This is the right stage:

This one had the biggest hd screen of bj history.
Even worse, this 'minor' stage thing - never understood why they dare to set up a 'minor' stage when being in a full tour but I guess I can make the reasoning. While most big bands use 3 stages (Madonna even 4 because so hard to set up) BJ probably had 2 stages in Europe + a 3rd minor (standard) thing. Because the show in Zeebrugge (Belgium) was the only in the benelux - and thus not very ideal in terms of routing, they probably figured that this dull thing would do. Not exactly a way to impress the crowd that is coming to see the 'only show' in the benelux + france that year.

Can you imagine U2 setting up a sort of mini claw?

And it was not like the ticketprices were minor or so.

No complaints on the level of energy and enthusiasm the band put in this show. I do have complaints on the lame lame lame crowd. If they had been more energetic, the setlist would have gotten 2 more songs i guess. (but ok, this is way off-topic)
