Don't know why people miss the big picture. My wife and I work damn hard all year, and save hard for one fabulous thing per year. This band is a celebration of life - of people we love getting close to the end, and loving the here and now. I'm 61 - almost 5 decades with Bob Weir, and whatever company he keeps. We will love Jerry forever, but this is a damn wild celebration of the music. John belongs here to his core. I love it, and can't wait for my 4 day weekend in Las Vegas, in June.
Amen! I’m sick of folks who piss in other people’s Cheerios. I firmly believe comparison is the thief of joy. I too am doing a weekend of the shows in June and am so stoked! Enjoy this wonderful opportunity and experience with your wife!
Thank you so much for capturing this. I was completely overwhelmed on the night by the music and visuals. Watching it again brings back so many happy memories of two incredible nights.
I was there (I think). Heavy dose and it was like taking my hat off, placing my brain into it, handing it to them and saying "do with this as you see fit, good sirs". To which they replied..."ok...watch this..."
That shit is steeeeep up top. Be careful. I almost didn't eat mine. If you are in a lower level, then it's much better....but eat them for sure. I was glad I did.☺️
Nothing is good enough for people today. Sounds great when im at shows I dance my ass off with my eye's closed. Be happy you still here this live. I would loved to be here awesome stuff!!!!!
Bobby’s vocal timing rushes the end of too many key lines where Jerry had paused to add emotional weight to the end of the line. Stunning space and moment though no doubt.
Saw Dead & Co summer 2022 at Pine Knob and it was a beautiful little scene. Main Street was just big enough to be interesting and fun, not overwhelming and sad like in VA . DK why they didn’t come back last year. 🙁 Still, great to see them anywhere we can. ✌️
God.. how I wish I could go to this wonderful show. It's a shame that our currency is so devalued. We pay 5x more than our northern brothers. Congratulations to those who went and had this incredible experience.
Can’t wait to see Dead and Company in June! Here’s a different perspective for the folks who are being critical: these guys still actually sing and play live…no backing tracks like other older bands out touring these days. Peace and love y’all.
I'm sorry. I can't believe anyone would be disappointed. The Electrical Engineering and IT Science that went into the construction was groundbreaking. Sorry if the mechanism looks a bit weird but in sense got us to colonize Mars, from an astoundingly visual perspective.
Wow..need real bears on paper to enhance their visual effects..guess sphere got own creative development for their LED'S..at first i was asking how tiny was stage b4 zoomed in looked like 12ft×25' lol..now at end looks 40×30..still small for venue that seats idk how many..guess 12000+ and i dont think these were true nosebleed seats😂, take look at acdc stage size..tour started 3 days ago..europe leg. Only good pyro is at very end. Hope you and family are well. Hugs to all!
@@theebluess oh yea! You’re correct. He definitely is using the green 594. I just assumed he was using the silver sky like he has been for the first two shows and all last summer. Other than an his acoustic, I don’t remember him using anything other than his Silver Sky last summer. Maybe wrong though.
Beautiful. Nevermind i cant afford. Bobby and company get PAID good. Thats what matters. Thanks for recording. Dead forever. They deserve this financial peak. Nevermind the salty poors
@tobysshades again it sounded slow like half speed and lethargetic . Seemed like a struggle Guess that's what you get from guys their 80s. Many people have said this about the tempo
I have to be honest, I try to be open to new ideas but I find this incredibly gimmicky and cheesy. The novelty of the big screen wears off quickly and then it becomes a distraction from the music. This whole residency feels like a very packaged product, just another Vegas tribute act to see on your vacation. The Grateful Dead is best experienced outdoors in the summer, twirling under the stars, not a giant LED screen. I love this band and I understand not being able to tour full time, but I wish they were doing a run of shows literally anywhere else.
I understand you’re feeling. As a traveler of hundreds of shows in the most amazing places what you say has some merit. I will say however the Dead have always been ahead of the curve sonically and visually and once again proving they still are . I can see how the sensory overload can become annoying for it’s the music that brings us keeps us and will live forever. That said I wish I was at sphere to experience it
I had hopped the band wouldn’t go in this direction or any band for that matter. Vegas, nostalgia act, very high ticket prices, nothing new. Ugh. Sad. I have to look away.
@@gkubrickprobably the same reason i am. The music means so much that i have to at least try to understand, but I’m l;et down and frustrated every time I listen to these guys. Pack it in already, they’re tainting their legacy.
Am I the only one completely let down by the visuals? A slideshow of memories of the band that isn't playing, with 2 living members not a part, is not high level graphic design. Remember android jones doing fare thee well? 100x better, why on earth did they decide early 2000s winamp graphics are next level? Fuck sake I have an app on my phone thats a liquid visualizer drawing app that spits out more engaging stuff EDIT: seeing it live didn't change this feeling. However Bob's interview explaining technical challenges did

you're gonna have a blast
@@KevinElliot-ni4lb Thanks for that...appreciate you!
Well said!!! I get so tired of all the negative remarks. This music is fantastic and will endure for many, many moons.
Beautiful.

Thanks for videotaping & sharing. Psyched here for next weekend. What’s Dead in Vegas Stays Dead in Vegas. Forever Dead!
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless you get chased down by a rabid zebra
Wow! This makes me smile, smile, smile! 😊 💀 🌹
It's like being at a giant planetarium with Dead how cool is that just awesome they should release DVDs of these shows
Yeah I hope so too. I can’t imagine they won’t
A show like like this would be awesome in 360 VR.
Man I guess I gotta switch from vcr to dvd… bastards
This made me cry! Friggin BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you so much for capturing this. I was completely overwhelmed on the night by the music and visuals. Watching it again brings back so many happy memories of two incredible nights.
All these videos demonstrate that the sound is superb in that room.

