howyousawtheworld · 17-08-2009, 02:15 PM

It looks awesome! The arena shows set was visually very unimpressive but that mo fo of a screen behind them is the dogs bollocks! Awesome screen!

Black Rose · 17-08-2009, 10:30 PM

Boring

strawberryswinger · 17-08-2009, 11:36 PM

you better go away to your U2 thread

flickahidalgo · 17-08-2009, 11:41 PM

Wow. That stage is waaaaayyyy bigger than the Raliegh one.

mrman78 · 17-08-2009, 11:51 PM

The giant LCD looks amazing!

Yeah, that stage is enormous.

But I love it! The screen in the back is wonderful, too! Love the effects.

Thats what I thought

milesahead89 · 18-08-2009, 12:03 AM

the entire top of the stage is lined with color blast lights. that's pretty awesome.

Malcolm-Edge · 18-08-2009, 02:04 AM

Its cool! But not as cool as their arena one was to the Arena. To me that worked great. If only they used a LED Screen and didnt rip off U2 completely.

Does anyone else think the show is like Zoo TV? Surely Kite will see where I'm coming from!

Dfit00 · 18-08-2009, 02:10 AM

They have two balls in there, aren't there supposed to be four balls?

The stage is bigger because the venues are now going to be stadiums instead of amphitheatres and indoor arenas.

It's nothing compared to Zoo TV, Zoo TV was just awesome, I would love to see Coldplay maybe head down the route of doing something amazing without ripping off U2
The new stage just seems to be a bit generic thats all, Not much going on, Ive been to many concerts in my life and alot of them had some fantastic set ups!

Malcolm-Edge · 18-08-2009, 09:14 PM

It has the ideas of Zoo TV. The main stage with two catwalks. One which they go out and preform on.

The TV on the stage. It just kinda stroke me and another U2 fan as Zoo TV meets an arena, meets Coldplay.

The going out into the audience thing is the best part of the tour though! As well most origonal. Some bands go out and play off on a stage in the audience on the floor. But never have I seen a stage in the middle of the stands.
