MSG Sphere Las Vegas

We're going to see U2 on opening night and I could not be more pumped about this!
Suddenly the Circa pool doesn’t seem like the best place to be come March Madness. Give me a split screen on that.
They would pretty much have to. Acoustically inside a dome - and by extension inside a sphere - is a horrible shape for sound.Sounds like it has a ton of speakers, but "hidden" throughout the entire shell rather than coming from a single point/plane like a normal show.
MSG Sphere Vegas Shares Updates On State-Of-The-Art Audio Capabilities For New Venue
A new, state-of-the-art concert venue going up in Las Vegas known as the MSG Sphere at The Venetian is shaping up to be a technological marvel.liveforlivemusic.com
Man, that's insane. Too bad they had listen to U2 to see it.
This is where my old man comes out though, put your ******* phone down and stop experiencing it through a screen. There will be plenty of videos of it, no one needs your crappy Iphone 12 video.

U2 10-20 years ago would be awesome... but Bono doesn't sound like he still has it anymore.
I think thay looks cool as hell but after seeing that I wouldn't want a seat way up in the nosebleeds.

I guess I see why they have U2 as the inaugural event … now the crowd can listen to “Vertigo” as they experience actual vertigo.
Wow Bono sounds terrible. I’m not a U2 guy, did see them at Jack Trice just because it was at Jack Trice . Damn though he sounds like he is mailing it in.
I went. Sound was incredible, like mindblowing clarity. The bass was perfect and not overpowering. The screen was crystal-clear, too. Walking up to the 300/400 levels is a bit steep but if you keep your head down you'll be fine until you get to your seat. U2 sounded great - these videos don't do it justice at all. It's like trying to compare your eyesight to a camera lens; it's just not at all the same.
Agree with the phone comment - live life through your eyes, not the screen. Happy to share more!

So Achtung Baby is tied, with War, as my favorite U2 album. I was wanting to go to hear the entire album live but was underwhlemed with how some of the songs sounded on the videos I've seen. I LOVE Zoo Station, easily a top 10 U2 song for me, but wasn't overly impressed with how it sounded.
I'm on the fence now about ponying up. I saw the 2011 stadium tour, in the sweltering StL heat, where they played like 5 Achtung songs on the set list. I then saw the Joshua Tree tour, an album I'm not overly fond of, and was extremely impressed with how much better the live versions sounded.
Should I go? I like hearing it from the perspective of someone who went. I'm also curious where your seats were as I thought the 200-300 hundred level would give the best combo of sound and visuals in the sphere.
Thanks in advance.
It's up to you, of course. Bono is like 60 years old so he's not running around during Streets like he used to. Also, odd that there was no Disqoteche or anything from Pop or Zooropa as those songs seem to want this technology. The first half of the show was way more "immersive" with the screen than the second half.
I bought tickets at face value in the 300s and about $500 for GA, and they are differente experience but i think 100 or 200 center is your best bet for a single show. Truthfully, I'm a little shy to tell you to go or not because if you don't like it I don't want to be held responsible!
