Nile Rodgers, the guitarist and founder of Chic, performed an evening of disco music at the Lucca Summer Festival with percussionist and drummer Sheila E.. The Italian lighting designer Massimo Tomasino designed the lights.

 

He put eight Clay Paky Alpha Spot HPE 1200s on the back batten, six on the mid stage batten and six on the ground at the back. Eighteen Clay Paky Alpha Wash 700s were also hung on the battens: six on the back batten, six on the mid stage batten and the remaining six on the ground at the back. Clay Paky Sharpys were also used: six on a vertical batten at the back of the stage, six on the ground near the backdrop and another four on the ground at the front, to the left and right of the stage.

 

The concert began with slow moving narrow cones of light from the Sharpys and an introductory music in the background. A narrow beam gobo was inserted into each light to make the light beam thinner. The Alpha Spots on the ground, pointing toward the audience, were fitted with a sunburst gobo and rotated slowly. Then, with a start, the notes of songs like ‘Let's Dance’, ‘Notorious’, ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Good Times’ filled the air.
