i can only speak for the first Amsterdam show, since that's the only show where i was sitting on the side, so could see backstage and band members coming and going onto and off the stage.

there, John was not helped to or off the stage any more than other band members (including Neale, Brett, etc). they were all escorted onto the stage one by one, each held by the hand by a member of the staff, i guess so they don't trip in the dark. you could see Mick, John, Stevie, Lindsey and others being each escorted up separately. when they were up on the stage about to come out they were let go and assumed the formation we all normally see - Mick coming out first, Stevie and Lindsey holding hands, etc. so John didn't seem to be treated any different than others, at that show in Europe i saw.
