They are using the full bigger bang stage but there will be NO onstage seating this time. The rio stage wasn't made for touring,just a few one offs. It doesn't hold up too well being moved around all the time apparently

They are using the same stage as last year but with no onstage seating. My friend on the crew told me

There is NO onstage seating, heard it from the crew. more than happy to put money on it.

There will be NO onstage seating this summer.

They are using the full stadium stage with no onstage tickets this time. O2 will be the arena stage used in the US. The Bergen stage was just the arena stage under a roof and the South America stage was just the regular stadium stage infront of a different backdrop.

If only you knew the real Bono your hero worship might stop. The band don't change the setlist much and use plenty of behind the scenes people to create the sound your talking about. They go through the motions just like the stones.
Forum: Tell Me

The touring crew are hired by the production manager (Opie) on the stones tour. He is hired by the band and after he is given a budjet from micheal cohl and a design from mark fisher hires carpenters to build the set (14 on this tour) Riggers to hang the motors (4 on this tour) a lighting and sound company PRG and Claire Brothers in this case to provide their services ( who provide their own pers

The stage in Seattle,El Paso and Phoenix was moved way forward so that they played to a much smaller stadium than they would normally.

I'm trying to figure out why the hell they have to postpone LA show? Just few days later. Because they are playing in AC the day before? It's arena show and LA is teh stadium differrent stages, and ven if AC was a stadium than they still have more than one stage they are using. Playing a show one day by another is not possible? Maybe it's what they have in their contract? I mean po

Honolulu is cancelled LA is now in the Honolulu date. Just heard from a member of the stones crew.

Its funny to read all this crap you guys write when over on the dave matthews band board their fans can't believe dave would waste his time on a bunch of washed has beens that haven't been able to play well for about 25 years.
Forum: Tell Me

The stones could learn a lot from Dave Matthews Band. Like how to play!!!!!!!!
Forum: Tell Me

I've been to many of the shows. no doubt more than you. Just pointing out that they sold less than 20,000 tickets for each of the next three shows.
Forum: Tell Me

They have barely sold enough tickets to play one show at the United centre. Huge sections of the stadium have been covered in blacks with the Stones logo on. Same for Seattle and El Paso.
Forum: Tell Me

At sound check today they ran through the show opening and the b-stage move. The song they played as the intro video ended was paint it black.
Forum: Tell Me

The First song tonight will be paint it black.

Just back from Foxboro it s the tongue stage from the Superbowl Yee haa. I am trying to upload the pictures know. Thats Bullshit!!!!!

The edge! oh pleaseeeee. Take away his effects pedal board and then see what he can do. dave matthews or john mayer would blow him away. Hell charlie burchill of simple minds is twice the guitar player he is.
Forum: Tell Me

Just wanted to say Simple Minds did an amazing job opening for the boys in Stuttgart. Jim kerr went all the way out to the B stage during one of their songs and really got the crowd going. Its easy to see how they used to fill stadiums themselves. Easily the best opening act of the tour.

"he messed up the begginings of brown sugar, paint it black, don't know what to do during let's spend the night together.... sad." Nothing new there. He always screws up a few songs

Forum: Tell Me

I cannot confirm my information with any pictures as I am not in Europe. However I have yet to see any pictures from anyone else of what they claim to be the Stones stage. I doubt most people can tell the difference between different bare steel systems. The Robbie stage is only slightly smaller that the stones stage.
Forum: Tell Me

The Stones don't own the steel. Stageco does, the Stones rent it from them. Most of the pieces that make up the stage are generic and will fit any of the other systems that they build.
Forum: Tell Me

Hate to inform you all but the stageco stage in werchter is for the Robbie Williams tour.
