” After all these years, I was able to attend a U2 concert”boasts U2 guitarist David Evans, aka The Edge, in the 30-second trailer for the upcoming film V-U2: An Immersive Concert Film at Sphere Las Vegas. Apparently, like many of the band's fans, he didn't get to see the Irishmen perform on the Sin City stage. Luckily, starting September 5, he and anyone who missed or wants to relive the band's residency will be able to watch the film, which he made with his wife, Morleigh Steinberg, inside the Sphere.
The film was shot using the Big Sky camera system, developed by Sphere Entertainment. These images will be projected on the ” plan » Sphere's 15,000 square meter display, an LED screen that offers a resolution of 16k x 16k. The room will also be equipped with a high-definition audio system and “haptic” seats, which will vibrate to the sound of “ Even Better Than the Real Thing » and the rest of the album Achtung Baby! which they performed during their residency.
” The goal was to offer viewers of the immersive film an experience as close as possible to that of the U2:UV concert, and even more.The Edge said in a statement. I've never been to a U2 concert. I'm so relieved to have seen a great one. »
” We knew the amazing capabilities of this technology, but we didn't know what to expect when making this film.said Mr. Steinberg, who had already directed the video, Staring at the Sun » by U2. The work became a true collaboration between the band, artists, producers and technology teams. The end result is a cinematic experience that transports viewers into the energy and beauty of live performance. »
Tickets for the film start at $100. U2.com subscribers and members of the ” inner circle » of the Sphere will have the first tickets from Thursday. The public will be able to buy the remaining tickets from Friday.
After U2's first performance at the Sphere, WECB posted a glowing review of the event. Whatever happens in the future, it's hard to imagine a better proof of concept for the Sphere than that U2 show. It's almost painful to imagine going back to a dingy gym for a concert after experiencing something like that. »
