Laser Light Shows

Note from Dean's World pal Jerry Kindall:

"Once upon a time lasers were expensive and if you wanted a laser show, you had to be a big-name group and the lasers went with you on tour, with their own dedicated personnel."

"Now you can just blow up a weather balloon and give everyone in the crowd a laser pointer and let them be your laser light show."

Yep, that probably cost a few hundred bucks at most. Certainly, it lacks the sophistication of what expensive shows do these days, but it's actually far more sophisticated than would have been possible with a million dollars worth of equipment in, say, 1980.
