Just was watching some YouTube videos and his epilepsy just dawned on me. Should there be any issue for him? Thank you!
There was no previous warning for it when I saw it. I definitely had to close my eyes at some points because of the lights, and I don't even have epilepsy or light sensitivity.

It should be alright then. There are usually disclaimers before shows if the amount of strobe lights and effects are enough to send someone into a seizure. Now, let the good times roll...

"Dare To Be Stupid" is probably the song he needs to be most concerned about. That's the only one that has "strobe lights" going off during pretty much the whole song. I don't have epilepsy or light sensitivity either, but I've also had to look away or close my eyes at times depending on how close I was sitting or where the lights were pointed. I've seen disclaimers posted, I think maybe the Port Chester show had one, but usually there is nothing posted and no announcement made. Hope that helps. Enjoy the show!

The Mann had a posting. Last tour was bad on lights, this one I was only really affected by DTBS. He should just replace the song with NTTH and change the lights

Thank you for your insight, Gentleman. It really was helpful. We'll make sure to watch over him for DTBS. He'll have his meds with him during the show, but better be safe than sorry. It's going to be an awesome show. We are excited.

(Which song is NTTH?)
I was sitting in a row that was just at every-light level so we were blinded a couple times! Those purple lights are bright! But I guess every venue has their own light set up, yes? That would be why some have warnings and some do?

Hrm. Don't think I've heard that one! (I keep hearing about new songs a lot lately! Well. Not new, per se. New to me.)

I actually didn't know what NTTH stood for either, but I went to Weird Al Wiki, went to the complete song list, looked under the Ns, and found the matching song title.
