"Mehhh...the show can only be okay at best. I mean, no matter what, it still isn't an east coast show."

- Also McGruff10 (probably) 

This would be true

Up front may not be the best spot anymore… Imagine waiting 24 hrs in line only to sit in the middle of the stands. 

You nailed it.
I for one am not seeing Pearl Jam to look at screens. I have no interest in a sphere PJ show. To each their own. 

I think it would be a fantastic spectacle as a one off. But yes the whole appeal of this band is their energy and output on stage, that will always take our full attention. If we are stood staring at the walls and roof then there's perhaps something a little wrong. 

I guess its the overall experience of the venue that would be immersive even if we are 99% of the time watching the band. It looks such a visually stimulating environment with full on sensory overload appeal.

Those who haven't seen a Sphere show do not know what they're talking about. I did 2 in seats abd 3 in GA and each were fantastic. You need to see the graphics from the seats at least one time to appreciate

No Sphere. This year, at least. The band as a whole is down for a residency of SOME sort, and Ed loves The Sphere. The others? Not so much😅 Seattle more likely (when the time comes).

I would imagine it would be a thing similar to what Metallica has been doing when they come to your town. A pop-up shop, if not the truck expanded. Ticketed interviews & conversations with band members at local shops/rented spaces. Restaurants & bars with themed food & drinks. A movie screening ala "Matter of Time" and/or a new updated version of PJ20.

Seattle could also involve MoPop, and do a fresh take on their recent PJ exhibit.

Two or three shows, and the whole things takes place over the course of a week.

Any other shows, or a tour not likely til fall '26, or spring '27.

I’m *fairly* certain I was at the U2 show at The Sphere that Eddie was at … it was U2’s third show (Oct. 5, 2023), and at some point Bono said, “Eddie Vedder is my Elvis.” And whole bunch of people started screaming and looking up to the suites. I tried to zoom in in that general direction for a pic, but failed to capture anything (anyone) of note. 😄😄😄😄 It is a crazy cool venue if the team has the proper graphics. I would see PJ there in a heartbeat. 

I was at the show where Ed and Jill were there. Saw 5 U2 Sphere shows. The Sphere is booked through Eagles in early Nov

Everything about that show was GORGEOUS. Absolutely stunning.

Vegas is underrated as a music destination.  I have zero interest in gambling and am not fond of the spectacle but in terms of concentrated and variety of music it’s hard to beat. Between residencies and tour acts there is a lot to offer. I hit U2, Billy Idol and Adele over three nights. I’d definitely do PJ at the Sphere with the added bonus of probably seeing some else.

I have seen a Sphere show and stand by my earlier assessment.

No, I know what I’m about! Thank you though. 

I don’t care to see PJ there. There are a hundred bands I would love to see there. Just PJ isn’t one of them and that’s ok. Would be one less ticket entry for you all to compete with.

3 U2 Sphere shows here, 1 Dead & Co., and 1 Eagles.

U2 was still the best imo, Eagles 2nd, Dead & Co. 3rd

People concentrate too much on the Sphere’s visual aspects. Sonically it’s one the best venues in the world for its size.

Crazy thing is the screen aspect is cool, but the best and most impressive part of it is the sound! Sounds great and not a bad seat in the house. Only venue where the 200-300’s are the best seats in the house

Las Vegas is really cool as far as I'm concerned. Saw a free STP street concert there (Fremont) in November 2022, and it was great!

Since the newsletter provided no info, is there anyone here who might?

Are Seattle and Portland in the mix?
Any shows the first, say, 10 days of October, especially the 7th? 😉

Hot Take:

PJ20 should have been held in Vegas. 

I like going to Vegas, but I think having it more in the middle of the Country at Alpine Valley was the correct choice. (Travel wise)

This right here, especially the Sound in the venue is/was terrific.

I am not a fan of Vegas but PJ or Ed is what would get me there and has but the Sphere is not of interest to me unless it was that or no other tour

darwinstheory

I feel like I'd prefer to see a different act tgan PJ at the Sphere. Though, if PJ played the Sphere I'd have no issues going there to see them. Other than procuring tickets in the 10C lottery
