Since no one else has yet, I figured I’d share my experience seeing U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas last week. (I’m a little behind as I was traveling after the weekend and busy with catching up on work.) I live in Southern California, so it wasn’t a long trip for me. I went two nights, Oct. 20 and 21, with my cousin, a friend of mine who lives in Vegas, and his wife. My cousin and I are both members of the U2 fan club and were lucky enough to get general admission floor tickets for both nights. The floor at the Sphere is pretty small, about 1,200 capacity, so it felt like seeing them in a club

Death Cab for Cutie and the Postal Service.

I saw Mitski’s LA show last week and she was amazing. As an older fan (53), I did not feel out of place. It was a good crowd, quiet for the acoustic performance.

I was having the same problem trying to find a good seating chart. I was able to figure out my seat by clicking through this interactive map although it’s not very clear. https://3ddigitalvenue.com/3dmap/clients/ace-hotel-theatre/

I was considering sitting this one out since my concert calendar in October is pretty full with Death Cab/Postal Service, U2 in Vegas, Weyes Blood and the Walkmen. But it’s hard for me to pass up Wilco so I got a ticket for one of the Ace Theatre shows and the Bellweather in LA.

Largo just released more tickets for these shows on its website. Just got one for Friday.

Saw New Pornographers last night and Liam Kazar was the opener with Spencer Tweedy on drums.

I was happy to see this is becoming an annual tradition. I’m in for Saturday.

First night was great at Largo was great. I also saw them Monday at the Fillmore which was fun. I’ll be back Tuesday for Jeff solo. Looking forward to that. Hope he mixes up the set list a bit.
