It is an interesting bit of history. It sure took a lot of work, and money too. nt abqtommy Apr 2022 #2

The work that goes into these sets is quite remarkable..... and it has to be built, not just once, but at every venue.

‘We created three sets of the primary steelwork, which “leapfrogged” each other between different locations on the tour. This allowed the band to keep up with the many dates and before one concert ended the stage for the next date was already being constructed.
