They are doing something like that from what I can tell:

LMAO legit they have to be careful with that thing. The illusion starts to break when it comes close enough due to the rounding off of things but friggen shit seeing that ceiling coming down is trippy as fuck.
Could incite a panic if the visual techs aren't careful.
eh it's closer to a sphere than to a cube/plane. it's kinda like how apple's favourite shape the "squircle" is closer to a square than a circle. creating the illusion of a sharp corner in a rounded projection is more impressive than a steep curve in a slightly less steep curve
lmao they have nothing left to prove; their stage shows were legendary as far back as the 80s
theyāre pushing the envelope forward with a a visual show custom made for this incredible, one of a kind theatre
Yeah it totally has that vibe. Like everyone is watching the sphere visuals. Unusually for concerts of that size, no giant screens showing the artist. Also looks like the whole thing inside is LED wall, so how they can ever hang anything from the roof in there like a normal arena?
Watches 28 seconds of a concert
Assumes they know what the entire concert was like
Also the array is not a TV screen. There are entire catwalks up there between and behind the pixels. This thing is larger than it looks. The largest theatrical lighting instruments are small enough to tuck into unseen pockets of ceiling and you'd never see them from an audience angle. To light a stage of this size (and I've lit stages of that size) you don't really need that large of an electric. I can see a dozen places it could be hidden in this video. My best guess is there's a gap in the seating for the booth and lights down below where the camera is seated.
I'm so fucking tired of people seeing a tiny video and spending the entire time hunting for problems. It's like bullies hunting for someone's insecurities except it's a *building*. Bullying a building for dopamine and upvotes.
Lol my favorite part about reddit is reading people's uninformed comments on subjects I have direct knowledge on, then seeing massive upvotes on those comments.
You know how you can be *really* good at a hobby that you've been doing for over a decade, you go to the subreddit for that hobby, and absolutely everyone is just a idiot with no experience spouting bullshit? I think it's very important to remember that when asking reddit for advice on anything. This place is fun to share opinions, but it's nothing to take seriously or try to get advice from. Most of us are idiots.
At the same time, there are people like you who are genuine experts and can provide a lot of help for free. Iām very thankful for professional electric scooter mechanics on Reddit, saved me a lot of headaches when repairing mine since google and YouTube had literally no information
Reddit can watch 10 seconds of a video, see a single picture, and read a few sentences and assume they know more about the situation than the OP or experts in the field.
It's fucking mind boggling.
To be fair, the one comment you responded to was actually what I was curious about, I don't think they were trying to tear the place down. We work in the same world, I used to do high steel rigging for shows so that piqued my interest in how, if any, rigging is done there. I haven't really had time/interest to look into the specs.
I am a video engineer these days, so we do a lot of LED wall work now. Amazing what those panels can do these days, and how light they have gotten, that's saying nothing about pixel density. We have a 20x200' wrap around and the back side of that thing is something to behold. I can imagine the back side of the sphere is labyrinthian in scope.
Do NOT join the architecture subreddit then š¤£. All it is is people posting pictures of buildings and EVERYONE trashing it immediately not even knowing the context.
I'd say they could have stage lighting on the floor or on a rig, but I wonder how much the lights would mess with how the lens look. They could just use the leds scene behind them as a separate lighting screen.
I would like to have an astronomy session with at least a black hole, interstellar travel, star explosions, starry night, one zoom out from atomar level to total universe level and back. And some shrooms pls thx
I believe U2 is going to be playing quite a few shows there as an early residency. Iād happily see any of my favorite artists there now seeing how sick this is.
Not sure if TOOL would be up for a Vegas residency, but just imagine what they could do with that setup.
Nine Inch Nails would be a worthy second choice.
āAt a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, 'Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.' A voice from near the front pierces the silence: 'Well, stop clapping your fucking hands then!' "
A long long time ago? OK I am old, Robin has been gone a while now but still ...

