Shania Twain on stage in Miami. She works hard until everything is perfect. Quite a performer and quite a person.

And CMA's Entertainer of the Year 1999. After seeing her show, I believe it!

Part of the rigging. Notice the guys up in the top to operate the follow spots.

Part of the crowd on a beautiful night in Miami. My hero, Hector Ramerez, is on the hard camera to the right of the teleprompter screen.

Elton John was a guest star on the special along with the Backstreet Boys. Exciting time when he sang a duet with Shania. Great rehearsal too.

Go girl! Shania rocks Miami with her great backup band. Fantastic musicians.

Backage looking toward the rear of the stage. Notice the large, yellow crane on the right to lift Elton's piano.

Bill Lorenz with his 12 Digital Betacam VTRs and one apple.

J.W. at the Sony switcher ready to follow Larry's every word. J.W. didn't miss a beat.
