My musical heroes Phish will be playing four unique shows at The Sphere in April. Tickets are ridiculously expensive.

I learned recently that Phish puts on world-class light shows, with some pretty sophisticated hardware, and one on-stage performer dedicated to controlling it. I wonder what they'll do with the sphere interior?

  Hit up a show sometime. Nothing like it!

  The whole fanbase is wondering the same! They have done a variety of multimedia experiences beyond light shows at their festivals and New Years Eve shows so are no strangers to using different tech. The most interesting thing will be how the improvisation is handled. A large chunk of Phish shows are all improvised which means no pre-programmed visuals. This is very different to U2 which has the entire show planned and programmed.

Friend and I just saw the U2 show two weeks ago at the Sphere. Well worth the cost of the two tickets as there is no concert experience like it. She sorta got a deal for all the Phish shows there when they first went on sale. If you don't buy them directly from the Sphere/Ticketmaster (sells out really quick) then its going to cost you a ton more via Seatgeek, Stubhub, etc.

  > She sorta got a deal for all the Phish shows What does that mean? That shit was impossible. I don't know anybody who got tickets-- lottery or general.

    She was in the lottery and was able to get some package deals ..they are staying in Venetian which is part of the package deal (4k for all 4 days of Phish and a few nights at the Venetian). So are all the resale on seatgeek and stubhub sold out too?

      Rather it wasn't a lottery but via being an email subscriber of theirs.. email went out and the package deal was sold out in 30 minutes.

The sphere would have been my 50th. Definitely my musical inspirations as well. Top musicians that make me appreciate music, just all music, better. Still hyped from summer tour. Hope to see you in a couple of days.
