I was just on the Stonesdoug Board, and I read the Stones have scrapped the use of cherry pickers and other gadgets to bring the band closer to the fans, because they are too expensive(??????). While I don't think the cherry pickers and such are necessary, I hope the Stadium stage is their best to date (personally, I liked Voodoo Lounge better than B2B, other than the b-stage).
Since they're concerned about going over budget, any chance Mick will run around the audience in lieu of the cherry picker (a la let me go '81). I doubt it at this juncture, but it would be a hoot.
40 days and counting,

That's too bad -- the idea of a new stage design would have separated this tour from B2B and NS in that regard -- going back to the B stage, while still good, does not dispel that "same old show" stigma.

I don't know about all of that , but one thing is for certain -- Mick Taylor had better join the boys on stage or else I will be keeping my distance from this tour .

I don't think anything beats the Cherry picker in 81..if you were on the field , it came over you like a giant bird with Mick sticking his foot out ...very cool. |

Uh, Josh, there was a little gadget called The Lotus Stage.
THAT my friend was the best gadget!
I don't mean to sound confrontational about it actually...
I'm sorry.
That's just my opinion. Not fact at all.

No doubt, the lotus was great....but that was for indoor shows....I was referring to outdoor shows...I guess the Bridge was pretty good also...but the Cherry Picker kind of epitomized the 81 tour for me...

They should borrow a page from Letterman's book...Nothing brings you closer to the audience than "Monkey Cam"...Hey, if Mick Taylor needs work, there you go...Strap an 8mm beta cam to Taylor's head, wind him up, and let em go!..."Monkey Man Cam"...has a nice ring to it, does it not? |

You joke, but I think there might be something to this monkey man cam. |
