david was great
by christmasconcertgoer on 11/25/09Abravanel Hall - Salt Lake CityRating: 4 out of 5David was great. The set was horrible. TOO much going on for the eye. The huge ornaments hanging down, the Christmas trees, the "metal fence" across the stage, the orchestra jammed onto the stage, the piano, drums, guitars, all the lighting equipment,(and the lights coming on and off and color changes that didn't sinc with the music), just a jumble of things going on that distracted from David and his beautiful voice. Someone should seriously take a look at the stage from the audience perspective...really. The coordination of the lighting to the musical number needs to be worked on - I mean, during silent night - the trees were all of a sudden hot red and electric blue...not very good colors with such a serene song. And get rid of the "fence" line - that was horrible. Get a good set designer - that is my advice. The music was great and he did a fabulous job...but less visual distractions would have been much better.
