The Rolling Stones Tour of the Americas 1975- The Lotus Stage
When the Rolling Stones hit the United States after a 3 year absence in 1975 they brought in tow a very impressive stage, which at the time was the largest and most expensive production to tour arenas costing .6 million.(Reference) It was also the first tour to feature PA and lighting systems that were entirely rigged from the ceiling with no support towers being used as opposed to the bukly PA systems that would sit on either side of the stage.(see photo) This enabled every single seat to have a clear view of the stage. Originally the plan was to play in the center of the arenas but according to Mick Jagger, there were to many sound problems and they didn't have enough time to fix them before the tour started. (Reference) U2's Bono, who with U2 have staged some of rocks most important tours has sited the Lotus Flower stage from this tour as an inspiration.
