Check our Facebook page for a pic soon.
Sorry about the power outage, apparently 4 Kronos are simply too powerful for a single stadium to contain.

Yah! Brittani Washington and Rie Tsuji have always been endorsers of Roland gear on the Beyonce tours, each with a pair of Fantoms. This is the first I have seen them replaced with Kronos!

I think they were 2-73s and 2-88s.

Might of been. It was a little hard telling since Beyonce kept getting most of the attention..

Are those the original Kronos or Kronos X's?

That bought a big smile to my face. Such a nice change not to see Yammi Motifs.

Looks like Kronos X to me. The first "O" in KRONOS starts over the gap between "MUSIC" and "WORKSTATION".

That is some truly impressive clapping behind those stage props. The clapping wouldn't have been nearly so impressive behind cheaper gear. That music certainly needed the power of 4 Kronos for the producers to press play. They only thing missing were keytar straps on them and fireworks spraying out from both ends.
Almost as impressive as
