Phish @ the SPHERE (Las Vegas) April 18-21 * 2
    #28561857 - 11/30/23 08:54 AM (1 month, 28 days ago)



Oh man, my good friend introduced me to the Sphere a month or two ago.  Mind you, I'm not a big fan of Vegas, but the Sphere has drawn my attention since I love live music and immersive audio/visual experiences.  Clearly the Sphere attempts to marry the two, although leans heavily toward the latter, in a way almost minimizing the band on display (at least that's kinda how it seemed from the few clips of the inside shows that I've seen).  This might be what it takes to drag me back to that hedonistic energy suck in the desert known as Las Vegas.

Sure would love to see Phish rock the Sphere... but it just so happens I already bought my "Blind Faith" tickets to this year's Skull & Roses in Ventura that directly overlap the dates.  I suppose I could sacrifice Thursday night and Friday afternoon to fly into Vegas for the first night of the Phish Sphere experience, but that might be a little much.  Nevertheless, I did just put in my request for tickets on that first show!

Sounds like they intend to do more shows there in the future. I doubt I’ll be attending this although I am certainly intrigued (bicycle day at the Sphere with Phish damn!).

He’ll or high water I will be at the festival in Dover, that is my commitment.

Given the amount of work hours required to design a show for the Sphere's immense screen display*, I'd have to imagine they would want to return to continue to build out their production on such a unique system.  I've really enjoyed the effort Phish puts into their light shows, the latest dynamic moving light rigs are a total trip.  Can imagine the Sphere will be right up their crew's alley.

Nevertheless, to design an entirely new supplementary visual accompaniment, you'd have to imagine they wouldn't put in that level of work for a mere four shows.  Vegas is all about residencies, not that I'm expecting Phish to camp out there or anything.  It was apparently noted that there will be no additional Phish shows there during 2024, as I read a bunch of folks were expecting them to do a Halloween run there.

* [The Sphere's] interior 16K display (16000 x 16000 pixels - 256 million pixels in all), made by SACO Technologies – a specialist in LED video displays and lighting – was the real star; it is the highest resolution LED screen on Earth. The interior display measures 15,000 square-meters and has 1.2 million light modules each divided into 48 LED diodes. Each one is capable of displaying 256 million different colors.

Not a U2 fan (or hater), but they're the only ones that have been playing the Sphere.

These visuals are pretty crazy, hopefully this starts at the appropriate timestamp (6685 seconds or 1:51:25):

Thanks for sharing geokills. That is amazing. Imagine tripping balls in there.