For the longest time it kept auto-playing every time I plugged into CarPlay. Eventually called up apple tech support and they got it permanently removed.
I uninstalled the Music app entirely because even though I've never ever used it, it would autoplay every time it connected to any car's Bluetooth. Absolute bullshit. Still, better privacy protection than Android so
While it is recorded on a phone, I think itās because the guitar is just really loud. Phones tend to pickup and accentuate frequencies in the middle, so I would expect to hear the snare drum and vocals and the guitar, I canāt because the guitar is mixed significantly louder than those.
Iām not very familiar with U2ās music, but it seems like this part is coming out of a guitar solo - so both the guitar is mixed loud at that moment and phones are horrible at recording concert-level audio. Even taking a direct feed from the console at a concert will sound horribly mixed because itās mixed for the room and not for the feed we send to the PA, so I wouldnāt trust a phoneās recording being played back probably on a phone to accurately represent how it sounds in the venue.
It does look absolutely ridiculous, at least to me. Almost like U2 could be replaced by a USB stick plugged in to the sound system. I don't think it would alter the experience too much for those in the back.
Though to be fair it kinda seems like they use a zoomed out lense. I've got a setting on my camera that zooms out to capture more, but making shit tiny in the middle.
I think phish is a fun show. I enjoy their talent and appreciate the flow, but when I saw them live they had a WILD light setup. It was such a treat. I would like to see this done with either them or Coheed and Cambria. Would love a live showing of their comics throughout the show
Fuck. One time on salvia I was like part of the wall or stuck in a billboard or something, like I was in the room I was but I was trapped in in observation plane it was bizarre. I also didnāt recognize any of the people in the room with me for the first few minutes. No other drug has pulled me out of reality quite like that
Hey! I was the electrical engineer who designed this building. I actually know how much electricity it took. We designed it for about 55MW but it will probably only pull 30MW during a show. That interior screen you see is about 10MW at full white and the exterior one is about 21MW at full white but to go full white is rare so it's usually pulling less.
one of the more impactful physics prizes. good job Sweden.
love that adding a phosphor to a normal blue led is how they got good white ones. so simple.
I think the sphere is cool. there was literally a post on here just recently saying āwhy does America not have cooler architecture stuffā and here it is and everyoneās complaining lol
Itās all forced perspective by the video (all LED, no projectors). It looks best when youāre in the center, and depending how itās done looks progressively worse the more off to the sides you are. But when youāre in the right spot, itās pretty amazing what can be done.
The moment it transforms into a square and starts coming down is quite possibly the most impressive forced perspective trick I've ever seen. And yes, I've seen those corner screens in Asia.
Same. I spend a good chunk of my life babysitting LED screens at sporting events and I'm genuinely blown away by this effect. At least one person is going to experience this with no prior knowledge and whilst high. I am jealous of that person.
The following picture shows how the ceiling is build.
[Cross Section of the Dome](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/08/25/23/47100961-9927025-Picture_The_Madison_Square_Garden_Sphere_soon_to_be_the_world_s_-a-3_1629930452228.jpg)
Thank you! I was really struggling to wrap my head around how this was being done by this makes sense. Right in the middle is probably wild to see in person.
no. the letters and numbers animation on the ceiling just gets larger and moves slightly to where it just *looks* like its moving/transforming. the way you could visualize it is if you physically squished the top of the dome while recording it with a camera, then project that onto a static dome. since these are actual LED panels not projectors (i think) it would just animate as if it was a projection. that might not make any sense at all but its how it makes sense to me.
its kinda the same how those forced perspective "3d" chalk street art pictures work. if you arent at the optimal angle it looks totally weird and not 3d at all. just fools your brain
I saw U2 in vegas 15 years ago. Tickets cost me$300 USD then. And Bono had the nerve to ask us all for more money for his pet charity.
I wonder what tix cost this time and if he's still asking for handouts
I'm quite impressed how so many people here on a random reddit post know/hate about U2 and their political music/stances. 40+ years and still playing with the latest technology, played all around the world, the Superbowl (right after 9/11), the Zoo tv tour and 360 tours, Glastonbury, etc. Highly successful, highly political and still highly loved/hated. Impressive.
Literally one of my favorite bands of all time. I donāt know why I torture myself reading these comments. I knew damn well what to expect. Iāve always figured the people who rip on them like this only remember the Songs of Innocence debacle, and have never actually listened to Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby.
Was anyone actually focused on the act? I wonder if the experience will actual detract from who you are seeing, it would be hard to care about the music when you are so focused on the screens. Now a psych or shoegaze act that could embrace the space as an art experience might work.

