Performance

Bono (understandably) wasn't hitting as many of those high notes as earlier on in the residency, but still gave a very strong vocal performance. I think he was having some IEM trouble during Desire; but the crowd was able to fill in the lyrics. Edge was really great too. Adam and Bram seemed good too.

Sound

Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

The crowd was far better than 10/08, but still weaker compared to 12/02 and 02/18. From section 305, GA didn't seem too active, but was packed from front to back (save for two small pockets on the sides).

My section stood from Streets-Beautiful Day, but there were lots of bathroom breaks during latter Achtung Baby and Elevation. Lots of singing along.

There was also a Spanish couple in the row ahead of us, who were checking/posting to Instagram the entire show. The dude was literally watching an unfunny comedy sketch as Zoo Station was erupting!

Overall

This was the only show that I was seated for the residency. Got seats in section 305.

Going from the bridge from the Venetian to the Sphere was smooth enough, and there was no trouble getting through security. This was my first time seeing the lobby of the Sphere, and it struck me how much attention to detail there is, with the architecture, the math equations everywhere, and the spherical/curved aesthetic.

The upstairs merchandise stands had virtually no line, and the bathrooms were clean. In-fact, I believe I saw Pavel Sfera leaving the men's room on the 300 level. I just saw his back-- wearing the big gray coat Bono wears, the same glasses, and the hairdo. Then again, it could have just been another impersonator.

The show itself was great. Video from the 300s makes the band look tiny, but the view of them was still good. The 300 sections are also the perfect height for the visual-aid (which looks very sharp). Couldn't help but glance at the video control monitor on the left, to see what was up, every once in a while. It's also worth noting that the perspective of the Fly and Even Better is significantly different than GA, due to the shape of the screen. The former looks curved outwards, and the latter looks more three-dimensional. Also, the illusion of the stone dome was broken when the light is reflected off the frame, which isn't apparent from GA.

The haptics randomly fired during Pauli The PSM's set, and again during the Zoo Station "reveal" and Vertigo helicopters flying in. The haptics weren't by any means necessary, but I was surprised how silent they are.

Sitting so high also allowed for more careful observance of the graphics... For instance: noticing the ZOO TV logo and Adam during Zoo Station, the balloon before the show, the stars during Streets, and The Fly Changing the last word sequence from "IT'S YOUR WORLD YOU CAN CHANGE IT" to "ALL OF US IS BETTER THAN ANY OF US". It was also nice actually seeing the stage effects during Acrobat/Vertigo/Atomic City. The only visual bug that I noticed was some screen tearing during With Or Without You

The 2024 Ultra Violet visuals aren't as good as the violet bursts or gold rain, but it's still awesome... I just hope Discotheque shows up last-minute with those visuals.

Also, the little bit of MacPhisto during Until The End Of The World was a nice touch.

Overall, it was a strong show, glad they mixed it up a bit with Angel of Harlem instead of LoveTown. The audience was questionable, but the performance was great.... However, it doesn't even compare to Sunday's show.
