One of the later emerging pictures from the RAH concert dramatically shows how the drape location was changed to suit the open top stage there.
But the Manchester photo clearly shows that the long metal gantry that holds the numerous compliment of spotlights as well as being the usual
top fixing point for the drapes and constitutes a pretty big proportion of the items that fill the usual North American tractor trailer rig was also shipped to the UK either by sea or air freight not a cheap option I bet but presumably worth it to reduce the effort and time required to set up
at each of the many concerts on this tour.
