exile Chances are they will be bringing that stage to Australia.

I hope it’s the North American stage, with that Guggenheim Museum look to it.

The South American stage was ok for them, but a little garish
19th March 2006 09:23 PM
VoodooChileInWOnderl I think it will be the one used in Latin America

I like

M.O.W.A.T. Probably a variation of the South American one, with an Oriental theme to it (instead of those green and hot pink flowers).

No I didnt mean its ugly. I just prefer the other one. Im sure on the night I wont care at all. I wonder why the two radically different designs?

The SA stage just looks like its a rushed stage design for some reason to me.

aw what am I compaining about. The stones are coming.

corgi37 Perfect timing for your post, Exile. I just rang Dainty's office here in Melb. 100% we are getting the Sth American stage. I think the Nth American one is more spectacular, but what the hell.

I'll be too close to care anyway.

Daethgod got ya SMS corgi

hoping the tix arrive this week

VoodooChileInWOnderl Yes it's a very simple stage with nothing special and no technology, really an improvised stage.

I was dissapointed as the price we paid was more expensive in actual dollars that many cities in the USA and we are in North Amercia so freight and duties are no significant because of the NAFTA. Just in Monterrey that it's 2-hour drive from Texas the gross sales were more than 9 million dollars. Someone in the Spanish board told me that he asked a guy in OCESA as he answered him that that stage was dismantled and disabled as the remaining shows in the USA will be in indoors arenas.

Daethgod to be honest I dont give a rats
me and Corgi and our crew are going to be so close that the band could play on a postage stamp and we will still be in the pit - Keiths side of course !

VoodooChileInWOnderl Exactly!

I attended the shows in Mexico City and Monterrey so close to the stage that I was watching the band and ocassionaly the stage or the screen

In Buenos Aires I was watching the stage and the screen on both shows. On the second I was veryu close to the b-stage, but when the stones arrived it was a complete riot

The sound was very good at the four shows so the stage is

It will be back for Europe.
20th March 2006 11:37 AM
VoodooChileInWOnderl Is that a wish or confirmed information? Just curious as the guy mentioned that the the on-stage building was dismantled and disabled and won't be used anymore but he was talking about the first leg of the tour so I'm not sure
20th March 2006 11:39 AM
glencar I'd like to see this S>American/Mexican/Asia?Antipodes stage in Euroland. It'd be different.

jb The Cheap stage.....................very smart move to maximize profits.
20th March 2006 02:21 PM
pdog on stage seating was a failure.
20th March 2006 10:25 PM
TomL I agree, we had them in Pittsburgh and after 2 minutes of SMU we complained and they took us to 15 row or so dead center. Much better. And they charged good money for those tix.

Soldatti I bet for an even cheaper version of the cheap stage.
