Las Vegas Sphere Needs Pink Floyd
The Las Vegas Sphere is a masterpiece. One of a kind, literally. It’s a venue that is so special, it turns what is normally just entertainment into an experience like no other.
I was one of the lucky ones to see U2 play Achtung Baby inside the Sphere. I am a U2 fan, always have been and I thought the show was incredible. But the most amazing part of the show was that it was that it wasn’t even about the band. It was about the experience.
Las Vegas Sphere Eclipses Everyone.
I’m not big on Phish or Grateful Dead (although I have been to a few Dead shows, that I barely remember). But I’ve seen some of the pictures from inside the Sphere, and it looks incredible. And knowing what’s it’s like to be in there, I’m sure the fans were more than impressed.

And I’ve heard the whispers of other possible bands that might play. The Eagles. Harry Styles. Lady Gaga. Casino.org listed the top nine of who might be next. While all those artists are great, and I’m sure their fans would be stoked to have them play, there’s only one band that makes sense.
Only one band that would take the Sphere to new heights. Only one band that would make all.
Pink Floyd.
The Great Gig in the Sphere
Yes, I know David Gilmore and Roger Waters hate each other. So much so, that according to ultimateclassicrock.com, David Gilmore recently put out a new album and says he will not play any Roger Waters era Pink Floyd.
This is incredibly depressing news for those of us who grew up on Pink Floyd. For those of us who “opened” our minds while Dark Side Of The Moon spun on the record player. For those of us who threw The Wall parties on a Friday night at whoever’s house was minus parents that weekend.
But every time I bring up how Pink Floyd is the only band who can truly do The Sphere justice, I’m told, never. No way. No how. That’s how much they hate each other. But I continue to believe. I continue to dream. And I continue to get told it won’t happen. So, should I put out an official plea for World peace? Or at least Floyd Peace?
Yes.
Money
Look, everyone needs an escape from reality right now, and there’s nothing better than Pink Floyd’s music, performed live in The Sphere, to do just that.
So, here’s my plea: For the love of humanity and peace on Earth and Sally Struthers’ orphans!! Mend broken fences and bring Floyd to the Sphere! Stop putting grudges in the way of the survival of the human race!! For the love of God, the planet is melting under the icy bitterness of angry hearts!
Bezos! Elon! Pony up the cash for the betterment of entertainment. The good of mankind. Enough money to bring down the temperature in he world, and make everyone come together as one. Or at least get Pink Floyd back together. Because at the end of the day, it’s a small price to pay to help unite the world and move some sanctioned pharmaceuticals (wait, aren’t we doing that anyways?).
And my direct plea to Pink Floyd. Unite…perform live at the Sphere (even if you have to enter from opposite sides of the stage)and bring peace to the world. Or at least Dark Side OF The Moon, to The Sphere.
Yes, I know money isn’t everything, but it helps. Right? Besides, it’s a great song and needs to be played in The Sphere.
