I worked as the lighting guy at a large outdoor amphitheater as a teenager in the 90's. We had four fog machines. Take all the problems mentioned in the article, and add wind. Everything lighting in the show we had preprogrammed before the show season. The only decisions I made during each night's show were when to go to the next look. Except for the fog - I ran the fog machines manualy from faders on my control board. It was one of my favorite parts of the show because required on the spot, improvisational artistry.
