Bandit Lights Smashing Pumpkins’ World Tour

The band thrives on having a very intimate, personal look on stage. To achieve this, the lighting consists of an upstage trim of a mere 12ft arching to a downstage trim of just 20ft. There are no followspots and a plethora of back and side lighting, which produces many dramatic moments. With no production video on this leg, lighting has the pleasure of being the star of the show.
I've never heard the terms "upstage" and "downstage." Can someone explain those?

And...

"With no production video on this leg..."

I should hope we got all the boots aud/vid we possibly could for whatever "leg" of the tour he's talking about. This is the third leg we're on now, correct? Europe-->America-->Europe Again?

Edit: Sounds like he's talking about *this* European leg?
