No Filter was a big improvement compared to 2014. Altough one must acknowledge that the stage in 2014 had a very different layout depending on venue. But one thing that I admired with NF was that our guys were back to having unique stage setups - whereas 2014 felt like the standard rock band setup (and festival).

And what is this construction over the tribune, could the stage extend that wide left and right?

I guess they are temporary stairs so that the audience can enter the front section(s) from there.

That's what I thought as well.

OMG, the stage is so high, hardly possible to see anything from the Pit... At least when you're front line

I'd don't think that the stage is higher than last time. The front rail (of the pit) has never been at the edge of stage.
beside that I wonder if the uninspired stage design somehow reflects the uninspired design of the posters we've seen last year. In both cases a kind of supervision by Charlie might be missing

Looking back… I seem to have forgotten just how ugly some of these stages have been in the last 10 years. Could be any generic rock band having a concert…

Man that 14 on Fire stage in Japan is super-ugly. I think it also really short-changes the fans - if you imagine that At the Tokyo Dome (which is massive) they’ve had the Steel Wheels stage and all the other great stages, and then they turn up in 2014 with that cheap and nasty monstrosity. I hope the new stage is good given the sky-high ticket prices.

Sorry I can’t resist the temptation to put all the shows I was at during the required period in order of preference.
1. Tokyo #3 2014
2. Manchester 2018
3. O2 London #2 2012
4. Hyde Park London #2 2013
5. Düsseldorf 2017
6. Edinburgh 2018
For me, Tokyo #3 2014 is not only the best show among those I saw between 2012 and 2018, but also unbeatable of all the Stones gigs I have attended since my first one in 1989. Not a few claim it was the single greatest RS show that happened in Japan, I just couldn’t believe myself that such a strong performance was achieved by them as late at a timing in their carreer as this.
That evening, the Stones gave everything, and then some, and then some more..! Towards the end of Satisfaction, Mick was totally immersed in his singing, looking obsessed. Every one of us who was there was awestruck in disbelief by Mick who kept shouting in an almost unstoppable mode, “Ai yi yi yi yi yi yi yi yi...........!!!” When everything was over, Mick Taylor was seen sending applause to his boss.
That was by far their last Japanese show, and they could have gone out with a bang if they won’t set foot in Japan ever after!
