You know what would be cool? Have the concert start off during the day, while the sun is up, and use the Urban Jungle stage. Then, as the concert goes on into the night, the roadies and techs modify it so it eventually transforms into the Steel Wheels stage, but this time with the added benefit of a huge Jumbotron screen in the middle.
And to top it off, the b-stage out in the middle is the hydrolic Loutus flower from 1975.
How about they start the show with the purple carpet from 1969.....then two songs in the roadies roll up the purple carpet to reveal the dragon design from 1972. After two more songs they walk through a tunnel built underneath the No filter out to arrive at the b stage which is the lotus from 1975. The lotus opens and they play a couple of songs before jumping onto the cherry picker from 1981 and getting hurled back to the main stage which now has the tongue and lips scrim from 1978. After two more songs the tongue owns up to reveal the four screens from the licks tour. meanwhile the roadies have been busy constructing the fire breathing snake from voodoo lounge and it starts spewing fire as the boys crank up "play with Fire'"

This is ridiculous.
Why would the fire breathing snake from Voodoo Lounge appear after the Licks screens when every other evolution is in chronological order?

That "fire breathing snake" on the VL tour must have been the most ridiculous stage element ever. So much effort, so little effect.

With the Bridge to Babylon connecting them....
Ohh and a gigantic mirror hung above the stadium with the showlights being beamed at it, a lot of baloons, honky tonk women and Charlie on a "Tommy Lee" style rollercoaster that loops around a massive striking cobra that's breathing fire. (which i'd actually pay money to see)

But let's face it, the tone has been turned down in terms of grand psychical spectacle i.e. Voodoo Lounge, but too expect that level of staging in today's underlying austere tone, would be potentially uneconomic and at worst detract from the performance, the sheer fact that we are able to continue to, or for the first time witness the power of the Stones in the flesh is more than enough. I initially was a little underwhelmed with the staging of 14onFire/Ole' Ole' Ole' but upon reflection my attention was focused intently on the band not the staging, thereby creating a very strong memory of the musicianship and subtleties of projection to 40,000 people, and that was a remarkable insight into how they team as group....awesome, i truly relish this run since 2012, it's a gift to fans and first timers that will echo long after it's over... Viva Stones
