I do love the "spectacle" stages of Steel/Voodoo/B2B/ABB, but that can only be taken so far.
I notice that no bands really attempt to outdo those stages nowadays. The U2 360 stage was the last time a massive stadium act has tried to do something crazy like that.
It seems the focus is now on a clean stage design, with most of the money sunk into ultra-crisp LED screens.
Yeah, Mark Fisher was a genius...I was sad to learn he'd passed away.Quote

This guy was responsible for all of those stages. He sadly passed 5 years ago.

On Voodoo Lounge Uncut you can see them on a small stage that's moving through the audience during the acoustic set just like on the ABB tour. I've never seen this on the Voodoo Lounge tour before. Were there other concerts where they had this movable b-stage? They didn't had it normally during the tour, did they?

I just found this on Twitter, didn't see it before. It's interesting because it's a rendering of the stage as it was originally planned with a walkway around the pit. When tickets went on sale for Hamburg, the map also indicated that would be the setup but then they went with the usual ramp

This stage set is much nicer than the current one IMO. I wonder why they decided to go with the standard catwalk?

The best stages are the natural stages, like Waldbühne and Hollywood Bowl. I was so lucky to get a "on stage" pit seat at the Hollywood Bowl, there was one on stage pit on each side with may be 30 chairs, very small area. Also No Security was a great concept, plus the 360 degrees ärena stage only used in 1998 spring, where people were seated behind Charlie, a strange still great concept.

Best stages based on my current mood
1. Steel Wheels- this has to be the biggest stage ever used in for any tour of any band. Will anyone disagree?
