Eagles’ Classic Catalog Is More Vivid Than Ever at Night 1 of Las Vegas Sphere Residency: 6 Best Moments
Night 1 of Eagles’ Sphere residency proved there’s something enchanting about pairing songs that have this deep of a history with a brand-new medium.
The group still boasts the pristine harmonies, tight guitar licks, and overall passion that belies their veteran status; it’s just that now you can also take a literal trip into a spooky forest for the otherworldly “Witchy Woman,” so it’s not just the unnerving production setting the macabre mood. The visuals set the tone for the evening, beginning simply with headlights traveling down that notorious “dark desert highway” before opening up into the haunted halls of the hotel, full of faceless figures at a long dinner table and white masks peeking down ominously from the ceiling. Some of the most stunning visual displays included a couple’s gorgeous underwater choreography for “Boys of Summer”; a towering cityscape growing over the crowd before collapsing down into the ground for “In the City”; and a bus driving all the way into the cosmos and into a meteor shower for “Take It to the Limit.”
