I still couldnt wrap my head around what I had seen.
I’m so lucky I got to go last night and experience it.
It was truly unlike anything Ive ever seen or heard before.
I couldnt believe it.
I was actually going to get to go.
It starts in The Venetian, where the U2 UV experience, dubbed Zoo Station is located.
Theyve also got an incredible bar setup.
And tons of bartenders.
It felt like we were in Banes prison in Batman.
Or there was some poor bird stuck inside since construction flying around?
Honestly, its that incredible.
The developed and constructed 1.2 million LED pucks each with 43 bulbs all displaying 16K resolution!
I couldnt tell if this was another optical illusion or not.
It plays tricks on you.
Easily one of the coolest things Ive ever seen.
As the balloon sways around in the sky, so does the rope.
It was really cool.
Which is pretty crazy considering everything going on at the moment.
He was very self deprecating throughout the show.
Perhaps a late inning realization of self awareness?
Whatever the case, he was awesome to listen to, and sounded incredible.
His voice was in perfect pitch, and booming.
You could tell its been well rested.
And speaking of the sound, I dont think I can put into words how this space sounds.
I thought Dolby Atmos was a game changer.
I didnt think anything could beat the natural acoustics of Red Rocks.
I never knew something could sound like The Sphere sounds.
I was told there are over 160,000 individual speakers in this place.
It sounded like it was a private concert for 1,000 people.
But then you remember, and look around you and realize youre in a space with 17,000 other people.
Theres really nothing like it.
This tour highlights the Achtung Baby album, and they play the entire tracklist.
Theres a small encore where they come back out and do a handful of their greatest hits.
In summation, I like U2 a lot but Im not a super fan by any means.
They extended their run through December so theres plenty of time.
But its really a must do.
Even if youre a regular fan, I highly recommend catching this show.
Theres simply nothing else like it.
Or anything that even comes close.
Elvis, cymbal banging monkeys, babies, Julia Child, more Elvis, on and on and on.
It was a mind fuck and a half.
Rumor is Rolling Stones are next up residency wise, or in the near future.
