Technical details to "The Division Bell" tour

[TheMoebLoop]

Found an in-depth article on the making of what I still consider to be the apex of stadium concerts, in terms of visuals (which is perhaps faint praise, but I really mean it when I say that this stage show has haunted dreams of mine ever since I was a child): the construction to the "Division Bell" tour.

I think it really puts the human scale of the event into perspective.

Forgot to say that, in case anyone has any more pictures or videos from the setting up or other behind the scenes subjects of this legendary stage, I, for one, would love to see them! I'm particularly interested in the "disguising" of Mr. Screen.

I used to own the blueprints for the Milwaukee stage setup.

Used to? Blimey, if only one could take a look at it today.

Sorry, they were from the AMLOR tour. I sold them many years ago. There were at least 6 blueprints for various aspects of the stage including the mirror ball. Someone on the local stage crew gave them to me as a gift.

I don’t suppose any scans of these blueprints were made?

Blueprints were way too big to scan but I may have photos buried somewhere.

I’d be interested in having a look if you happen upon them at some point.

What a gift - if only, if only. But I understand, things come and go. Keep us in mind and please let us know if you find the pictures; even if AMLOR, which I don't really like, it'd be great to have a feel for what it took to put it together.

Found this interesting document, thanks to ruben77. The reading, as opposed to the article I first linked to, is very boring, but it is another look into the titanic arrangements needed for any single performance from the "Division Bell" tour.
