>Metallica's latest live show uses the biggest PA system ever designed for a tour, made up of over 500 speakers and 192 audio inputs. The steel tower formation for their stage is so heavy and complicated that they need two sets of them: one to use in one venue, while the other is sent ahead to the next venue so work can begin on the load-in before the previous gig is over.

>Each of the two steel stages requires 21 trucks to transport it from city to city, meaning 42 trucks for the staging alone. The band and the rest of their set-up require a further 45, making 87 trucks in total.
