Here's a little thinking on stage and set design from a right up to date Amon Tobin stage set design back to Architects and designers Fisher Park who designed concert rigs for The Rolloing Stones and Pink Floyd.

The walking city above was an idea proposed by architect Ron Heron. The idea for the walking city concerns the mobility of large structures. In the 60's it was all theory and today it still is except in the world of big concert roadshow where armies of articulated trucks shift huge stage sets across continents.
From another angle modern concert set design has its historical routes in the nightime Son e Lumier shows from 1700's France where as the name suggests elaborate lighting shows (elaborate for the time) were combined with live music.
Below are the concept drawings and finished product for The Wall tour.
