YouTube Description
as posted by the channelU2 may have finally found what they’ve been looking for.
The beloved Irish rock band officially christened Sphere — a 20,000 capacity, $2.2 billion state-of-the-art venue from the Madison Square Garden Company — Friday night in Las Vegas. NY Post reporter Alex Mitchell shares this story.
For months now, it has snatched the world’s attention for its massive exterior that doubles as a video screen which quickly become a staple on the Sin City strip.
The term immersive doesn’t give this production its due justice.
Witnessing U2 perform their “Achtung Baby” album is surreal — like watching an elaborate music video, visual effects and all, with the band actually playing live. Some may even prefer watching the screens over the stage.
The visuals — like a rainbow-colored version of matrix-looking letters running from bottom to top of the whole arena — are “Dr. Strange-esque” in their dimensionality and ability to create a moving sensation that, when paired with excellent music, is euphoric, to say the least.
“Elvis has definitely not left this building,“ Bono told his sold-out crowd of 20,000 raving fans early into the performance, later calling Sphere and MSG owner James Dolan “one mad bastard” for coming up with the concept.
