For those who saw that Postcards From Earth movie at the Sphere, how crowded was it? If crowded, was it hard to get transportation back to your hotel afterward?

Thanks!

+/- on worth it

Very worth it, in my opinion!

We saw U2 there earlier this year, and are going to the Eagles next month (it helps that it's a driveable distance for us). I loved the U2 show, and thought the Sphere visuals and immersive sound (and haptic seats) were amazing.

That said, I don't think I'd pay to see anything other than a concert there.

I saw U2 there almost a year ago. I wish we were there longer so we could have seen the movie.

They will be showing a film about the U2 concert residency in the coming weeks I believe
Friend saw the Eagles last weekend and said it was unbelieveable and better yet different then the actual postcards from the earth show

Same here. Open date for Aggie football comes at a good time for a trip to Vegas. And coincides with the Eagles.

It's already started. I know some folks who went last week and said it was amazing ... you forget U2 is not actually live.

We saw U2 there in January and going to see the Eagles November 8.

Looking forward to another trip to. Vegas.

I saw the U2 concert earlier this year and can confirm the show took full advantage of the Sphere's capabilities. Everyone was staring wide-eyed at many of the effects.

This sounds interesting. They are considering an $80mm adaptation of the Wizard of Oz for the Sphere.

Eagles added more dates and I along with a few others are in Vegas for a weekend work thing

Gonna try and catch the show when tickets go on sale

I would also like to see the U2 show as well

they should also do something with game of thrones....

It's weird to me that a band like eagles is doing sphere. I've never seen them, but are they visually interesting at all?

Sphere seems to be made for visual bands like Tool, TSO, Muse, Metallica, maybe some pink floyd stuff, etc.
Hell, Ghost would be badass there too.

Productions at the Sphere are expensive, because of the extensive, immersive video work that's required. Each song usually has very specific graphics.

So a couple of things come into play - the band has to be able to draw a large enough audience to have numerous shows, to offset the production costs. And it has to have a large enough audience that can afford expensive tickets.

Bands like U2, Dead, Eagles all have older fan bases that theoretically have more disposable income, and are willing to fly to Vegas for shows like this.

While the visuals for a Tool/Ghost type show would be very cool, I don't know that they have the type of fanbase that could support 20-30 shows at the Sphere and make it cost effective for the band and the producers.

Eagles concerts are awesome

Man, come on, I've had a rough night and I hate the f/cking Eagles.
