“We are filming tonight,” Bono told the audience. “So this is the show people will see after we go home.”
Member of the band U2, Bono in concert during their world tour of the Joshua Tree at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Wednesday, May 17, 2017. Bono wasn’t just thinking about the 18,000-plus fans who were in attendance while the show was actually happening — in real time — on Friday night at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
And, most certainly, it was an event well worth documenting, as the band moved ever closer to the finish line of what is certainly one of the most celebrated residencies in rock ‘n’ roll history. Like the album itself, the show opened with the adventurous mood-setter “Zoo Station.” From there, however, the set list forged its own path, as the four musicians shoehorned “The Fly” in before “Even Better Than the Real Thing” and then zipped over to Side Two again for “Mysterious Ways.”
Amid all that demand for our attention and awareness, which takes screen culture to a level that is truly sci-fi in nature, these four musicians still managed to be the true stars of the show. That’s impressive, given that many lesser-acts would surely be crushed by the virtual reality weight of all that surrounds them.
It was a great show — and one that apparently many other fans will get to experience in the future. According to, these two U2 shows over the weekend were being filmed with special Sphere-friendly camera equipment, leading to speculation that this film project could be intended to be shown at the venue itself — rather than being released via regular streaming/DVD/theater channels.
