I got a chance to see Dr. Megavolt perform at Burning Man 20 some years ago. There was an earth mover machine with flamethrower, a band in electric cage, and gogo dancers in various skimpy outfits, all engaging in a battle with the good doctor. It was incredibly epic. What I recall was the most immediately noticeable was the strong smell of ozone, all that lightning mad it feel like a thunderstorm. They did have to run the generators all day long to charge up the batteries for 15 show....

The Boston Museum of Science has a pretty good (well it was in 2002 when I visited) high voltage exhibit called the "Theater of Electricity"[0]. Perhaps not as exotic as the Burning Man performances, it was pretty exciting stuff even for me in my mid-30's. Well worth a visit.

  Good grief, I saw that show at least 30 years ago. It did make quite an impression on me.
