    Yes, terrible, at least during the encore they would go with a plain colored back drop..

    Those were my favorite of anything. From 93-2005 the large simple back drops that would change colors throughout the shows.

    During 2006 they made this half / height soccer goal looking colored back drop looking thing.

    Now it is kind of irrelevant as they sell the behind the stage seats and don't play amphitheaters anymore. For shows like Wrigley and Fenway I would love an old school 90's backdrop like that!!!

    I've always liked the sparse stage setups from the 1990s and earlier in the 2000s. When I first saw photos of the swinging "globe" lights and the more elaborate (by PJ's standards) setup of the last few years, I thought it was gimmicky. That said, I've never seen the latest stage design live. And I don't even know what the metal bird is.

    Here's a picture of the "Metal Bird"

    That shot just may be hanging on my bedroom wall! :smiley:

    I'm all good for change. Just hoping that they don't take a page from the FNM set that you talked about. Funeral flowers anyone? :rofl:

    The globe lights are plaaaaaayed out. I saw McCready smash one of the globes in Oslo...destroyed one with his guitar. Next day I was fortunate enough to bump into him on the streets. I asked him what happened and he said "Those things are really starting to piss me off." That was a few years ago already! Time for a change.

    Selfishly as I have 2nd level side stage tix for Philly 1, I'd love it if their setup was like Springsteen's which is basically nothing except some basic lights and a couple of large screens. Would give the upper side and back seats a better view. Beyond that selfish preference I'm pretty indifferent.

    Metallica just debut a new stage in San Francisco at AT&T Park the night before Super Bowl 50. No canapé or side obstructions. Only open stage and video behind. No globes. Maybe PJ can borrow.

    I hope! I have obstructed view seats from Ticketbastard for Ft Lauderdale on Stone's side . I hope they aren't too crappy.

    Or the rotisserie!

    Thanks to the person earlier in the thread for the "metal bird" pic. Quite the behemoth.
