Following on the heels of the spectacular live show "Land of Fire 2008", which was broadcasted in February, Azerbaijan took their wildly popular finalist duo, Elnur & Samir (Elnur Huseynov and Samir Javadzade) to Belgrade to compete for the top spot in the Eurovision Song Contest.

In an unprecedented promotion, Azerbaijan hosted a free live concert, "Legends and Sensations of Eurovision" on the grounds of the historical Kalemegdan Nebojsina Kula Fortress in downtown Belgrade, to a record-breaking crowd of over 20,000. In addition to the finalists Elnur & Samir, the show featured popular acts from recent Eurovision shows including Ruslana, Dana International, Marija Serifovic, Zeljko Joksimovic and others.

Robert Kelber was lighting designer working alongside operator Tobias Åberg.

Three grandMA full-size and two MA NSPs controlled the lighting on the massive outdoor stage, which included, amongst others, 94 x Martin moving lights, 6 x Space Cannons, an arsenal of conventionals as well as some LED-screens. Lighting project manager Ola Melzig commented: "The grandMA was the first choice of desk for both the operator and designer for this show - it provided the flexibility, versatility, and safety to make this show the success it became."

The "Legends and Sensations of Eurovision" concert combined the efforts of an experienced international crew. The production was realised by RTS and produced by Euro Media from the Ukraine. Sky Music of Belgrade, managed by Milenko Skaric, delivered a turn-key solution to the production that included stage, lighting, video, sound and crew. Procon supplied the lighting consoles, follow spots and some of the moving lights.
