U2 played the first-ever show at the Las Vegas Sphere, a massive, dome-shaped venue wrapped in over a million LEDs. The concert, a live performance centered on the band\u2019s Achtung, Baby<\/em> album, was also the band\u2019s first in a series of performances it will put on at the venue through the end of December<\/a>. The cheapest tickets for the shows that haven\u2019t sold out yet start at about $400, as of this writing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n From videos being posted to social media, it looks like shows at The Sphere can be breathtaking, probably more than a little nauseating, and undoubtedly expensive to produce.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A review in The New York Times<\/em><\/a> says the concert alternated between gigantic, trippy visual effects sweeping across the domed display and the more standard concert screen fare of band close-ups. From this YouTube video of the first song, \u201cZoo Station,\u201d it looks like the show began with the latter:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But sometimes, things looked absolutely out of control, with wild animations spanning the entirety of the screen in ways that must be completely disorienting for our lizard brains. People were just losing it. <\/em>I <\/em>can\u2019t say I blame them<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Just look at this part while the band played \u201cThe Fly\u201d and all the text transforms into a tunnel extending up into the sky<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
