    Best stage decor on a live set

    Have we done this?

    I'm a sucker for Iron Maiden live and even though the record itself wasn't their best, Powerslave was brilliant!



    1984, I was a young teen, maybe it's why.

    Fair do's to them, they used to do it in style

    Was this scene a (partial) nod to them?

            Oh, I am quite happy for yours to flourish. It is a subject that deserves exploring more. Indeed, I feel there should be some academic research on this, maybe a professorship.

              At the rem concert in marley park in 2003 the stage decoration consisted of three giant pictures of stipe, mills and buck, and it looked exactly like me, garcia and garcia's flatmate. It didn't go unnoticed in the crowd.

                  What were you doing at an rem/REM/R.E.M concert? Did you go there for a planned multi-suicide?

                        Clever guess. I'm not giving it away, but you had an earlier thread of top movies ---this is a top movie.

                          If it's Spinal Tap, I hate that movie and refuse to remember even a scene.

                            Sorry to read you didn't like it.

                            In the summer of 1984 I drove to Tulsa, over a hundred miles away, along with two roommates to see it the week of release. We were the only three there and at first it was weird to only hear ourselves laughing. Watched it a few yrs ago and still love it.

                            I'd read some publicity of the film, but had no listen of any of the songs before seeing the film. The Stonehenge scene was and still is brilliant.

                              How can anyone not like This is Spinal Tap? That's madness.

                                Spinal Tap is fantastic, but I guess Tap has the same effect on PPV as Ferris Buellers Day Off does on me. There are some things in life that really make your piss itch.

                                    I didn't think that spinal tap was that amazing, however that was because by the time I managed to see it, people had told me all the jokes, which is a real problem for that kind of movie. That said the scene linked above made me piss myself laughing.

                                      I think it was Black Sabbath, who had a Stonehenge too big for many venues.

                                      Iron Maiden reran their Maiden England tour recently, the stage set was based on the cover for Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, as was the set list, barring a couple of fan favourite s from later times. Awesome!

                                        I'd love to have seen Parliament Funkadelic live, in their pomp, with the full-on costumes and giant spaceship.

                                          Although of a very different ilk, some of Numan's early stage sets were quite impressive:

                                          -


                                          -

                                          I tried to find a pic where it's all more 'lit up', but I couldn't, strangely.
