Big Screens European Tour

in Given To Fly (live)
I think a big shout out is required to whoever was involved in the footage shown on the big screens each side of the stage on the European tour that has just finished.

Obviously these are generally used so that people at the back of the venue can get a good view of what is happening up front.

But in my opinion, on this tour, they went to a whole new level. I was fortunate enough to have an excellent view at Leeds, but my eye was occasionally drawn to the big screens. The footage shown was amazing. For a live show, it was akin to a professionally edited DVD. To see Mike, looking up at him from the floor of the stage, foot on pedals was amazing. Or Matt, pounding away from various angles.


Stunning stuff. Every credit to all involved.

    Yes, amazing footage. Loved the slow panning and interesting camera angles especially during slower songs in Stockholm. Too bad Berlin did not have the screens

    Know what you mean. At the front at MK but sometimes drawn to the screens as the shots were so interesting
    Happy up here in my tree

    Yeah. Guess they should go ahead and release a DVD of every show right now. ;)

    Those camera guys are awesome. They all have setlists, so they aren't just shooting blindly, they know what to look for at each point during the show.

    A dvd/bluray would be heaven. (Please, it was such an amazing tour!)

    I managed to miss out on what was going on on the screens since I was in the second row in front of the stage, checking out the screens would have been looking in the wrong direction. I am in no way complaining, I had a mindblowing show – with complimentary wine from Eddie, just saying that I was surprised when checking out other people's vids after the show: the footage on the screens was something else! Big ups to the camera men.

    Once again I am so happy to happen to love a band that goes above and beyond to give their fans a great experience. :x

    I've been saying it for years!

    They could easily make them official bootlegs to be downloaded. They wouldn't even need to physically produce discs.

    I would love to have the show to watch after. I forget so much as I get so caught up in it all!
