   That giant sphere concert hall is so gay, it’s the exact kind of gimmick you think is intriguing for the first song only to lose interest as the show goes on. It’s just a big ol’ screensaver trying to make the illusion of depth.

   It’s like those crappy rides where you get in a little shoebox and ride in a circle getting shaken around while you stare at LCD panels ensconced in set dressing. If you can force yourself to forget the fact you’re just looking at big screens the whole time, maybe it’s fun. But when you know the trick, it’s not nearly as magical

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I'm imagining some poor lad having to replace an entire panel because there's a couple of distracting dead pixels on it.

     @dew_the_dew I feel nothing about them. I think I know someone who flew them , they gave him an autographed U2 ipod afterwards, and he kept asking everyone he knew if they liked U2 in the hopes they would be a good home for it.

     At least I think it was him? It might have been another 90’s band like that…..can’t remember for sure.

     @McMongoose It’s dad energy, we aren’t supposed to be enthralled by cheap parlor tricks, particularly when the ad campaign costs half a million dollars for four hours of play time

     @WashedOutGundamPilot the concert-hall-as-an-attraction is the natural end of making the boomer generation the end all be all in live entertainment
     if your Rolling Stones are functionally corpses onstage and you're not putting on any other acts may as well make some spectacle worth paying to see

     Broke: Americans have replaced concert halls for twisted domes of self felating nothingness, voiding what little meaning there was, they can only do worse.
     Woke: I prefer real concert halls, they can be a really nice contribution to culture.
     Bespoke: idk it looks like it could be fun imo.

     @McMongoose I’m thinking 360 of LCD panel aren’t exactly great sounding, sonically;.
