Yes, 1997's Bridges tour was the first time the Stones used it, and as far as who thought of it, usually Mick and Charlie design the stages and make the decisions as to what the set-up will be and look like, so my guess it was those 2 who thought of it. |

Right, it was supposed to be part of the "Bridges To Babylon" theme, a bridge out to the crowd and do a set of 3 songs close to the crowd. It carried over to no Security, Licks and the current Bigger Bang tour. |

ACTUALLY, the first time they did the satellite stage bit was on the Voodoo Lounge pay-per-view from Miami. It kind of left the main stage and drifted around the audience while they played "Sweet Virginia" (I think that's what they were playing)and then returned. It actually looked kind of stupid, but thank goodness they kept working on it. It's been a cool part of every show since.
I think they did get the idea from U2, just like the Super Bowl stage, but screw those wankers. |

Yep, they did that for the Voodoo Tour, but as far as the concept for a b-stage what we know it today was started during the Babylon tour. And yes, thankfully they did work on it after that Miami show!! |

Someone correctly named U2 as starting it. They used the B Stage first on their Zoo TV tour, for the stadium shows at least. This was 92/93. |

Me too! I heard on the radio today that Carly got paid WAY too much when they gave her the heave-ho!
They mentioned that she loves "puss-puss" too! |

" Paris Hilton Hit With Restraining Order "
" LOS ANGELES — A court commissioner has signed off on an unusual restraining order against celebutante Paris Hilton, ordering her to stay at least 100 yards away from an event producer who claimed she threatened him — unless they're at a party together.
Brian Quintana was granted the three-year restraining order against Hilton last month after he testified that the celebutante harassed and threatened him after their friendship soured.
Because Quintana, 37, and Hilton, 25, occasionally attend the same social events, their attorneys drafted an untraditional restraining order that was approved by Superior Court Commissioner Tim Murphy on Monday.
The agreement stipulates that when they attend the same parties, "the stay-away distance may be shortened to 25 feet," according to court papers.
Hilton spokesman Elliot Mintz has said his client wants nothing to do with Quintana and is happy to keep her distance from him.
Quintana testified that he met Hilton on the party circuit a few years ago and later introduced her to future boyfriend Stavros Niarchos III.
Quintana said their relationship soured after he urged Niarchos to reconsider dating Hilton. "

Correct. Jagger also attended the U2 show in Dublin in August 1993 when the band were working on Voodoo Lounge there. Theyve used the same stage designers and production crew over the years, so have frequently adapted ideas from each other. As FPM correctly states, the first Stones show to use it was the Miami PPV show on 25.11.94, although it wasnt used as a part of the Stones tour show until 1997.
However, I read a while back that Bryan Adams - of all people - had used a B-stage on his shows a few years prior to U2 doing so. |

I also seem to remember bands (Aerosmith comes to mind) that used a "Lawn Stage" at outdoor ampitheater venues, but I don't know how long ago that was...perhaps I can check into it and see. The stones didnt invent this idea by anymeans, but the do manage to keep it fresh each time they use it and it is a novel gimmick. |
