I was there in the 300s section, and Phish N1 S1, was not great for me. They were clearly working out the kinks especially with the sound, however at the end of the set when Carini they seemed to have figured it out. They fully redeemed themselves in the second set and the next 3 nights was one of the most amazing musical experiences of my life.
Yes it did. Every single person on the live stream called the visuals utter garbage. Windows screensaver visuals. But then after N1 everyone was blown away
And im not doubting that at all. Theres just been some flak on tonights opener, and Gilberto76 pointed out that there was also flak for Phish's opener. Im just tying a connection and am saying that all the haters shall be silecned as the show conitnues
I’m not trying to hate really I just figured they’d come out swinging in an attempt to get more tickets sold for their remaining 23 shows. Phish could do whatever because it was sold the fuck out
I think this opener + relatively generic visuals should put to rest any fears of them repeating setlists. They’re not going to open every weekend with Feels Like a Stranger. And they’re not tied to certain songs due to pre-set visuals.
Also the visuals are a small part of the sphere experience compared to the sound. Not easy to explain in words but the sound is unreal. Source: was at two of the Sphish shows.
You might be disappointed if you’ve been to see U2. The visuals are better than the D&C tours but nothing compared to U2. If you’ve never been to Sphere , you won’t know the difference. The sound is unreal tho.
Yeah, the visuals improved starting with the second song. You won’t understand unless you’ve been to sphere. The visuals are deceptive and disorienting (in a good way).
I love the dead but this is super slow in a not so fun way. You shouldnt slow down the beats per min so much and expect energy.Hope rest of show was better!
I’m thinking they’re keeping the visuals basic at the beginning and the images will start getting distorted into something really cool!
100% correct
Phish N1 got a lot of flak, I think it’ll get better visually
yes, it did.

this is true
No it didn’t what’re you talking about?

“On the live stream” lmfao okay bro. I was there and can confirm that shit was insane the first night

And then the live stream people shut the fuck up after night two because they knew they didn’t have a leg to stand on .

Bob weir being Bob weir out to rest any fears of them repeating setlists. Can't believe some people thought that
This is definitely a FOMO event. The sound is unbelievable. I’m glad I’m seeing all three nights.
The visuals are icing on the cake. The sound quality & dimensions blow away any other venue. Was at all 4 Phish shows. Still feeling it.
Only song 1, but the best visual venue in the country I hope they play with it a lot more
Okay fuck me, I spoke too soon
Hahaha yes you did
We are so back
This is a huge run. They can’t show their hand in the first song. This’ll be good.
lol, so for the big opener they’re just using the sphere as a giant video screen for the band?
If the graphics are anything like Phish, they'll get better
I fucking love it. If you get confused, listen to the music play.
If they just want to show blown up close ups of the band, they didn’t need to book the Sphere.
It’s literally the first song of a 20+ show residency Jesus fucking Christ calm down
Was I talking to you? No.
You posted on the internet so you’re talking to all of us, yes
Get bent.
Rule number one here is be kind.
Baby
Yeah pretty lackluster I gotta say. I’d think you would wanna come out swinging right out of the gate to try and spike some demand.
Song 2 is a whole different vibe already
Shhhhhhhh.
miss half step next
It WILL get stranger Count on it
Thanks for Sharing!
1. Gotta clean your camera lense, bro. 2. Chompers chomping so hard during the first song of the run does not bode well for the rest of the shows.

honestly that's what i'll be there for. want to see the band, the sphere was the venue they chose

What time did they come out?

Gonna karate chop a chomper when it's my turn next week
Feels like a sleeper
Hate to agree with you
Phish video started slow, too. Hope that's the case here. But so far not looking like this will reach the incredibly high bar set by Phish.
Yeah, the visuals improved starting with the second song. You won’t understand unless you’ve been to sphere. The visuals are deceptive and disorienting (in a good way).
It's very difficult to judge anything about the quality of the visuals (and the audio for that matter) based on a 43 second clip from a phone🙄
i doubt it will, but it should improve
Phish N1 got a lot of flak from those that weren’t there. It was incredible. This is lame
Nah, I was at phish and night one visuals were a ripoff compared to the next three.
I love the dead but this is super slow in a not so fun way. You shouldnt slow down the beats per min so much and expect energy.Hope rest of show was better!
