Jeez louise, fine wait to see it for yourselves then. Standing on the floor for an entire show really gives you a good idea of what the stage looks like though, wouldnt ya think?
True they could change things, but the stage isnt some super robotic fantastic aberration. Its Elevation with new lighting and oval rather than heart.

Why change something that was awesome last time around...
98% of shows have the same stage: rectangle at one end of the arena.
The options for having a stage that is logistically possible, easy to light up, where everyone in the arena will able to see well, where the band can be comfortable and see each other well while playing, and where close access to the audience is maximize, are very limited.
Most of the visuals of the show come from the lights and any video device or led screens they might have. The stage itself is not such a big deal.
I loved the Elevation set-up, and I have no problem with them re-using a winning concept.

I loved the Elevation stage also, so I like this one from what I see. As someone else remarked it does look very clean and modern. Can't wait to see more!

I have a feeling the light effects, strobes and whatnot will be crazy.

this OVAL seems to be much lower than the elevation heart, much closer to the fans, and the same goes for the actual stage ... at least it seems this way from the vertiblog pics
If you have people sitting behind the stage, then the options of design are very limited. The Unforgettable Fire tour and Joshua Tree tour had very similar stages, plain with clean views, just different lighting. Just like Elevation and Bomb have. The only way to radically change the stage is to have no rear-view seats.

I wouldn't worry too much just yet. It may be different for your arena/stadium. Plus these pictures aren't too clear, so don't panic!

Ain't no reason to panic over anything. First off I've said it here that I love being around the back corner of the stage, behind the stage. Second being in the fifth row of the 200 level in Philly, back corner on Edge's side, I'm surprised at how much better my view seems to have gotten judging by these pictures. Being where we are, I'm ecstatic!

I'm really pumped about these pictures. I think those who have above-ground seating are in for an optical treat. I'm not sure how the production will look for those of us with GA tix. Nonetheless, I'm very excited about this. I think we are going to have some very happy fans bombard this forum late tonight/early tomorrow.

No attitude is cool! Beeotch
It was a dress rehearsal, where the band come out and basically put on the same show they're going to be putting on for months. A dress rehearsal is hardly the same as a plain ole rehearsal.
I highly doubt the stage would be remarkably different from Sat night when Sat was the night to test shit for glitches etc.
There is no room for major changes. Its Elevation with new lighting and an oval catwalk.
Im not dismaying that stage design, it worked great on Elevation but going in there I was expecting something totally different from Elevation not totally similar.

i thought maybe "the captain" was some cybernetic robot who was posting the pics
Turn it up Captain! -- it's just a reference to the opening of Veritgo. A blogname, if youwill...
