wxman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) Does anybody remember the huge 'Power of Houston: Firworks & Lazer Light Show' that they displayed back in 1986 and 1997? In case you've forgotten, there is a youtube link posted. But what was the purpose of that and are we likely to ever have another? That was truly spectacular! Found this, too: http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....0731&EDATE= and this: (This is cool!!!) http://www.ldsystems.com/tech_prod/powerofhouston.htm The one from 1986: BAD ASS!!!!! (watch the whole thing...look what they did to the downtown buildings...AWESOME!) Edited June 24, 2009 by wxman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the one in 86 was rendezvous houston and there's a thread already here...the ones in 97 - 99 were the power of houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTX Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yep. Saw the one in 86 from somewhere along West Gray/Allen Parkway with all of the other crazies. Bought a house in 91 in the Avondale section of Montrose with a very good view of the city. It was not nearly as much fun the second time around.

jfre81 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I saw the '86 one but I was quite young. I was in high school in the Power of Houston years. Would definitely be cool to see again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totheskies Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 LOL 1986.... I was 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arisegundo Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I was 14 when the family and I went to Stude Park to watch the '97 show. Great fun. I believe this was before they built the HOV "skyway" that kind of wrecks the view of Downtown from near the Houston Ave. bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
