Was there a possibility that there were two stages where they could leap frog venues? Thanks Bjornulf
Not to be nosy, but, are you in Hamburg, walking around this park?

Sad but funny comment.
I could imagine that the new Stage will look a little bit like Hyde Park 2013 in terms of the huge, all-covering Displays ....
Too funny. No doubt it's made the profit margin considerably sweeter.
He's not in critical condition: [www.Spiegel.de] .
Yeah, but they worked a lot faster then:

This is amazing. The structure must be very simple now to guide about 430 local workers .
Thank you for sharing actual useful information here!
It looks like the area at the end of the runway is much larger than the last several tours, maybe they will be more action out there?
Only 3 days to go and we will know for sure.!
Thanks. This is awesome. We never got that close in previous tours. Great voew.
They used to do this leapfrog approach to touring stadiums with two sets of stage being erected at all times.
I was just wondering if that is not needed now as the Stones only play an average of two shows per week. That would half the amount of crew needed if that is the case.
Before 2012 going back as far as 89' they used to play almost every other night and before that 81' 82' some shows were back to back.
Urgh ... I might believe they can walk on water, at least the Mick, but how would they effect that?
Only similar thing that comes to my mind is the Prophet Moses and his people crossing the Red Sea during the Exodus.

This is to comment on the way they build the stage these days, as a reply to a question in the Hamburg thread:
The stage is 100% flexible and modular. Since these tours started in 2012, the whole concept has been flexibility, modular stage to fit into any arena or stadium, with a minimum of crew.
Dale "Opie" Skjerseth, The Rolling Stones production manager, talking about how they came up with the current stage concept (Sao Paulo 2016 interview)
[www.youtube.com]
Quotes from the interview:
- "They are spectacular (The Rolling Stones). There is nobody else on that level."
- "We made the structure so it is modular. We can take it anywhere."
- "At Bigger Bang we were 500 crew. Now we are 70."

I think the stage is like LEGO pieces. They have core stuff they fly in and the rest is just steel and other material stuff they may get locally. For this tour may be they do some trucking as well, I haven't checked if trucks can make it beetween shows easily, may be. Still, it is the guys on stage that matters, the rest is simply decoration. And of course they bring the world's best crew within management, security, sound and visuals. That makes the whole difference between average and perfection.

The new stage looks great - a bit like the Licks stage but the two towers in the side are angled outwards to give people on the side a better view of the video screens. I wonder what they will put in the middle above the see through ("no filter"?) roof??

considering the weather forecast they'd better build a roof covering the whole venue…

I am trying to follow the discussion.
What required a crew of 500 before, cannot be done by only 70 now.
If, however, they bring only a considerably reduced number of 70 of their own people, that number will be relativated by the 750 or up to 1,000 (as per the various press reports) of local labourers.
That would give sense. Any comments?

How's the accidented stage worker doing by now?

I would not worry so much about the statement "500 crew in the past vs 70 now".
What this means is rather than having 2-3 shifts of 60 trucks on the road, with two or even three complete stages, they have modernized the travel and touring, so that the dedicated crew needed is less numerous. Still they need hundreds on site, lots of local bits and pieces and so on, so all in all it is different logistics, but not really 80% less people in total. Also, I believe it is more travel and envir onment friendly, which is important these days. We don't want to see the sealevel increase by a lot simply because the Stones tour, do we?

They used to do this leapfrog approach to touring stadiums with two sets of stage being erected at all times.
I was just wondering if that is not needed now as the Stones only play an average of two shows per week. That would half the amount of crew needed if that is the case.
Before 2012 going back as far as 89' they used to play almost every other night and before that 81' 82' some shows were back to back.
