Just frigging incredible. What a show. GA is the way to go if you can, still get the full effect of the screens while feeling like you're seeing U2 in a small club playing one of the greatest albums ever created.

Yah, during that main set that was all achtung baby, except for a few songs in the middle, that were a bside from the 90s, some joshua tree, and a crowded house cover. To my brain it felt like I finally got to see the ZooTV (Achtung Baby) tour. I didn't' get to start going to U2 shows until Popmart so I missed them touring my favourite U2 Album. It took me right back to that place and felt like I was on that tour.
It was really the first time I'd gone a concert where a band played a classic album. Not sure if it works with other bands, but Achtung Baby is one of my alltime favourites, so it was amazing. I have no regrets that I spend several thousand dollars to travel to vegas, stay in vegas, and see a show. Worth every penny
I decided to use air miles and book literally a 20 hour trip from Vancouver to Vegas this Friday to see the show. I haven't seen setlists or anything other then of course I know Achtung Baby is played in full.
When this was announced I swore I would go and now I am pretty excited. Just a little annoyed I bought on StubHub on Monday and today I saw some GA tickets released on Ticketmaster. So I lost about $100, but grand scheme that's not the end of the world.
Glad to read a couple reviews above stating it is well worth the travel!

Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall after a very restful summer exploring the Great Canadian Wilderness and beaches, listening to Pearl Jam, Headstones, Watchmen, Queens of the Stone Age, and many others.

I think it's because Vegas is flooded with people going to the superbowl. Seems those people aren't buying the u2 tickets (and scared away all the U2 fans). It was crazy seeing all the facebook posts about the prices dropping so much.

Yeah when the 2024 dates were announced I was surprised they were even playing this weekend, and immediately ruled it out in my options for buying tix through the fan club as other costs (flights, hotels) would have been prohibitive. Just surprised with what you'd assume is a very large influx of visitors to Vegas this weekend, there's not a lot of folks who would want to see the show as part of their weekend entertainment.
Damn impressive numbers and tonight is closing night! Would’ve loved to have been there for this show, I’m glad I caught one of them it was the best concert experience bar none as far as I’m concerned.
What a run. Glad I could experience two of the shows.
It’s kind of weird but I was thinking how do they do another tour and top this and I figured it can’t be done! And I’m not sure I could enjoy it as much if not in that setting that’s how special the sphere is, no arena or stadium can match it! I wish I could have done more than one show heck I probably could have done one a week if I had the funds man what a run indeed!
They've been a band longer than 40 years. Formed in 1976 as schoolmates, 1st album released in 1980. It was the 40th and final show at Sphere.
Loved the visuals during 40 with screen changing colors. Should have closed every show that way. So glad i got to see them at Sphere. What an incredible concert.

Oh ok I misread it! You can tell they really get along great, I believe I saw them on a college circuit tour in 81 just not positive but def saw them in 83 when WAR exploded.
It's been a month and week since I saw a show at the Sphere. I still can't shake it. I've been listening to so much U2 since then. The concert seems to have had an insanely big impact on me.

I saw them in December and I’m still smiling at how good it really was and my wife who’s not into music like me still says she’d do it again in a minute!