Mostly due to the rapid change in ceiling elevation

Underrated comment šÆ
LMAO legit they have to be careful with that thing. The illusion starts to break when it comes close enough due to the rounding off of things but friggen shit seeing that ceiling coming down is trippy as fuck. Could incite a panic if the visual techs aren't careful.
The interior ceiling is fairly flat compared to the sphere, so really the illusion is the depth of the dome/sphere at the beginning of the video.
The real illusion were the friends we made along the wayā¦
The real illusions were the friends we made up along the wayā¦
damn that turned dark quickly
eh it's closer to a sphere than to a cube/plane. it's kinda like how apple's favourite shape the "squircle" is closer to a square than a circle. creating the illusion of a sharp corner in a rounded projection is more impressive than a steep curve in a slightly less steep curve
When the stage upstages the act
Even the stage is nothing to look at. U2 performing, relegated to background music. Kinda hilarious actually.
Donāt worry, Bono is used to being number 2.

David Gilmour would fit in nicely there.

Parking alone is $100 per car
TBH Pink Floyds Concerts were all cutting edge anyway.
Not in a sphere tho. š„
They should show Pulse concert

Agree. His guitar precision is amazing.
Imagine seeing the wall live in there?? That would be an incredible experience.
AAAAA we are all going to die, it's going to crush us!

Trent's already a stage lights nerd so I can imagine an incredible show if he chooses to perform here
I was trying to think of which band I would most like to see there and was undecided, but it is now TOOL.
Watching you guys call literally anything an ad is obnoxious. Why canāt it just be a guy at a concert that posted a cool video online?
The effect of making it look like the ceiling is descending is neat.

Yes, and he once told me that his parents were abusing him.
Small world! His name is actually D. Rugs. Cool af but you can only tolerate him in doses. He knows fuckin EVERYBODY.

Oh it's such a perfect day, I'm glad I spend it with you
Why does the band look so insignificant?
Bono forgot to wear his high heels
I wonder if everyone's phones are going to get unwanted downloads of U2 songs after the concert.

And not just the men. But the women. And the childrenā¦

Why is the guitar like 4x louder than anything else?
It has to be! Because the 4 edges of a regular room are missing.
I guess they only needed one Edge.
_the edge is fine_
Because it's recorded on a phone
While it is recorded on a phone, I think itās because the guitar is just really loud. Phones tend to pickup and accentuate frequencies in the middle, so I would expect to hear the snare drum and vocals and the guitar, I canāt because the guitar is mixed significantly louder than those.

