought from the United States before the country diva arrived. At the end of the show, she did portrait only with Ricardo Rocha, president of the party, and Pedro Muzeti, cultural director of the event. Her band ate pizza at the end.

Shania's presentation cost 4.3 million reais (US$1.1 Million), it was the most expensive hiring in the history of Barretos. She returns this Sunday (19) from chartered flight to the United States.

 I don't like it either but such people do it for themselves - just to have a memory that they got engaged in front of thousands of people. They also don't care about the crowd's feelings or thoughts.

HumbleKevy your such a bonehead.  How is this wasting your time? As for ugly have you looked in the mirror lately?  Cheesy I think this was very sweet and kind. If you got nothing else to say then say nothing at all and shut your filthy mouth

HumbleKevy, I think what Jessica, myself and probably all members here have a problem with is how you like to make your posts "personal" by insulting and calling people names when you don't agree with something or someone. It's not right and very rude. Having an opinion is one thing but there's no reason to demean people.

 point taken but i was not talking about any member here, just 2 guys who i thought were seeking attention at a Shania  concert. See no need for anyone to care what i say about 2 guys not on this board.  It was just an opinion . She was the one getting personal with a member . i refrained from getting personal with her.  Her comments were delusional . Anyway i won't address her again if she stays away from me. i have  to enjoy Saturday night now . Chow for now

People do this everywhere, not just at Shania's concert. Sporting events, concerts, etc. You know that. You're problem is that it was 2 guys. So what. You weren't even there yet you were insulting them and calling them names. And in what way were Jessica's comments delusional? It's like you can dish sh*t out but can't take it when someone comes back at you and calls you out.

Music: Shania Twain returns to Glasgow

By Nadine McBay | The Herald - Scotland | September 9, 2018

Everyone loves a winner, a survivor even more. We relate to them; feel we've shared their pain. It's why country music is so popular; its confessional vulnerabilities balanced by resilience and catchy tunes.

With over 100 million albums sold worldwide, Shania Twain remains the top-selling female country artist of all time. When the Canadian-born singer, now 53, plays Glasgow's Hydro next week, it will be the first time she's played in Scotland in a decade and a half.

Back in 2004, following a 96-date tour promoting her Up! album, she disappeared from the public eye for years.

From the outside, things looked good for the five-time Grammy winner. Together with husband Robert John "Mutt" Lange – her collaborator on huge, worldwide hit albums The Woman In Me and Come On Over – she had moved to Switzerland to raise their young son. Up! was indeed uplifting; packed full of big, universal pop songs such as the sassy I'm Gonna Getcha Good! and I'm Not In The Mood (To Say No)!

Was she simply taking some time out to enjoy family life? Was she exhausted, burnt out? We wouldn't know for years.

Until then, we still had the songs – plenty of them. From 1997's 40 million-shifting Come On Over there was You're Still The One and From This Moment On; romantic, triumphal weepies which soundtrack weddings today. There was also That Don't Impress Me Much and Man! I FeelLike a Woman!, brilliantly kitschy pop hits which can raise a smile in even fans of supposedly serious music.

In spring 2008, a spokesman for record label Mercury Nashville announced the couple were separating, after Lange had had an affair with Twain's best friend, Marie-Anne Thiebaud. In a turn of events that reads like a reality TV show, Twain went on to marry Thiebaud's former husband in 2011. That year Twain broke her silence, telling Oprah Winfrey that, not only had she lost her husband and musical partner of 14 years – she had thought she might never sing again.

Diagnosed with Lyme disease and dysphonia, a condition affecting the vocal chords, she must have felt lost.

"My fears and anxieties throughout my whole life have been slowly squeezing my voice," Twain told Winfrey.

In her memoir, also published that year, Twain wrote about her early life in Timmins, Ontario, and how she was singing in bars by the age of eight to help pay the family's bills. How her alcoholic step-father would regularly abuse her mother, and how, as a teenager, she had to abandon an attempt at breaking Nashville to bring up her younger siblings after their parents were killed in a car crash.

It wasn't until earlier this year, in interview ahead of this current tour, that Twain revealed her step-father had also abused her, physically and sexually. In that interview she also claimed she'd have voted for Trump in the 2016 election; something she retracted days after in a series of tweets.

Comeback album Now, is co-produced by Twain herself and features, as you'd perhaps expect, her most blunt, emotionally honest lyrics yet. Back in the days with Lange, she would write more introspective songs, but keep them from him. Now, it seems, she has nothing to hide, including the effects of age and illness on her voice. That more worldy lower register adds to the sense of plucky optimism on tracks such as Life's About To Get Good and Let's Kiss And Make Up. "Let’s be honest, let’s be open," she sings over the latter's tropical beat. "We’re not broken, not yet".

Sep 19 and 21, SSE Hydro, Glasgow, 6.30pm, £79 to £97. www.thessehydro.com www.shaniatwain.com
