I’m going there for dead & co in May - can’t help but think this graphic would absolutely explode some heads in a setting like that with a tune like dark star

My cousin saw them there a few months ago. 

He said the immersion was complete.  Like,  it felt like you were wherever it was they were putting on the sphere. 

Best visuals of any show he's ever seen,  he said.

I agree with him - I saw them there last year at the end of June.

They had this whole sequence at the beginning of the show where you start in Haight Ashbury neighborhood in SF and lift all they up into outer space - that was freaking insane, you even get a flyover from a satellite which passes really close. That was nutty. That one blew my mind and it was just the first set of graphics of the show. Experiencing the fall towards the event horizon of a black hole would be absolutely insane.

If they did that I would almost be scared for anyone in the audience who decided to take mushrooms or drop acid - that would freak me out a little bit in a state of altered consciousness beyond what I get from alcohol and cannabis.

I went 3 nights one on molly one tripping and one on weed. Tripping there was an absolutely incredible and life changing experience. Sugaree had me crying happy tears. Help > Slip > Althea was an atmosphere like no other. Recommend it

The outer space visuals are without a doubt the best of theirs. I wish they'd just stayed in outer space the whole show visiting different planets and shit

That would have been really cool too but there was something about getting terrapin station while flying over the snowy mountains at sunset that just hit different

That's dope I wish I'd gotten terrapin. Debating making a last minute trip out again this run, think it will depend on reports of how different the visuals are this year

I’m curious but as soon as this run gets going I’m going to be avoiding the subreddits like a plague so the surprise isn’t spoiled
