Dead & Company, Night 2: Still More Visual Content Added to Sphere Residency, in What Fans Herald as a Peak Performance
Dead & Company soared even higher on night 2 of the band's second Sphere residency, most fans agreed; plenty new video content was added to the show.
Eventually, the dancers’ feet left whatever counted as the ground in this situation, and they swam and/or flew across the massive oval screen, in what you could almost believe was a euphoric real-time response to some of Mayer’s more fevered soloing. It was faintly reminiscent of the most ornate assemblage that U2 put up during its own premiere engagement at Sphere — in this case, a vaguely circus-themed tableau that had, among other elements, dozens of coffins containing Uncle Sams being dropped through long tubes and turned into compost as they reached the bottom of the screen. After Uncle Sam got on the motorcycle, as previously seen on every night of both residencies, there was an edit, and then a cut right to the skeletal avatar driving around a neon cartoon rendering of the streets of Las Vegas.
