Flanked by sets of stairs, the open stage allowed Groban to walk straight into the audience. At times, the accompanying band - over a dozen horn players, drummers, violinists, guitarists and more - perched themselves on the edge of the stage or on the stairs as well. This gave the performance a theatrical look overall, lending an intimate touch to the large arena.
At other times, the band plays fairly close to the backdrop where the slim, linear and unobtrusive COLORado Batten 144 Tour wash lights uplight the scene in smooth colour, allowing for dramatic silhouettes of the band and soft borders during a projected video segments.
"The COLORado Batten 144 Tour lights are fantastic and worked great," said Mac Mosier, one of the lighting designers for Josh Groban's current tour.