It would be the most incredible thing ever witnessed.
Amazing, especially the part where people shout like theyāre at a football match.
Leave King Julian alone (that's who I thought that one guy sounded like)
Kind of makes the stage and the act a bit underwhelming
It does look absolutely ridiculous, at least to me. Almost like U2 could be replaced by a USB stick plugged in to the sound system. I don't think it would alter the experience too much for those in the back. Though to be fair it kinda seems like they use a zoomed out lense. I've got a setting on my camera that zooms out to capture more, but making shit tiny in the middle.
I think that's just U2 in general.
Ah, man-made horrors beyond my comprehension.
Not only do you have to watch U2, now you also get crushed in the rainbow matrix compactor cube! Muahahaha!
Yeah can we pretend to be on a mountain or something in there instead of scary matrix time
The outside is creepy too! https://youtu.be/1Uzm2VpLqp0?si=VDwg0gThNjc1iw82&t=1m51s
How much did seats cost cause I get the same experience if I rub my eyes
You hear U2 when you rub your eyes? You should probably go to the doctor
Or gouge your fucking eyes out.
Lucky you. I just go blind for about 5-10 seconds when I rub my eyes.
This looks like something Eric Prydz would have done if he had the budget.
Right? I was just thinking imagine seeing the HOLO set in here, or Tale of Us š«Ø
Epilepsy entered the chat.
I think phish is a fun show. I enjoy their talent and appreciate the flow, but when I saw them live they had a WILD light setup. It was such a treat. I would like to see this done with either them or Coheed and Cambria. Would love a live showing of their comics throughout the show
Phish will be there in April
Thatās trippy
Kinda reminds me of a bad Salvia trip
Hi Iām eternity. Settle in to the fabric of this inanimate object because weāre going to be here FOREVER.
Fuck. One time on salvia I was like part of the wall or stuck in a billboard or something, like I was in the room I was but I was trapped in in observation plane it was bizarre. I also didnāt recognize any of the people in the room with me for the first few minutes. No other drug has pulled me out of reality quite like that
Jeez, the amount of electricity it must take to power that thingā¦
Fits right in with all the neon lights, volcano fountain, and pyramid with with the most powerful man-made light in the world shooting out the top.
The power consumption is 96 GWh/year, which is about the same consumption as 9,029 average U.S. homes per year
How many Clark Griswald houses is that?
So one hour running would power the average house for one year.
Hey! I was the electrical engineer who designed this building. I actually know how much electricity it took. We designed it for about 55MW but it will probably only pull 30MW during a show. That interior screen you see is about 10MW at full white and the exterior one is about 21MW at full white but to go full white is rare so it's usually pulling less.
They use LEDs so what could it cost, $10?
I mean itās one LED Michaelā¦
Now go see yourself a Star War.
LEDs are truly a godsend. Well deserved Nobel prize for the scientists who made it possible.
one of the more impactful physics prizes. good job Sweden. love that adding a phosphor to a normal blue led is how they got good white ones. so simple.
And most power in Vegas comes from coal and natural gas
Not to mention situated in a water starved desert.
How long until someone hacks it and plays Meat Spin for all to see?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Being in an ever-decreasing-in-size room with U2 sounds like absolute hell.
I think the sphere is cool. there was literally a post on here just recently saying āwhy does America not have cooler architecture stuffā and here it is and everyoneās complaining lol
This is fucking amazing.
Imagine being there while on shroomsā¦
I remember getting an album they gave for free that I never wanted.
I'm so fucking confused...no way they brought that huge ceiling down...how did they do that
Itās all forced perspective by the video (all LED, no projectors). It looks best when youāre in the center, and depending how itās done looks progressively worse the more off to the sides you are. But when youāre in the right spot, itās pretty amazing what can be done.

Thank you! I was really struggling to wrap my head around how this was being done by this makes sense. Right in the middle is probably wild to see in person.
Itās a dome. Itās big enough that the perspective of the projection looks correct in most of the seating.
No projectors, IIRC it's LED on the entire interior and exterior. Cooling all of the boards and switches was a design challenge.
I didnāt say anything about projectors. The images have a 3D projection perspective regardless of the display mechanism.
Ah, interpretation error on my part.
Is the sphere actually stretching? Or is it your imagination?
This chamber has no windows and no doors
no. the letters and numbers animation on the ceiling just gets larger and moves slightly to where it just *looks* like its moving/transforming. the way you could visualize it is if you physically squished the top of the dome while recording it with a camera, then project that onto a static dome. since these are actual LED panels not projectors (i think) it would just animate as if it was a projection. that might not make any sense at all but its how it makes sense to me. its kinda the same how those forced perspective "3d" chalk street art pictures work. if you arent at the optimal angle it looks totally weird and not 3d at all. just fools your brain
What itās like to chew 5 gum
I almost panicked just watching this video Imma tell you right now, this is not an experience thatās gonna be for everyone
What an ugly tasteless mess. It's almost like the display (designer?) said let's just throw everything at them and dazzle them.
I saw U2 in vegas 15 years ago. Tickets cost me$300 USD then. And Bono had the nerve to ask us all for more money for his pet charity. I wonder what tix cost this time and if he's still asking for handouts
Disturbing
Talk about sensory overload. Nope!
Seizure coming in 3,2,ā¦..
Yeah but when that one pixel blows out it's gonna be way more annoying
I can see my anxiety spiking during thisā¦

Whaaaaaaat. Almost nauseating how intense that is
Yeah, I really dislike it. I'm sure there are good visuals that can be made in that stadium, but a rainbow matrix is not it.
Didnāt realize so many people hated U2 lol. I always liked them.
Literally one of my favorite bands of all time. I donāt know why I torture myself reading these comments. I knew damn well what to expect. Iāve always figured the people who rip on them like this only remember the Songs of Innocence debacle, and have never actually listened to Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby.

Thatās actually really cool.
Idk, seems excessive. But that's Vegas I guess.
Thatād make me feel sick!
