Besides the fact that Zucchero didn't even greet the audience until half-way through the concert, we spent so much time trying to SEE that it took away from our enjoyment. The stage lighting was awful. We never saw Zucchero's face! Between the darkness and his hat, our group joked that he either joined the witness protection program, was using a double and didn't want us to know, or he had stage fright. The stage was so dark that the tiniest of lights (like the seat lights on the aisle) were a distraction the whole time. Then every so often, the lights would go up and flash on the audience, totally throwing our eyes off again. The drummer, lead and bass guitarists were amazing (and mostly visible), but we were so frustrated by the dark stage and Zucchero's lack of audience engagement that we left before the encore. We'll stick to his CD -- the live performance wasn't worth it.
