Dead & Company / Eyes of the World 5/18/24 The Sphere Las Vegas

[@slottsruinn]

Mayer is killing it imo, even though he has impossible shoes to fill. We all know no one can replace Jerry but Mayer got his stuff DOWN 🤝 I think Jerry would be proud of this continuation of their music. They’re keeping the spirit alive.

[@bridgetashmore7063]

Couldn’t agree more !!!

[@whowell04]

very true

[@novakaya]

Couldn’t disagree more. Sorry man. He’s a pop/blues guy. Doesn’t have a psychedelic lick in his tool box. Glad your loving it so much

[@dpayne7571]

@@novakaya WOW! You are so totally wrong about Mayer!

[@novakaya]

@@dpayne7571 okay. Wouldn’t be the first time. I’m open. Send me a link to something that proves me wrong

JRAD is better a way better cover band

[@FaTalHaz3x]

In case anybody was wondering about the visuals, there are alot more to come and they will be adding them in each show. They are uploading more as we speak. Literally. The files for each of the visuals are over 10 TB in size and it takes forever to transfer to the server at the Sphere, so they are constantly transferring new files and adding them in as the residency goes on. They didn't have time to upload everything in the time between Phish's shows and the D&C shows. They talked about all of this Friday on the GD channel on SiriusXM.

[@larrym2434]

So you're telling me that with all the cutting edge technology in the Sphere, they couldn't afford a good internet connection? I really need to hear this explanation on SiriusXM. 😂

[@FaTalHaz3x]

@@larrym2434 you must be ignorant of how tEcHnOloGy works. It would be an offline download, has nothing to do with the internet. There is just so much data that has to be transferred because the files are abnormally large, and that takes time. The videos are in 12K resolution. I'm guessing you don't know what a TB is, but it's so large you wouldn't even use 1 TB of data on your phone in 2 years.

[@larrym2434]

@@FaTalHaz3x Think harder, buddy. A TB is 1,000 GB. A USB 3.0 cable can transfer at the rate of 5Gbit/sec ( = 625MByte/sec) ... so a TB can be transferred from an external HD to a computer in 800 seconds, or less than 14 mintues. So ... a 10TB hard drive can be fedexed over night, and the whole contents can be transferred in under 140 minutes. Or with high speed fiber optic (AT&T sells fiber optic to consumers with same speed as USB 3.0 transfer) you can skip the FedEx overnight and make the transfer from Grateful Dead's production studio to Sphere computers in under 2.5 hours. Talk to your tech savvy friends if this doesn't make sense. Thank you and have a good day.

[@davekennedy4498]

I don't know anything about the technology. If what you're saying is that much better visuals are on the way that's great. What I do know is that these aren't. This is probably my favorite dead tune and I envisioned alot more. Nine minutes in gets better

[@larrym2434]

@@FaTalHaz3x OK, consider this. Say that the D&C video producers create a 10TB video file. They can overnight FedEx a 10TB hard drive (cost of HD - $250) Then, at the Sphere production studio in Vegas, they copy over the 10TB video via a USB 3.0 cable which transmits at 5Gbits/sec (= 625MB/sec). You’re smart so you know that there are 1,000GB in 1TB, so I’ll save you the math, but the file transfer will take 16,000 seconds, or just under 4.5 hours. Also, AT&T sells high speed fiber optic internet to consumers that will match the speed of a USB 3.0 cable, so instead of using FedEx, the 10TB file can be transferred over the internet in 4.5 hours. Of course, I am describing a consumer grade solution. A billion dollar operation like the Sphere could easily transfer files faster than what I have described, if they’re willing to spend a few thousand dollars on implementation. I’m still curious to know who was talking on SiriusXM, because either (1) You misheard them, or (2) they’re confused or (3) they’re blowing smoke. Thank you and have a good day.

How much money will this Vegas trip cost you? 2k? 3?

[@bahusofriends5467]

Who gives a wet f if one can afford the ticket price...? Btw, don't you think the stuff they deliver soundwise as well as visiually got a lot more elaborate? To me that really justifies the ticketfare..

[@ke4755]

Inside the Sphere Bobby's vocals sounded good, prob because the total sound was perfect. You could hear each string, etc. In other words, what was behind the voice balanced the overall sound. Most every song sounded A+ in the hall.

Holy fuck, some out of this world shit this is awesome thanks for the vid

[@chrisbergmanniii59]

Just my opinion but I feel like mayer should be singing the Jerry stuff. Bobby just never had that kind of emotion in his voice.

[@user-wj7mf1fj3r]

Fckin A right bro the energy isn’t there let that young gun stir it up !!

[@novakaya]

And Mayer does?? Kid hasn’t lived hard enough to inhabit these songs with any meaning man

[@Spacebird321]

Bob Weir can't sing at all and Mayer is just too bubble gum pop sounding. This band is a straight mess !

[@78thandSynth]

What did you record this with? Wonderful work

[@patrickluce7924]

I love Dead n Co. and I really try not to complain about the tempo cause I truly do love them. But do you think Bobby could slow down Eyes anymore? This version was so incredibly slow.

[@Spacebird321]

OMG, i suggest cleaning the wax out your ears....this literally sounds like a bad practice session and Weir can't even maintain a melody with his voice !

Caught a almost full show on here I think the biggest difference between shows when I was a kid and now is all the talking going on now use to could here a pin drop especially when jdrry stepped to the mike china doll comes to mind

[@doctorsteve9476]

if only we had this 30 years ago........

[@kevinmclain6741]

30 years ago Jerry nearly died every time he was forced to take the stage to keep the machine rolling... but before that when Grateful Dead songs were actually performed very well you wouldn't need a mile long screen to distract you from the music. You closed your eyes and felt the spirit and soul of it.

[@josephkain6213]

So much Dead&Co hate? why so angry? Namaste

[@earthsucks9555]

I think it’s the cost & drastic difference in sound compared to the original.

[@josephkain6213]

Naww somethin else goin on here, cause nobody be yapping bout phish tix.

[@jahlove4211]

There was tons of hate with the screensavers used on night one of Phish.

[@GratefulZen]

More anger, hatred, negativity and criticizing in our world. Also attachment to “what was.”

[@jerryskid89]

Back in the 80's and 90's we didn't have social media for people to complain. The pace of this Eyes is very similar to Eyes of that time.
