Eagles Sphere

Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)

Could you change the channel man

I've had a really hard day

and I Hate the Eagles

There is only one review on the Eagles sub reddit. Pretty much what I expected

I would give it a 5 out of 10. When you look at the sphere, the things that you can do as far as graphics are just endless and the way the eagles approached this was just underwhelming and disappointing. You know the eagles have so much content they could have integrated into the sphere to make the experience so much better but they didn't... and of course the only songs that were actually great were Joe's of course because of his creativity and open-mind. But seriously eagles (HENLEY), you are going to charge so much $$$ and just do sh*t for some of the songs... i mean for "boys of summer" all he had portraying in the sphere background was a music video of a couple running around the beach like seriously???? and then for "peaceful easy feeling" you just have the whole sphere blacked out and then have an image of deacon singing??? like seriously all the footage and photos you have that you could have incorporated... Not to mention the real big disappointment, HOTEL CALIFORNIA... seriously eagles you're just going to re-use the same old video of a walkthrough a hotel... like the amount of things they could have done instead!!! perhaps, a compilation of the band performing hotel california through the years, or photos of the 1977 hotel california tour, or anything that actually made it worth the $$$ for going to the show. I won't smash the whole show of course... I mean they did show some creativity such as during "life in the fast lane" and "heartache tonight", but thats really it... I may be too harsh but when you consider how other shows went in the past at the sphere and then you look at the eagles... it's just disappointing.. The eagles will always be my favorite and number one band, and i was really considering on going to this show, but i feared that this would be the outcome... and i was right.... Eagles i expected better. Not mad, just disappointed.

When the band and audience were genuinely engaged with one another ....

 

I'm interested in what acts do in The Sphere. We are still at the very beginning of what can done there. Phish did it best so far, but even that didn't scratch the surface of the potential. Video artists just aren't used to working with a canvas that big. I'm looking forward to what can be done and this band obliviously doesn't have a single fuck to give about pushing any boundaries. 

It's unfortunate how the economics force the wrong bands into the space. Hopefully the Anyma run over NYE will do more than re-purpose their current live visuals. 

Agreed that there is a lot of opportunity.   The investment in making great visuals at the scale is significant and who is really willing to go that far.
