The Poojer Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Saw clips of him dedicating half to Noel. That was awesome. Love that he's doing some oasis tunes. Ridiculous these 2 can't behave like adults and put out some more incredible music. Glad you got to see what looks like an amazing show 3 hours ago, BritBill said: Well Liam Gallagher was awsome.

Logic Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Just wanted to report on having seen Dead and Co for three consecutive nights at the Sphere. First of all, let me just say, I am NOT a fan of Las Vegas. I think I would have really loved the 1950s, mob-owned, Frank and Dean and Sammy, cocktail dresses and martinis and poker table Vegas. I do NOT love the 2024 Vegas, which I found to be little more than a sprawling, stinky, expensive, Disneyland/Times Square of a place, whose only goal seems to be to get you seated in front of a slot machine, hammered drunk, after spending $200+ on a dinner for two. Now that that's out of the way... The shows themselves were amazing. I can't even really put into words how cool The Sphere is. Just an all-encompassing, immersive, at times overwhelming technological marvel. At times, the experience was so novel and so cool and so interesting that all I could do was grin like an idiot and laugh like a schoolboy. Half of the videos I took feature me laughing maniacally in the background. The band played mostly well -- particularly on the third night -- and at the moment where they weren't playing as well, I was still so caught up in the spectacle of the graphics that I didn't mind as much. All the band members wore black on night one and did a night-long tribute to Bill Walton, complete with #32 stickers on their guitars, Walton stuff up on the video screen, and more. They played a few of his favorite tunes, including a Fire on the Mountain (his favorite Dead song) encore. Very glad I was there for that. The below videos are not my own, and are just taken from YouTube from other people, in order to give you a sense of what I was seeing. If you get a chance to go see a show at the Sphere, I highly recommend it. 5 1 Quote

The Poojer Posted June 4 Posted June 4 (edited) Logic, thanks for the info, @Mr Info, i will be there next Friday for sure, hoping to maybe get tix for Sat as well. I am in S109 R28 or S302 R13, still trying to decide if i want to be closer to stage with obscured view of the images or go for the full video effect in 302. @Logic feel free to send me PM if you have any recommendations, suggestions etc. I'm also not a vegas guy and would love to find things other than slots to occupy my time.

MAGNIFICENT VENUE After this years Bills home opener I really want my next family trip to be Las Vegas for a Sphere show. Family road trip biotches Mount UP 💃🏿 1 Quote

T&C Posted June 19 Author Posted June 19 For some reason this just doesn't seem like the record concert attendance to me: https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/george-strait-record-largest-concert/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR22sQHBNZG-eCRj8U1P_hzA4CIbWzW79FmWa6tSIL38NThzKkKB99mn7Oc_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw Quote

Draconator Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Looking forward to Friday. Taste of Country in Buffalo, Old Dominion headlining. Quote
PromoTheRobot Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I'm going to see Jon Anderson and the Band Geeks Saturday in Concord, NH. In fact I got to interview Jon for a show we air on our station here. The link is good until July 6. https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-wvhmm-1644f22 1 1 Quote

My recommendation for anyone going to a concert at the Sphere is to get seats in row 1 of any section in any level. If you get tix to see Dead & Co, there is Shakedown Street (amazing # of 3rd party vendors) at The Tuscany Resort and “Dead Forever Experience” at the Venetian Resort. Check the latter before the show and you can walk inside between the Venetian and the Sphere. Will also be seeing the last Goose show of this tour in New Haven on June 29. 1 1 Quote

stuvian Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Saw Nick Lowe and Ron Sexsmith on Tuesday. Pretty mellow all acoustic sets. Quote

Just Jack Posted June 21 Posted June 21 What are your thoughts on cover bands? There is a Supertramp cover band coming through my area, and as seeing they have not toured in years, and it's a group I would want to see, I'm considering going. Quote
stuvian Posted June 23 Posted June 23 just came from George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. Very strong set and a kickass version of Maggot brain 1 2 Quote
The Poojer Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Going to Goose on Friday at the Mann in Philly. Agree with your Sphere recommendations. Really well run for the Dead shows, and holy F*** what an experience On 6/19/2024 at 10:34 PM, Mr Info said: It was an amazing experience.
