The Sphere, Las Vegas

A few bands have stepped up their game for arenas. Metallica are definitely one, especially with their in the round performances which give a better view. When the ticket prices go up dramatically and they're getting 5x the audience to each show, I expect bands to put a bit more effort in than just a large screen, which a lot think they can get away with.

But you'd be surprised the size of stage set I've seen in the Apollo - having Metallica's scales of justice statue fall out over the audience in there was both impressive and initially scary!

there are also some bands that really shouldn't try Arena's, I've seen Black stone Cherry quite a few times at both the Arena and Apollo. at the Apollo they are excellent. at the arena they seem lost.

Sorry thats pretty much on par with calling space shuttle "just a plane with a firework attached"

This is, while no doubting frivolous, an impressive bit of engineering.

Never said it wasn't.

still stick a shit band on the stage and no impressive bit of engineering is gonna make them sound good

Acid might be too much there

It’s amazing. Better when face to face with it
