That depends entirely on what kind of Wednesday night you're lookin to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHillFan Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It’s really cool. Great sound and you can still talk to the person next to you. During “Atomic City” they put up a street scene of LV that includes the street directly adjacent to Sphere with all the same signage. It took me a minute to figure out if it was a real-time video of the street outside. Incredibly real including a plane flying in up in the top left of the dome. Finally I noticed no pedestrians. Bottom line - really cool. Band sounded good, not great. Setlist 💯. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted February 7 Author Share Posted February 7 Just now, The Poojer said: Got my tix for Dead & Company for the sphere. Can't wait Just curious: Which shows are you going to? Did you get the tickets through pre-sale and, if so, how was your experience? In my case, there were three of us, all trying on different devices, for tickets. Each of us picked a date. Even though we were all in the queue quite early, I was the only one who got tickets. My two friends were shut out. I was able to circle back an hour later when they dropped additional (more expensive) tickets and get a second date. We're in for May 30th (200s section, great seats) and May 31st (awful seats in the 400s, but much cheaper). You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkFast Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Logic said: The Dead have definitely always been the quintessential "just go out and play" band, with very little "show" at their concerts, other than the liquid light shows in the ballrooms in the late 60s in San Francisco. Ever since then, they've been about as anti "show" as a band can get. If you know about the audience of the Dead, though, you know that they tend to enjoy imbibing certain recreational and botanical substances that would make something like a three dimensional immersive 4K sphere rather...interesting? Terrifying? Life-changing? Not sure the right word. Hokey light shows don't really appeal to me either, but if you've taken a peak at the stuff U2 did at their show at the Sphere, it's certainly far beyond a light show. Futhermore, I've seen Dead and Co a bunch in recent years, and save for John Mayer, they really aren't much to look at Most of the time at Dead concerts, I experience much of the show with my eyes closed. This'll be the first time in a while that I (and my mycologically enhanced brain) will be doing some watching. Can't wait to see what they have in store. And lastly...Yes. Prices for this residency are/were outrageous. I don't blame anyone who doesn't wanna shell out this kind of cash. Highway robbery. I'm gonna take in two shows (maybe three) and make a weekend of it with my Deadhead pod of friends. The circus that is 20,000 Deadheads descending on the circus that is Vegas. Gonna be a hoot. Oh...believe me I get it. Thats what we do "space" for!!! Just not feeling it, myself. Im sure it will be a real good time for those who go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I had a very 'pleasant' experience with the presale, got into the waiting room about 10 minutes prior, the queue while a bit slow only was about 45 minutes for me. Picked a couple seats and checked out. Decided to try and get back into the queue and it was less than a minute. tried picking a few choices but they disappeared, just kept trying and wound up with a second pair. I absolutely love the all in pricing aspect. $295 tickets were $295 not $295 plus fees. I saw the breakdown after the purchase but i love that all in price point(blissful ignorance i suppose) I got back half sec 109 and 302 if i recall correctly.

Didn't even tune their instruments. Gerry Garcia couldn't carry a tune with a five-gallon bucket. Awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
