Behind The Scenes
THE 1993 EUROPEAN TOUR PRODUCTION
THE STAGES
The stage and set were designed by Phil Ealy and the band. Phil also designed the lighting of the show. The stage was 200' wide and 80' deep. The set, 75' high. 900 searchlights were used. The stage and set took three days to construct and a day to take down. Three separate stages were used in Europe, piggy-backing across the continent, so that each stage was utilised for every third show and at any one time, two or three steel structures would be standing at once in various venues.
HEAVY METAL
The band's travelling stages each weighed 50 tons. The total tonnage transported to each show was 150 tons including the band's equipment (which weighed seven tons) and the steel scaffolding.

THE P.A.
It took three tractor trailors to transport the enourmous PA system speaker cabinets at each site. In total, 200 speaker cabinets were used.

THE BUSES
Including those for the opening acts, there were eight crew buses travelling from show to show. Five of contained GN'R crew personnel.

THE TRUCKS
In total, 11 trucks were used to transport the equipment across Europe.

THE INSTRUMENTS
Slash travelled with 13 guitars, including a variety of Gibson Les Pauls, one of which was a double-neck. Duff used two Fender bass guitars. Gilby had a selection of Gibson guitars. Axl played a grand piano that rose up from beneath the stage during 'November Rain'. 60 microphones were used on stage during each show.

THE POWER
The show used 250,000 Watts of power for sound, ancillary puposes and to power the 900 lights illuminating the stage. It took two massive power generators to provid this power.

THE INFLATABLES
The inflatables erected during 'Welcome To The Jungle' were each 'operated' by four men.

THE VIDEO
The show used three Video Walls - one on either side of the stage (16' x 24') and one at the back (16' x 16'). Paul Becher was the man employed as video director for the European tour. It was his job to ensure the best coverage by switching between the pictures given by the four cameramen in his crew.

THE CREW
80 working personnel travelled with the band including management, six carpenters, 12 caterers, three site coordinators, one power technician and six video production crew. 60 people were needed to construct the stage. Throughout the entire world tour, the production was executed by a team headed by Dale (Opie) Skjereeth Production Manager. US trade magazine Performance honored the GN'R production team as 'Crew of the Year' for 1991.
