‘Are you ready to have your mind blown?’<\/p>\n

A question in a review of\u00a0the opening night. (Answer? We were.)<\/p>\n

Was it really two years ago that U2:UV Achtung Baby took off at Sphere in Las Vegas?
Here’s ten highlights from those forty nights in the desert. And if you’re looking for more, \u00a0you can find the best photo gallery here<\/a>\u00a0and the best video gallery here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Were you at one of the shows? Add your memories in the comments below.<\/p>\n

This is what it was like\u00a0inside Sphere as the band took to the stage on opening night.<\/a><\/p>\n

We were wowed by that first show\u2026 and so were the critics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You wouldn’t want to miss the\u00a0pre-show party with DJ Pauli.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every night was\u00a0a Beautiful Day<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Las Vegas was always an\u00a0Atomic City<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We missed Larry, recovering from surgery. Here’s\u00a0how Bono introduced Bram<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Night after night it was even better than Even Better Than The Real Thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There were the deepest of\u00a0deep cuts\u00a0like Adam recalling that base line to Seconds<\/a> all the way back from ‘October’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a show where a song might be seen from a different view completely, like\u00a0 ‘Ultraviolet (Light My Way)<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

‘We love you, Larry Mullen, Jr.’.\u00a0Larry was back<\/a> in the house before the final curtain fell.<\/p>\n

And it all came to a close with a new song<\/a>\u2026 which is not new at all but never gets old.<\/p>\n
