Sphere Show #1 Setlist Party

[clerks]

They forgot to use the screens so far...

 

[trevgreg]

Where are the immersive visuals? It looks like they’re utilizing about 5% of the available pixel supply.

Willie Williams said they wouldn’t be utilizing the screen in the Variety interview…

How sore will everyone’s necks be, with that six-story-tall screen? “I think the movie (‘Postcard From Earth’) probably will have more of an issue with that than the U2 show, because we don’t feel obliged to use the whole thing all the time. There are periods, as always with the U2 show, where we just leave the band and the music to connect with the audience. So there’s definitely relief from the overkill in the show. Obviously we want to maximize the experience, and because we’re first in there, we want to claim the territory and just see what this thing can do, But it doesn’t matter. In anything — even if it’s the most spectacular thing you’ve ever seen in your life — after half an hour, you get used to it. That’s just the way we humans are.”

Did Bono just say that they're gonna rotate songs from different albums in that section?

I didn’t hear that part, but I started to wonder that once they played the third one from Rattle and Hum.

 

[DaveC]

Sounding excellent. Bram seems to know the drill.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

[clerks]

Bram is like viagra for the band.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

the Acrobat visuals on the stage are pretty wild

 

[fullautoreverse]

Acrobat

 

[fullautoreverse]

Is the screen broken? Edit: it’s back.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

Ultraviolet it is. gonna guess they wrap up the set with Love is Blindness, but wish they'd save it for the end

How am I going to survive this show? What a dream.

 

[david]

Acrobat broke the screen. That’s the power of rock and roll.

 

[clerks]

Is the screen broken?

You think thye would at least just have the band on there the whole time... i knew it would like this... music A plus... sound A plus... visuals OKAY

Besides the 360 visuals of this song were unbeatable...

 

[trevgreg]

Not a bad idea to have that mini-album set in the middle of the Achtung ones. This could work out well for the residency.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

I'm sorry but if they don't tour this....

 

[DaveC]

the screen is broken??

please explain for us who aren't watching the video

 

[Tommy WM]

I'm sure James Dolan is already wanting them to extend into next year.
