And one from even higher up the hill. This is pretty much the highest point on the whole site - you can see right over the Ribbon Tower from up here:

I think I can see myself Jamie..... explains the lack of pyro during the set if they allowed you to stand at the back :P

Haha... Yeah it was a pretty stripped down show for them. Although they didn't have pyro for the whole Euro tour that year, but I was surprised they didn't have the lasers.

I'm sure they had some lazers... might have just been posh lights... ahhh didn't they? maybe they've blown the pyro budget in previous tours :sarcastic:

Haha, I reckon it was the Through the Never shows that blew that budget! Ah I think they did during One, just not as elaborate as normal. I did hear that there may have been fault with the pyro during tests before the first show of the tour so they cancelled it all, but it was most likely because they were having extra people standing side of stage that tour (meet and greet winners and plus ones).

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
