    Was just listening to the LV Night 1 boot and Ed references coming back next year during Wishlist.  

        I didn’t catch it during the live performance but it was clear on the boot. 
    I think it's just a matter of how many shows, and will they be in May, or Sept '25 😅
    So, what's the under/over for the number of shows played there? (IF the play there)

    2 1/2 ?

    3 1/2 ?

    4 1/2 ?
    More than Phish. Less than U2.
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    My guess is maybe two sets of 3-4 shows? Hopefully we will get lots of notice. Hoping to go to the shows from the U.K.

    I’d make a trip to the Sphere from the UK. Kind of regret not doing it for U2, but the lack of Larry Mullen was putting me off.

    Big miss for you. The band is second to the visuals at the Sphere, didn't really think it mattered he wasn't there

    Yeah... big miss... Larry wasn't missed.... band was fantastic without him... he's an average drummer. I saw 5 Sphere shows (the Lady GaGa show too) and each one was amazing...

    Not going to get many travellers staying for multiple shows with that kind of tour. Especially if the sets are the same.

    That won't matter. Lots of us went to multiple U2 shows... and living in So Cal makes Sphere basically local! I'll do mid- week again...

    I understand, but that's kinda how the sphere works.  At least so far, it's having a residency of at least 5 weeks.  I'm going either way.

    I never looked at Dead and Company's tour to be honest. 3 in a row would be great. I thought it would be a couple of days off each show.

    Dead & co. was originally doing 18 shows over 6 weeks.  That is shorter than U2, but they have extended a couple more weeks now.
    15 shows guess was actually my low number.  Should get more.  If, and that's a Facemeltor small if, it is the Sphere my real guess is 24 shows over 8 weeks. Would prefer the fall since summer fucking sucks in Vegas.

    If they do the sphere, it needs to be 15-20 shows IMO.  Global demand is going to be insane.  

    I think the screen this tour was a training run for the sphere by the way.

    Chicago 8-18-18
    Chicago 8-20-18
    St. Louis 4-4-20

    Denver 9-22-22
    Noblesville 9-10-23
    Vancouver 5-6-24
    Seattle 5-30-24
    Nashville 5-6-25

    Imagine the variety.  They could have generic visuals and play anything in the catalog.  Obviously get Alive and probably EF and DTE, but everything else would be on the table every night.  It would be a non-album tour.  People will travel for the 3 show weekends from everywhere and the regular Vegas crowd will fill the Sphere.  I would prefer a real tour, I think, but this seems easier for them.
    The only REAL issue I see with a Sphere residency is Merch.  How does that work?  Would that be just the same for every show?  I fuck hope not.  We all appreciate OUR show merch specific items.

    I think we're onto something here, but more like this:

    Ten = 2 shows
    Vs. = 2 shows
    Vitalogy = 2 shows
    No Code = 1 show
    Yield = 1 show
    Binaural = 1 show
    Riot Act = 1 show
    Avocado = 1 show
    Backspacer = 1 show
    Lightning Bolt = 1 show
    Gigaton = 1 show
    Dark Matter = 2 shows

    Sixteen. All with rarities & b-sides, and standards to close out the show for a mixed crowd.
