I've heard a lot of strategy about seats--the floor sight lines don't pick up the atmos-sphere (get it?) and many of the upper levels have blocked areas. I saw my friend's vids from U2. Pretty wild.

Interested to see how this plays out with D&C. I've heard some rumors of them using the same 3 set lists every weekend which would be a crime against humanity. I don't think they'll do that but I do think there will be less variety in the song choices. Normal D&C songbook is like 95-110 songs per tour, about 17 songs a night. I feel like this run will condense the songbook to 55-75 songs with certain songs almost guaranteed to be played every weekend.

I feel like this run will condense the songbook to 55-75 songs with certain songs almost guaranteed to be played every weekend.
But mainly because I believe that because of the scheduling of the shows on consecutive weekends pretty much corrals people to fly/drive in for a 3 show weekend. There will be a few that will see more, but mostly is seems to me that the pattern will be come in for a weekend, see 3 shows and head home. Vegas is a total tourist town so just about all of the attendees will be from out of town.
Do you think a significant number of people will either come on multiple weekends or stay for 10 day to see 6 show? I don't. Some, but not many.
So that makes their plan a little more understandable. It is a good compromise between limiting the number of songs that need an entire creative team to plan/build/execute the Sphere effects, with not changing the tradition of not repeating songs very often, or tying the musicians hands during performances.
A lot comes down to how tightly integrated the music is with the effects. I saw U2 in the 90's and their show was so tightly integrated with their background videos, that the band pretty much had to recreate the same show almost note by note - something I can't see Weir, much less then the rest of the band, going along with.
Anyway - I thing you see what I am getting at - and unless they have programmed transitions, I will bet they will have something like 10 songs that are played with not so much improvisation (ie Ripple, FOTD) with closely coordinated visual effects, another 20 with looser coordination, and 30 or so with much less coordination of effects and actual changes in the music to allow for jamming and improvisation. And they probably can draw from that list in any order so the song pool for any weekend is the same 60 tunes or so, but can be played in any night in any order.
And that's not so bad, considering what they are doing. But WTF do I really know? I am thinking of catching a weekend there. Probably make some refundable plane/hotel reservations and watch the ticket market for bargains.

The real question is will One More Saturday Night be played every Saturday night? If not, why not??

The reason they are playing the Sphere is because it is an exceptionally cool venue that fits their psychovibe perfectly. It's a natural fit. Wouldn't be so much for Garth Brooks.

As for Phish, I already explained why I feel the Phish sphere is a cash grab. Its not because I think they're "immoral" for not playing more shows for less, its that I know this isn't the kind of show they typically like to do. Thus it feels like business interests and obligations are the primary reason for doing it, ergo a cash grab.

As for Phish, I believe that while it may not be their type of show, it's such a unique venue that it makes sense to go there for a few shows. Historically they have single shows, a few nights run (like this one) and then the 30 days MSG....

* Entry level pricing for a three ticket bundle, translation - cheap seats with limited view scape, increased by $100 in less than 24 hours. Today those tickets are $436 more than originally advertised. I do not like this new model.
* Sixteen years ago entry level Elton John tickets were $125 each night (still have my tic stubs) with lots of options at higher levels. Offered only as a point of comparison.
* Flights to Vegas are cheap and plentiful. Lodging is cheap and generally quite nice. Ticket prices are admittedly crazy but the total cost of the experience is moderated some by the fact it's Vegas. They make it easy to get to Vegas and leave your money behind.
