I've been watching Arcade Fires tour with the stage in the middle of the arena. It looked fantastic.  Could this work for pearl jam I wonder. Maybe a theme for the layout. 

i wish i wish i wish i wish, i guess it never stops

    I would like that!

    Metallica has done it too and I thought that was great.

    Would be pretty badass if the pit was 360 degrees around the stage though
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    "In the round" is cheesy. PJ is not cheesy.

    I saw Yes and ELO in the round, probably a couple more bands that I don't recall. That was a big thing when I was first going to concerts. 

    I haven't seen anyone do that in a long long time, though.

    You could never do GA in the round.

    In the round is very important.

    Imagine the complaints. Qued from the night before, in first to get on the rail. Band come on stage to realise they are behind the stage.

    Tell that to all the bands currently doing it.  It actually makes GA less problematic 
    His eminence has yet to show.

    Yep!

    The band moves around to different parts of the stage so you'd get to interact with a different band member during the course of the show.

    The idea is good - more people get close and stuff. The problem is that it turns a bit gimmicky live. Like Metallica - with 20 different mics James walks around too and the drum set being rotated. He landed right in front of me for Unforgiven though  :o

    But the basic idea is cool. And as long as it doesn't turn into specially constructed lights to swing on - I'm cool with it.

    Are we talking a stage that rotates or just a round stage in the middle of the arena?   The rotating stage might be cheesy.  A fixed stage is not. 

    The last three times I’ve seen U2 they have had a regular stage at the end of the arena where they play most of the show but they also have a walkway down the middle of the arena to a small round stage towards the back of the floor.  They do a good job of moving back and forth and it creates a ton more rail space for people on the floor.
