Enjoyable concert in a disappointing venue
by Ed on 2/12/23The Vogel at Count Basie Center for the Arts - Red BankThe performance artists in "On a Winter's Night" were wonderful: a diverse folk playlist well sung and charmingly presented. The sound system was good. Our seats at the round tables in the balcony on the left side: not good. The left third of the stage was obstructed. When the person sitting at the table to our left leaned on the railing the entire stage was blocked. Sight lines in a newer venue should not be an issue except for poor design, which is unfortunately the case for The Vogel. And, for some reason, the stage lights were sometimes blindingly turned onto the audience. Good concert, poorly designed venue.
