How to Use an Overhead Projector in a Light Show
Light shows were popular in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. The shows allowed an audience to not only hear the music, but also to "see" the music through the different elements of the light show, which often featured an overhead projector throwing bubbles of color around one another.