Brilliant.
Eating some shrooms here soon. Will enjoy.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Those effects in the background are amazing, out of this world!
Many thanks for sharing this

If your eyes are closed then why bother going to the sphere?
Thank you for sharing your experience with Dead & Co. @ The Sphere‼️ 🌍 🌈 🌞 🌧️ 🌻💀🌹⚡️🎰❤️🔥 🥁 🎸 🎹 🎤
Thank you for all the videos you share, looks like an amazing time !! Enjoy⚡️
Thanks for the great video! Love the perspectives. 🙏🏼🌹
Holy John Mayer 🤯
Excellent!!
WOW, those graphics are mind blowing! the best ones I have seen yet for dead and co........
Bobby’s vocal timing rushes the end of too many key lines where Jerry had paused to add emotional weight to the end of the line.
Stunning space and moment though no doubt.
It’s a shame he’s lost much of his voice. I don’t think he has the breath anymore for the pauses. It’s a bummer
Thanks for showing

Classic case of assuming before you finish watching. It’s incredible and I love it 🥳
Grateful 🎆

caught them in vegas decades ago. 3 days at silverdome. .. time to return... thanks... miracle me?
What seats/section did you have Scott? Thanks for sharing!
amazing music also, wish Jerry were here.
Im the biggest critic here, they did one hell of a job re creating 72, we all know that was the game plan.
Walk me out in the morning Fondue 🫕 💨💨💨 my honey 🍯
Owseley would have had a field day
Dope shots man. How did you get them? With a tripod or handheld? Nice work.
MoringDew is like the comfortably numb of GD music… Speaking of that Roger Waters should do a run at this sphere that would be awesome!
This is also Morning Dew
Musta been high when they posted this
John's tone has improved

Ok i would definitely like to take some acid for this! Also could be way more mandala/psychedelic visuals!
YES! so long it was REAL LSD from SF or Eugene, OR.
🌘🌘
I am a little saddened and not surprised to read the negativity. Social media is for the weak and the lazy.
Anybody happen to know what this new PRS Mayer’s playing is?
It’s his signature guitar called “The Silver Sky”
Not new, it's a custom PRS McCarty 594.
@@theebluess oh yea! You’re correct. He definitely is using the green 594. I just assumed he was using the silver sky like he has been for the first two shows and all last summer.

💀🧸🎸
Jerry did the best 🍄
Who's the Billy drummer? Not Billy
Jay Lane, Ratdog and early Furthur.
No need for such graphic overload. When they started it was music and a few lights...
WAHHHH!!!!!!
Space visuals for a morning dew, dumb. Dead Incorporated!
I miss Jerry vocal nuances in this song....
Bob is so old
Tripping so hard he couldn't spell sphere right
Or Morning Dew!! 😂💧 My goodness. Great recording tho and Grateful!!
I love it but the conversation is distracting. How can you talk when Morning Dew is playing????
Cause Bob’s singing it.
Just my opinion. John Mayer should grow his hair out and wear tie-dye to really " hippy-it-up." That said, he does a good job.
He's been doing it for almost a decade now
🥱
Beautiful. Nevermind i cant afford. Bobby and company get PAID good. Thats what matters. Thanks for recording. Dead forever. They deserve this financial peak. Nevermind the salty poors
Looks great not sure about the sound...
Multiple people have said it's the most dynamic sounding venue they have ever been to.
167,000 immersive speakers. Tough to replicate on a phone.
@carlgemlich1657 it sounded
lethargic . Seemed like it was a struggle
I guess that's what you get from guys in their 80s.

Been there done that on to something new, still use candles and ride a horse????
I agree and disagree... Better this than nada... And the music was there! Forever grateful. And it was a really cool experience, although, gimmicky.
I’ve read in interviews where Garcia gives a hard pass to Elvis as an over-bloated shell of a performer…

WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rushed and just plain greed. Phish worked on their 4 shows for north of 9 months. And there were AMAZING VISUAL EFFECTS
Yea but then you had to listen to phish, yuckkkk
I think John was unplugged half the song lol ..... Bringing out the worst versions ever at this sphere venue
Boring,
Sell Outs, Jerry must be rolling in his grave…no thank you
LOLOLOLOLOL
You're clueless about what Jerry wants you jackass
Jerry wanted a single venue to play from, they talked about building one. And he was big into graphics, I think he would have loved it
WAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
john mayer is a tool
More like a Morning Don't. Sorry this band is weak, there are better Dead cover bands playing in dive bars.
Then why are you here?
@@gkubrickprobably the same reason i am. The music means so much that i have to at least try to understand, but I’m l;et down and frustrated every time I listen to these guys. Pack it in already, they’re tainting their legacy.

I was thinking the exact same thing. The hell in a bucket looked like it was part of an Nintendo 64 game visual.
Watch drums/space thats it for me that beam was rocking my soul
Listen to the music play and quit the constant complaining. Seriously this is the begining of a legendary residency and youre spewing negativity?
@dylanjoseph583 one comment is constant complaining? Get over yourself.
Unfortunately for them... Phish laid down the f'n hammer on jaw dropping visuals. Dead & Co. never stood a chance.
Enjoy it when u can and stop blocking the beauty with negativity @criticman123
