Back in December, I went to Las Vegas to see one of the U2 residency shows at The Sphere. I wasn’t expecting much. After all, I’d already seen U2’s biggest shows. How could The Sphere be any bigger or better?

Boy, was I wrong. A concert at The Sphere is unlike anything you’ll see anywhere else. The whole US$2.3 billion-ish structure is a technical marvel.
