V-U2 at The Sphere

January 31, 2025

Show time! For those who don't know, The Sphere has its own camera system for recording videos and sound, then playing them in an immersive live-like environment. One of the things they recorded was a concert by U2 on Feb 23rd, Feb 24th, and March 1st, 2024. We saw the video on January 31, 2025. So, no, they weren't there... but it was darn convincing at times! Sometimes, the audience even clapped after a song. You would see people start to clap, remember it was a video, and then hold their hands like they were stretching or something. *grin* Very enjoyable!

There is a hallway between The Venetian and The Sphere, so we were able to walk over:

Up close, you can see that the outside of the sphere is not a solid screen:

Inside The Sphere, before the show. It was hard to captrure the size of the theater. The speakers are all behind the panels so sound comes from everywhere.

When I texted my brother videos from the U2 show at the sphere, he said "Wait, they aren't there?" It is that good. Absolutely enamored with the technology.

Apologies... your videographer didn't realize she was watching the deconstruction of Las Vegas from a city to an empty desert, so I pan to other things while that is going on. You still see parts of it.
