Yeah. There always is something, isn't there? In Munich Mick left his mic stand at the end of the catwalk and no one bothered to take that shit away, like crew usually does. So from my loser spot, front row of Silver pit in the extension line of the catwalk, on many pics, I have black line (which was the stand) going right through it. In others I have the A4 seat block sign no one bothered to take away once the show started.
Edit: You can even see that @#$%& mic stand in the pix above.

Yeah. Because it's the side view, but this and that and the other is annoying:
Not the best pics anyway, so it doesn't matter all that much, but for you to get what I mean.
Yeah, that's what it looks like from the pictures.
NO FILTER seemed to represent watching a concert on a cell phone only much bigger. Great idea, actually, regardless of if that was a consideration.
It's too bad they didn't incorporate something along the lines of U2's 2017 THE JOSHUA TREE stage, which was beyond fantastic.
Don't get why they don't just have larger screens.

Topi seems to be right - [iorr.org] :
"What I heard they don't actually have a stage of their own. They just rent out a basic festival stage in every city and only bring in the frames, the screens and the catwalk etc. Much less expensive logistically."
So the basic structure of the stages in Madrid, Munich & Liverpool looks a little different, especially the roof.
That's quite a bit lower for sure, and the lower it gets, the more it looks like its being squished...like a bug that's been stomped on.

I think it’s lower because the stage roof in Madrid is much higher - I think it was the same in 2014, which was why they couldn’t used the full stage decoration
Oh yes I agree - I meant to say it was lower in Liverpool and higher in Madrid because the roof of the stage in Madrid was much higher.
Oh right. Yeah could have actually been the reason for the higher frames. Otherwise it might have looked really bizarre
And the cutout area for the drums and the larger video screen are wildly different shapes
Rod
It's the same shape but the lower part was just left off after Madrid
You mean the seated area in Munich behind the Pit (seats surrounding the catwalk)? It'll be similar in Gelsenkirchen.

I does seem so from the video's I have seen. Pretty sure some people will be able to comment from experience.

About what can be seen on youtube videos, it seems that the new stage (SIXTY) has a higher catwalk than the previous one (NO FILTER).
In addition, it seems that there are more stuffs and bigger stuffs (ventilators, lights etc.) on the border of the catwalk.
I fear that a spot on the border of the catwalk is less appealing when compared with the No Filter Tour.
Am I right ? Is someone who attend the shows can confirm (or not) ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !!

I haven't been to a SIXTY show but judging just from Irix's pics the catwalk looks to me to be pretty much the same height as No Filter's. Well higher than your head... unless you're an NBA center.
Being right on the No Filter catwalk rails was not the place to be if you wanted to see the opposite side of the stage too. You needed to be -- varied with your height of course -- 10 or 15 feet (what's that... abt 3 to 5 meters) back off of the catwalk rail to see the far stage over it.
I could be wrong but to me the SIXTY catwalk in the pics doesn't look higher. But somebody who's been in pits for both tours can judge it better.

The picture of Ron and Mick is absolutely beautiful. Congrat !! 
The mic stand does not bother in this picture (but I understand it could be not nice on others).

I was actually one of the people who quite liked the new stage design and was looking forward to see it.
I had seats on the stands for Munich and was disappointed of the screens. First of all, from the side you can't see much of the middle screen. I expected this from the pictures I saw before but I hoped for the side screens to be sufficient. They were not. I moved more towards the middle of the stadium during the show and found it to be a better view since the middle screen was now visible.
The side screens are far to small to watch if you're not really close, I found it exhausting to look at them. Not only because of the size, but also because the lightning of the musicians (and therefore also the projections on the screen) are quite dark this tour. In addition to that there are also some kind of animated frames sometimes so that the actual displayed picture is even smaller.
I don't get why see frames of the side screens have to be this big and the screens so small. If they had choosen the 14 on fire screen size it would have been much more enjoyable.
Also, the overall stage height is so low compared to the high No Filter Towers that at the same seats it feels more like looking down at the show than being part of the show. Sounds weird but maybe you understand what I mean.
So my conclusion is, if you're visiting this tour make sure you have seats relatively close to the stage. Having seats on the stands is not as good as it was on the No Filter Tour and even on the 14 on Fire tour. Although the angle closer to the middle of the stadium (10 to 2 a clock) is much better then on the sides (9 or 3 a clock), since you can see the larger middle screen.

...why (apart from cost) they thought it was a good idea to replace the simple and effective No Filter screens I have no idea.
I was amazed at how great the giant No Filter LED towers were. After decades of big acts futzing around, experimenting with how to best project concerts onto screens in huge stadiums, here we go... somebody's finally perfected the art. The No Filter towers had to be making the experience, especially in the nosebleeds, vastly better. Maybe even made ticket prices almost seem reasonable regardless of where in the stadium you were.
So I was pretty certain that no matter whatever other changes the Stones might make for future tours, whatever decorations or motifs might change, whatever bells and whistles they might add, that they'd certainly be smart enough to never put on a stadium show again and leave those four big beauties home.
Aaaannnd... I was dead wrong.
NO FILTER seemed to represent watching a concert on a cell phone only much bigger. Great idea, actually, regardless of if that was a consideration.
It's too bad they didn't incorporate something along the lines of U2's 2017 THE JOSHUA TREE stage, which was beyond fantastic.

Good catch, have been to Munich - it already had to lowered stage. The stage itself looks better that way but the screens felt really low and it was a feeling of looking down at the show rather than being part of it.Quote

I think it’s lower because the stage roof in Madrid is much higher - I think it was the same in 2014, which was why they couldn’t used the full stage decoration

Sorry to hear about the postponed dates so far. Have to wait just a little longer (oh, the suspense). I Thought i saw a picture of Amsterdam stage with the smaller side screens, like Madrid. Are they touring with two "Facias'"? Would make sense.
