U2 at the SPHERE in Las Vegas

I have long doubted to go to see this show in Las Vegas. I’ve lost a bit my interest in U2 the last decade, was not happy with their musical output. But I am a die-hard fan from the very beginning when they launched their album BOY.

All the stories about the venue, and the good reviews of the show made me decide to go for it. And I didn’t regret it!

The organization ( VIBEE ) had made a fan exposition the Venetian Hotel with a fan shop, a cinema where live clips of U2 were shown, and some interactive games.Well done!

The venue. It’s an enormous bowl with video projections all around you. It’s as if you are in the desert, then in the streets of Las Vegas, and then in the middle of a Rock Concert.Mind blowing images and effects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

But we came for the music, right?Well I have to admit that the U2 show was excellent…great sound, great setlist.( they played ACHTUNG BABY in its entirety )Bono was in great VOX.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And there was this Dutch drummer from Tilburg replacing Larry Mullen jr., who told the public ( in Dutch )  that he couldn’t manage to get tickets for his brother who was present at the show…funny..

 

The whole thing was worth the trip, something very special as never seen before.

Enjoy the pictures and clips.
