“It sounded so amazing that people said to me, ‘I can hear the bass’, which usually they don’t say to me very often”: U2 bassist Adam Clayton contrasts the live audio mix in the Las Vegas Sphere to “these sports buildings that sound terrible”

U2.

It’s been over a year since U2 began their 40-concert residency at the Sphere, Las Vegas’s new spherical super-venue, and now bassist Adam Clayton has been reflecting on the experience of playing there.

“It was an amazing building and it was an amazing show to play,” he told Ireland’s The Late Late Show. “Because, normally, musicians are put in these sports buildings that sound terrible, but the Sphere sounded amazing. In fact, it sounded so amazing that people said to me, ‘I can hear the bass’, which usually they don’t say to me very often.”
