Speaking on tour expenses, Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett explained: "The idea of putting it on in Vegas really appealed, but in the end it would have cost too much. Ī Las Vegas residency was considered, but the "astronomical" production cost of previous shows dissuaded the band from continuing the concerts. The lifesize puppets were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop the Jim Henson Company would later award Gorillaz with the "Jim Henson Creativity Honor". Puppets of 2-D and Murdoc were utilized during intros and intermissions, addressing the audience and commenting on the show from the venues' balconies. Visuals and music videos tailor-made for the shows played on a large screen above the band, while the band themselves were kept silhouetted by a combination of dim lighting and colorful, illuminated back-paneling. While guest artists performed under spotlights, Damon Albarn and bandmates were kept silhouetted for the entire concert.ĭemon Days Live marked the first Gorillaz concerts where the live band performed in full view of the audience, forgoing the "behind-the-screen" setup of Gorillaz' previous tour.
