Mick's Shirt - Miami Voodoo PPV Encore
Posted by: sweet neo con ()
Date: October 21, 2009 12:48

Sorry if the subject title wasn't clear....

I was watching the official dvd from the '94 Miami Show (Voodoo Lounge Tour)
and I had a few questions...First, during the encore Mick is wearing a t-shirt
that seems to have fashion photo of a woman on it. It looks like a paper photo
that they attempted to stick to his shirt...because the edges of the paper
are flapping up when he moves etc... (I'll try to post a pic)

Does anyone know who the woman is? The significance?
I thought maybe it was Carla Bruni or someone. (???)

2nd question: How did Whoopi Goldberg get the honor of introducing the Stones
for this show? Please don't tell me it had something to do with the JJF movie.

3rd question: Was the little stage (used for acoustic set) that jutted out from the main stage
ONLY used for this pay per view show....or was it used throughout the tour?
I attended the VL show in Madison, WI and simply can't remember.

(thanks in advance)

Comment: Loved that they played "The Last Time"...even though it was
a little too "bouncy"..and Mick was awkwardly skipping across the stage for the entire song.

Final comment: I thought the VL staging and setlists were great. One of the better
recent tours.

isn't that the show where he had a magazine photo of Bill (with Mandy, maybe ?) taped to his front?
(sorry, maybe i'm thinking of some other scenario)

not familiar with that. this was definitely a b&w image of what
seems to be a female high fashion model. i'll try to snap a pic of
the screen and post it. haven't found one online yet. (thanks)

The small stage on the right wasn't a usual feature of the Voodoo Lounge Tour.
I think it was only used for this particular show.

right - it was the Halloween show where the Mick had a photo of Bill taped to his chest: [www.iorr.org] -
i hadn't realized it before now but apparently taping pictures to the Mick for the encore
was some kind of VL Tour Thing ... but i have no clue who that is taped to his shirt in Miami:

The shirt in question (poor quality - snapped it off my computer screen).
It might be a Helmut Newton image. (??)

3rd question: At least the small stage was used at the shows in Rotterdam in august 1995.
If I remember correctly they played Angie and Let it bleed from the smaller stage, that
remained on the big stage, but just formed a more intimate setting.
Those were the days before internet weblogs ruined any surprises. I was deeply impressed
with the setlist. All surprises, no idea what songs I had to expect.

exactly..i had no idea what the setlist would be that night.

of course this "acoustic stage" would evolve into the "b-stage"
for the B2B, No Security & ABB Tours. Did they do a b-stage for
the 40 Licks Stadium & Arena shows?

was this idea of a smaller stage & a b-stage out in the middle of the stadium
used before the Stones by other bands?

thanks i had never seen that clip (bill & mandy pic on shirt) before...

didn't realize that wearing pictures on his shirt was a regular thing on the VL tour. was it?
who else was featured throughout the tour?

re: the bill & mandy pic
i kinda like that mick was having a little fun at bill's expense but...
i wonder how charlie felt about that. they remain close right?

as i said above, i never realized before now that taping photos to the Mick
was apparently a Recurring Thing on the VL tour - i never noticed that that wasn't a normal t-shirt at Miami.
but looking at it now ... it isn't necessarily the Mick who's coming up with these visual jokes.
maybe he lost a bet with someone and "you wear whoever i stick to your front" was the pay-off :E

Bill and Mandy are also on Mick's shirt in Tokyo '95. Check your Nippon Voodoo dvd. I think it's a cover from Life Magazine or something. A wedding photo even.

Is it not "It's All Over Now" you're thinking of?

The stage was mobile in Miami, and came out of the big stage ( a few meters into the audience) I don't think it was used anywhere else.
The Stones People Magazine people in Holland would have mentionned it in their reviews of this tour, and I don't remember they mentionned it...

Another question about the Miami show: Why didn't Mick pop out of
the stage floor for the opening song - Not Fade Away? He strolled in.

They used the trap door during Sympathy instead of Not Fade Away, starting late in the Fall U.S. leg. Worked much better that way, I think.

U2's Zoo TV tour is (I think) the first instance of it, which was 92-93, so just barely beating the Stones to it. Remember, VL was Mick's reaction to Zoo TV.

I think so too.

There are many things that don't last long on Stones tours.

One of the 2 inflatables of the BtB Tour was damaged, and they toured with only one fat lady from the middle of the 97 US leg to the end of the tour in 99.

The cage used for the No Security tour was abandonned after only a few shows.

The stadium decor of the Licks Tour changed after a few shows, the new one without corn being inaugurated at the Giants Stadium.

Mick had a series of shirts on the Licks tour (I think) that had this image of Vanessa Redgrave from the late 60s:

i keep vaguely thinking i recall something about Whoopi Goldberg being involved in the business end of this show -
either as co-producer of the PPV or as co-promotor of the booking itself - and that a condition she stipulated was that she could introduce them,
and then the backup singers got her to join them for JJF as well. or was it the other way around? [scratching head]
i have no clue at all where i might have read/heard that, though - does it ring any bells for anyone else?

The little stage for the acoustic set wasn't used during the shows in Germany and Prague in 1995. I attended four concerts in those days and got three different set lists. One hardly knew what songs to expect, except the opening numbers and the last numbers incl encore. There was much more suprise in the air ... Unfortunately (or fortunaley?) the internet changed that.

guess I'll have to add my 2 bits here....U2 preceded their ZOO TV tour with 30 indoor arena shows in the USA where they first introduced th b-stage...and was such a great idea as you know...seems quite obvious to me that the RS copied this later....I believe the 'trap door' for the 1st song was shifted to SFTD after the 1st show or very soon afterwards...the 'cage' was introduced at the opening show in Oakland but the next week in Sacramento, it hung up above the stage but never came down...I remember reading reviews from fans & no one mentioned the cage so I don't think it was used again..maybe I'm wrong..think Mick thought it didn't work for him...and I have yet to ever see a photo of MJ in the cage...cell phones & small digital cameras were not the rage in 99 & security was TIGHT when it came to photographers...I know..my gear was confiscated...since the 'International Press' was up front for the Oakland show, possibly some brave photographer snapped a pic of Mick in the cage..would love to see one.....and I believe that MJ wore a t-shirt in Oakland on the VL tour which showed Bill & Mandy....peter
