In this episode of the Common-X Podcast, we sit down with Richard Oshen — the man behind the lights for some of rock’s biggest names, including Aerosmith. Richard shares what life on the road was really like working with legendary bands, how lighting design shapes the live concert experience, and how his career eventually expanded into film lighting and authorship. From wild tour stories to the artistry of capturing emotion through light, this episode shines a spotlight on the creative mind who helped illuminate rock history.
