4k - U2 Sphere - Even Better Than the Real Thing - Las Vegas - 12/8/2023

Video shot using my Samsung Phone. This is raw phone video and audio. This is a preview of a future release.

We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to see U2 at the Sphere. As concert enthusiasts and with U2 being my wife's favorite band, we had to do everything in our power to get to a show. Thankfully, her many years of fan club membership allowed us to get tickets.

The venue lived up to my expectations. The audio and visual experience cannot be matched for a 15,000+ seat venue. That said, I would not want to see every concert the rest of my life at the Sphere. I do prefer some intimacy with musicians. I do not need all the other distractions.

I would relate a Sphere show with seeing your favorite sports team in a winner take all championship game at the most state of the art stadium (or best destination city) that sport can play at. Its probably a once in a lifetime event.

If one of your favorite bands ever does a gig at the Sphere and you are able to attend, do your best to get there. Especially if the show contains a specially produced video component just for the Sphere.
